Key Management

This article is a guide about key management strategy on client side of your Decentralised Application on RupayX

Setup Web3

web3.js is a javascript library that allows our client-side application to talk to the blockchain. We configure web3 to communicate via Metamask.

web3.js doc is here

Connect to RPX network

    // mainnet 
     const web3 = new Web3('https://mainnet-rpc.rupayx.com');
    // testnet
    const web3 = new Web3('https://testnet-rpc.rupayx.com');

Set up account

If the installation and instantiation of web3 was successful, the following should successfully return a random account:

    const account = web3.eth.accounts.create();

Recover account

If you have backup the private key of your account, you can use it to restore your account.

    const account = web3.eth.accounts.privateKeyToAccount("$private-key")

Full Example

const Web3 = require('web3');
async function main() {

    const web3 = new Web3('https://mainnet-rpc.rupayx.com');
    const loader = setupLoader({ provider: web3 }).web3;

    const account = web3.eth.accounts.create();
    console.log(account);
}
