Rust Wallet Key Manager for Eclipse

This Rust project provides a simple tool for managing private and public keys in Base58 format, commonly used for wallets like Backpack wallet. It decodes the keys, validates their size, and serializes them into a JSON file for storage.

Features

• Base58 Decoding: Converts Base58-encoded private and public keys into byte arrays.
• Key Validation: Ensures that both private and public keys are 32 bytes long, trimming the private key if necessary.
• Keypair Serialization: Concatenates the private and public keys into a single keypair and serializes it into a JSON file (wallet.json).

Prerequisites

To run this code, you need to have the following installed:

• Rust (Programming Language)
• bs58 (Base58 encoding/decoding library for Rust)
• serde_json (Serialization library for JSON in Rust)

Project Structure

The project is organized as follows: rust-wallet-key-manager/ │ └── wallet_key_json/ ├── Cargo.toml # Rust manifest file └── src/ └── main.rs # Main Rust code

Installation

1. Install dependencies by adding the necessary crates to your Cargo.toml file:

   [dependencies]
   bs58 = "0.4"
   serde_json = "1.0"

2. Compile the project:

   cargo build

Usage

1. Open the src/main.rs file and replace the placeholder values your_base58_private_key_here and your_base58_public_key_here with your actual Base58-encoded private and public keys.

2. Run the project:

   cargo run

3. Once the program runs successfully, it will generate a file called wallet.json in the project directory containing the serialized keypair.

Example

For example, if your private and public keys are as follows:

• Private Key: 8p3fsFU7GnRTU5L26WQiqM7RAEs8nXyZ2L9Qqc8vCRT8XctwUqe
• Public Key: B2QmI8eA5WNSnH5F7MZRVNYvExg5AQkrtk

The resulting wallet.json file will look something like this:

[67, 98, 65, 213, 135, 20, ... ]
