deriveaddresses

deriveaddresses “descriptor” ( range )

Derives one or more addresses corresponding to an output descriptor. Examples of output descriptors are: pkh() P2PKH outputs for the given pubkey wpkh() Native segwit P2PKH outputs for the given pubkey sh(multi(,,,…)) P2SH-multisig outputs for the given threshold and pubkeys raw() Outputs whose output script equals the specified hex-encoded bytes tr(,multi_a(,,,…)) P2TR-multisig outputs for the given threshold and pubkeys

In the above, either refers to a fixed public key in hexadecimal notation, or to an xpub/xprv optionally followed by one or more path elements separated by ”/”, where “h” represents a hardened child key. For more information on output descriptors, see the documentation in the doc/descriptors.md file.

Arguments:

descriptor (string, required) The descriptor.
range (numeric or array, optional) If a ranged descriptor is used, this specifies the end or the range (in [begin,end] notation) to derive.

Result (for single derivation descriptors): [ (json array) “str”, (string) the derived addresses … ]

Result (for multipath descriptors): [ (json array) The derived addresses for each of the multipath expansions of the descriptor, in multipath specifier order [ (json array) The derived addresses for a multipath descriptor expansion “str”, (string) the derived address … ], … ]

Examples: First three native segwit receive addresses
