Extract Substrate and Polkadot compatible ed25519 keys from Ledger mnemonic phrases

substrate-ledger-ed25519

Extract Substrate and Polkadot-compatible ed25519 private keys from a known Ledger mnemonic. This allows you to recover the private key that is normally locked in the Ledger hardware.

Installation

• Clone the repo via git clone https://github.com/jacogr/substrate-ledger-ed25519.git
• Change into the folder cd substrate-ledger-ed25519
• Install the dependencies via npm install (or yarn)

Usage

npm start <polkadot|kusma> <mnemonic> <account> <address>

Where the 4 arguments are:

• app type - Either polkadot or kusama, e.g. kusama
• mnemonic - The full quoted 24-word/25-word mnemonic (enclose it with " at the start and end), e.g. "abandon ... about"
• account - The index of the account you are using, e.g 0
• address - The index of the address you are using, e.g. 0

Mac OS / Linux:

• history -c once completed to delete terminal history

Example:

npm start kusama "abandon ... about" 0 0

Full example (known seed):

npm start "kusama" "abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon about" 0 0

substrate-ledger-ed25519's Issues

From ed25519 seed to Polkadot.js

Hi Jaco, thanks for the tool.

Having ed25519 seed, is there a way to import it to the Polkadot.js extension and therefore gain the complete control over the account via the https://polkadot.js.org/apps/ ?

FYI Importing the seed in the extension using "Import account from pre-existing seed" leads to an address mismatch ( whether you insert the derive path or not, i.e. m/44'/354'/0'/0'/0' )

Thanks

Doesn't account for 25th word

Having problems extracting my seed, I added an extra 25th word to my ledger and the program does not like that.

Explain please. How to use this program on Windows?🙏

Commands don't work for me.

all ledger networks?

this seems a bit behind in not having all the networks as in the apps ui can i do something to resolve? i did fork.

Support acala wallet

Hello,
I want to use for an acala wallet, this is possible?
Thanks for help

Wrong raw seed

The code generated the right account but not the correct raw seed. Any help?

Acala functionality?

First, thanks for the clear instructions. I have never used CLI before and was able to get your program to work using the test mnemonic phrase as practice. I have yet to use my actual mnemonic as I am having trouble conceptualizing if your tool will help me sign a polkadot relay chain transaction using Acala parachain keys. (The wallet was created with a ledger) I have a similar problem to the users in this tread: polkadot-js/apps#4487 "1010: Invalid Transaction: Transaction has a bad signature" Any hope for the Acala folks with this issue? Must the Polkadot Ledger app be updated to include a DOT recovery option but this time for Acala?
