The dagconfig package provides predefined configuration parameters for standard Kaspa networks. Developers can switch between networks by selecting the appropriate parameter set, such as MainnetParams or TestnetParams. These parameters are required when performing network-specific operations like generating addresses via util.NewAddressPubKey.
package main
import (
"flag"
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/kaspanet/kaspad/util"
"github.com/kaspanet/kaspad/domain/dagconfig"
)
var testnet = flag.Bool("testnet", false, "operate on the testnet Kaspa network")
// By default (without --testnet), use mainnet.
var dagParams = &dagconfig.MainnetParams
func main() {
flag.Parse()
// Modify active network parameters if operating on testnet.
if *testnet {
dagParams = &dagconfig.TestnetParams
}
// later...
// Create and print new payment address, specific to the active network.
pubKey := make([]byte, 32)
addr, err := util.NewAddressPubKey(pubKey, dagParams)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(addr)
}
