Indexes to derive addresses. Starting from default_index
, the following addresses can be derived with index_succ

type address = Client.Viewing_key.address
To be given to the payer. Does not appear on the blockchain. Different addresses can be derived from one key which is necessary to prevent a loss of anonymity because of several payers colluding. e.g. two payers can conclude that they are paying the same person if they send money to the same address. *
val address_encoding : address Data_encoding.t
val address_b58check_encoding : address Tezos_crypto.Base58.encoding
Returns a new address and a new index to be used for the next address generation. *
val dummy_address : unit -> address
A dummy address can be generated to create dummy inputs or outputs of value 0. Note that tokens sent to dummy addresses are lost! *
Incoming viewing keys can be used to see transactions received to any address generated from this key. This feature is not enforced by the protocol, a payer could spend tokens on-chain and transmit to the recipient invalid information. The recipient should always check the received transactions with its ivk. *
