loadNetwork

Loads the WASM binaries from @provablehq/sdk for one Aleo network and returns a network-bound handle (AleoSdk) exposing key and account derivation, proving configuration, and record scanning. The SDK module cache memoizes the load, so calling loadNetwork twice for the same network reuses the same binary set instead of re-instantiating it.

Most of the handle's key and account operations (privateKeyToAccount, mnemonicToAccount, generateAccount, decryptRecord, verifySignature) are mathematically network-agnostic — the same private key or mnemonic derives the same address and view key regardless of which network's binary was loaded. Proving and client-building operations (createProvingConfig, createAleoClient, the scanner factories) are network-bound: they target the network passed to loadNetwork. Switching networks means loading a new handle; accounts derived under the previous handle remain valid under the new one.

Usage​

import { loadNetwork } from '@provablehq/veil-aleo-sdk'

const aleo = await loadNetwork('testnet')

const account = aleo.privateKeyToAccount('APrivateKey1...')

Returns​

Promise<AleoSdk>

A handle bound to the named network, exposing network (the name passed in) plus the account, proving, and scanner methods documented on their own pages under this section.

Parameters​

name​

  • Type: 'mainnet' | 'testnet'

Network whose WASM binaries to load.
