Receive

If someone wants to send tokens to your Keeta account, they’ll need your public address. This guide shows how to access your public key and present it using a QR code.

Option 1: Create a New Account

import * as KeetaNet from '@keetanetwork/keetanet-client';

// Generate a secure random seed
const seed = KeetaNet.lib.Account.generateRandomSeed({ asString: true });

// Create a new account from the seed (index 0)
const account = KeetaNet.lib.Account.fromSeed(seed, 0);

// Get the public address
const publicKey = account.publicKeyString.toString();
console.log("Your public Keeta address:", publicKey);

Option 2: Import an Existing Account

Once you have the account, you can share your publicKey to receive funds. This is the address others will send tokens to.

const existingSeed = "your existing seed string...";
const account = KeetaNet.lib.Account.fromSeed(existingSeed, 0);
const publicKey = account.publicKeyString.toString();

Generate a QR code

You can turn the public address into a QR code so others can scan and send easily. This works great on mobile wallets or in-person payments.

To generate a QR code image:

import { toDataURL } from "qrcode";

const qrCode = await toDataURL(accountPublicKey);

This gives you a base64 image URL (like data:image/png;base64,...) that you can embed in an <img> tag:

<img src={qrCode} />

You don’t need a specific library — any QR code tool that supports text-to-QR conversion will work. Just pass in the address string, and you're good to go.
