Make Wallet From Address
You can instantiate a wallet from a specified Bech32 (opens in a new tab) Address to get a CIP-30 (opens in a new tab) wallet object by calling the makeWalletFromAddress function.
Specify Provider
It can be Blockfrost (opens in a new tab), Koios (opens in a new tab), Maestro (opens in a new tab), etc. Even your custom provider, as long as it implements the Provider interface.
For example, with Blockfrost provider:
import { Blockfrost, Provider } from "@lucid-evolution/lucid";
/**
* The endpoint based on the Cardano network,
* please refer to Blockfrost documentations.
*/
const blockfrostURL: string = process.env.BF_URL!;
/**
* Your secret Blockfrost Project ID
*/
const blockfrostPID: string = process.env.BF_PID!;
const blockfrost: Provider = new Blockfrost(
blockfrostURL,
blockfrostPID,
);Other providers follow a similar pattern.
Create CIP-30 Wallet
import { makeWalletFromAddress } from "@lucid-evolution/lucid";
const provider = blockfrost;
const network: Network = "Mainnet"; // "Mainnet" | "Preview" | "Preprod" | "Custom"
const address = "addr1_... your address here"; // Bech32
const utxos = await provider.getUtxos(address); // UTxO[]
const wallet = makeWalletFromAddress(provider, network, address, utxos); // CIP-30
