Address

Represents a Cardano address.

Associated functions​

from_bytes​

Decodes raw address bytes (see CIP 19). IS_TESTNET must be set to false for this to work for mainnet addresses.

Address::from_bytes(bytes: ByteArray) -> Address

from_data​

Address::from_data(data: Data) -> Address

from_hex​

Decodes the hexadecimal encoded bytes of a raw address (see CIP 19). IS_TESTNET must be set to false for this to work for mainnet addresses.

Address::from_hex(hex: String) -> Address

from_validator​

Constructs a validator Address with a Credential derived from a ValidatorHash.

Address::from_validator(vh: ValidatorHash) -> Address

The resulting Address doesn't have a StakingCredential.

new​

Constructs a new Address from a Credential and an optional StakingCredential:

Address::new(
    credential: Credential, 
    staking_credential: Option[StakingCredential]
) -> Address

new_empty​

Constructs a dummy Address with a dummy Credential whose bytes are all set to 0, and without a StakingCredential.

Address::new_empty() -> Address

Getters​

credential​

Get the payment Credential of an Address:

address.credential -> Credential

staking_credential​

Get the StakingCredential of an Address:

address.staking_credential -> Option[StakingCredential]

Operators​

==

Address == Address -> Bool

!=​

Address != Address -> Bool

Methods​

is_staked​

address.is_staked() -> Bool

serialize​

address.serialize() -> ByteArray

show​

Alias for to_hex.

address.show() -> String

to_bytes​

Returns the raw address bytes (see CIP 19). IS_TESTNET must be set to false for this to return a raw mainnet addresses.

address.to_bytes() -> ByteArray

to_hex​

Encodes the raw address bytes as a hexadecimal String (see CIP 19). IS_TESTNET must be set to false for this to return a raw mainnet addresses.
