derive_zcash

Overview ¶

derive_zcash derives a Zcash transparent (t1) address from a BIP39 mnemonic for testing.

Usage:

go run ./scripts/derive_zcash "your 24 word seed phrase here"

Or with stdin:

echo "your 24 word seed phrase" | go run ./scripts/derive_zcash

Note: This derives a transparent t1 address (BIP44 m/44'/133'/0'/0/0). YWallet and other modern Zcash wallets use Unified Addresses (u1) or Sapling shielded addresses (zs1), which use ZIP-32 derivation—a different key tree. The t1 address will not match YWallet's u1 address for the same seed.
