BIP39 Tool

A tool for converting BIP39 mnemonic phrases to addresses and private keys.

This tool tries to find the best world between Coinomi's and iancoleman's versions of the implementation, plus a few additions.

Note that this version is centered on my use of Coinomis's wallet, which has a few differences to exact BIP44 implementation:

Coinomi's Ethereum networks don't use change in the BIP44 path.

Online Version

https://tools.immae.eu/BIP39

Standalone offline version

Download bip39-standalone.html

Open the file in a browser by double clicking it.

This can be compiled from source using the command python compile.py

Usage

Enter your BIP39 phrase into the 'BIP39 Phrase' field, or press 'Generate Random Phrase'

If required, set the derivation path, although the defaults are quite usable.

See the table for a list of addresses generated from the phrase.

Toggle columns to blank to easily copy/paste a single column of data, eg to import private keys into a wallet or supply someone with a list of addresses.

The BIP32 keys can be used at bip32.org if desired.

Donations

Since this project is the efforts of many people, most of which don't appear in the obvious places like code or issues, donating to the project itself causes significant operational difficulties.

As a result, if you would like to support this project financially you are encouraged to donate to one of the many groups that makes the internet a place amenable to projects such as this one.

Donation-accepting organizations and projects

If the list is too difficult to choose from, the EFF is a good choice.
