## Supported coins
Supported BIP coins:
- Akash Network

- Kusama (based on BIP44 and ed25519 SLIP-0010, like TrustWallet, it won't generate the same addresses of Polkadot-JS)
- Litecoin (and related test net)
- Metis
- Monero (based on BIP44 and secp256k1 or ed25519 SLIP-0010, it won't generate the same addresses of the official wallets, but it supports subaddresses generation)
- Nano
- Near Protocol
- NEO (legacy and N3)
- Neutron
- Nimiq
- OKEx Chain (Ethereum and Cosmos addresses)
- Ontology
- Optimism
- Osmosis

- Polygon
- Ripple
- Secret Network
- Solana
- Stafi (Cosmos)
- Stellar
- Sui (only ed25519)

- Kusama
- Moonbeam

- Generic Substrate coin
For what regards Monero, it's also possible to generate the same addresses of the official wallets without using BIP44 derivation.
Clearly, for those coins that support Smart Contracts (e.g. Ethereum, Tron, ...), the generated keys and addresses are valid for all the related tokens.
## Install the package
For the secp256k1 curve, it's possible to use either the *coincurve* or the *ecdsa* library. *coincurve* is much faster since it's a Python wrapper to the secp256k1 C library, while *ecdsa* is a pure Python implementation.\
By default *coincurve* will be used, but it's possible to disable it when installing.
To install the package:
- Default installation (*coincurve* will be used for secp256k1)
- Using *pip*, from this directory (local):
pip install .
- Using *pip*, from PyPI:
pip install bip_utils
- Alternative installation (*ecdsa* will be used for secp256k1)
- Using *setuptools*:
python setup.py install --coincurve=0
- Edit the file *bip_utils/ecc/conf.py* by setting `USE_COINCURVE` to `False`, then install with *pip*:
pip install .
**NOTES:**
- if you are using an Apple M1, please make sure to update *coincurve* to version 17.0.0
- in case of problems when building the *ed25519_blake2b* library, you can try one of the prebuilt wheels [here](https://github.com/ebellocchia/bip_utils/tree/master/libs_wheels)
## Test and Coverage
Install develop dependencies:
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
To run tests:
python -m unittest discover
To run tests with coverage:
coverage run -m unittest discover
coverage report
To run code analysis, just execute the `analyze_code` script.
