HDWallet derivation

This small script is proof that CB wallet does what I think it does, and using the standard derivation paths from BIP44.

And no. There are no assets associated with this seed phrase. Sorry.

wallet.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from hdwallet import HDWallet
from hdwallet.utils import generate_entropy
from hdwallet.symbols import ETH
from typing import Optional

from eth_account import Account
import secrets

import json

# import our mnemonic 
wallet = HDWallet().from_mnemonic(mnemonic='dice work glue there kiwi shadow promote aim virtual fever oval fringe')

# That's our master seed!
print(wallet.seed())

# Derivation from path is also possible:
# wallet.from_path("m/44'/60'/0'/0/0").
# But doing it step-by-step is more educational.
wallet.from_index(44, hardened=True)
wallet.from_index(60, hardened=True)
wallet.from_index(0, hardened=True)
wallet.from_index(0)
# Change this to "1" or "2" or "3" to derive other addresses!
wallet.from_index(0)

# We should now be able to get the private key
print("Address 1 should have the following private key:", wallet.private_key())

# Derive our ETH address
private_key = "0x" + wallet.private_key()
eth_account = Account.from_key(private_key)
print("Address 1 should have the following ETH address:", eth_account.address)
