Network constants

The XNS protocol wallet uses the same key material on every supported Monero network:

view secret:
935830fc11250e25153160951c1ba9152e5fee00763890314b67532ae6385607

view public key:
6451616df9f393cba2315d252e04dcaf8f60fdeed95a74c77a4e6585e90f0823

spend derivation input:
XNS

spend public key derived with Monero hash-to-EC:
a0cd652c2b2b9ee7664079650b6a738c7ec3551034c7950a4bc2f1ca02adc999

The spend public key is generated from public protocol data, not from a spend secret. There is no known Monero private spend scalar for the hash-derived point.

Mainnet

address prefix: 18
restore height: 3690551
address:
47iYR5A7CRbfhs8LQaHSMxQVynmKbTbbi2itFFo4Wg6tSf6Qhzsxe3Lb4W3FbyKCFMWN9rT5EUjzTaNBgS6NCeNj4y35XNS

Select mainnet explicitly with --mainnet.

Stagenet

address prefix: 24
restore height: 2135563
address:
57vaVv54r2hfhs8LQaHSMxQVynmKbTbbi2itFFo4Wg6tSf6Qhzsxe3Lb4W3FbyKCFMWN9rT5EUjzTaNBgS6NCeNj536CQMd

Use --stagenet with both the claim tool and indeXer. A stagenet wallet, node and protocol address must be used together.

Testnet

address prefix: 53
restore height: 3018160
address:
9yG5uKpNUnhfhs8LQaHSMxQVynmKbTbbi2itFFo4Wg6tSf6Qhzsxe3Lb4W3FbyKCFMWN9rT5EUjzTaNBgS6NCeNj4ysvF9S

The Go protocol package records the testnet constants, but the current xns command-line interface exposes mainnet and stagenet only.

Deriving the address

For a selected network:

  1. multiply the Ed25519 base point by the canonical view secret to obtain the view public key
  2. derive the spend public key as Monero hash-to-EC over XNS
  3. encode the network prefix as a varint
  4. append the 32-byte spend public key
  5. append the 32-byte view public key
  6. append the first four bytes of Keccak-256 over the preceding body
  7. encode the complete value with Monero Base58

These are the canonical XNS protocol addresses. Implementations should derive and verify them from the protocol key material and network prefixes rather than trusting copied address strings.

Node URLs are intentionally absent. A Monero daemon is chosen by the user or operator and has no place among protocol constants.
