AdaKeys.com is an educational tool for exploring how Cardano wallet addresses are derived from entropy. It demonstrates how 12, 15, and 24-word mnemonics (based on 128, 160, or 256-bit hex values) are used to generate both Icarus-style (Ae2td...) and Shelley-era (addr1..., stake1...) addresses following standard cryptographic derivation paths.

## About the Project
**AdaKeys.com** is a comprehensive explorer of potential Cardano private keys. It focuses on both **Byron-era** (`ae2td...`) and **Shelley-era** (`addr1...`) address formats, built on the **Ed25519** curve. The platform provides a transparent view into the structure of private keys and how they correspond to valid Cardano addresses.
## Key Generation Process
Cardano private keys are 256-bit integers within a defined cryptographic range. Instead of storing keys in a database, **AdaKeys.com** generates them in real time based on page indices. Each page corresponds to a unique set of private keys and their associated public addresses.
## Search Functionality
Users can look up specific private keys using **hexadecimal**, **decimal**, or **raw binary** formats. This tool maps each key to its corresponding Cardano address and helps determine where any given key resides within the larger keyspace.
## Address Activity Monitoring
Each derived address is automatically checked for on-chain activity:
- **Green** highlights indicate addresses with a current balance.
- **Yellow** means the address had previous transactions but now holds no funds.
- **Gray** identifies addresses that have never been seen on the blockchain.
This visual system makes it easy to identify live or historical usage patterns across Cardano's public ledger.
