BaseAddress

class cometa.address.base_address.BaseAddress(ptr)[source]

Bases: object

Represents a Cardano base address.

Base addresses contain both a payment credential and a stake credential, making them the most common address type for receiving funds and staking.

The payment credential controls spending, while the stake credential determines where staking rewards are directed.

__init__(ptr)[source]

Return type:: None

__enter__()[source]

Return type:: BaseAddress

__exit__(exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb)[source]

Return type:: None

__repr__()[source]

Return repr(self).

Return type:: str

classmethod from_credentials(network_id, payment, stake)[source]

Creates a base address from payment and stake credentials.

Parameters:

network_id (NetworkId) – The network (mainnet or testnet).
payment (Credential) – The payment credential controlling spending.
stake (Credential) – The stake credential controlling staking rewards.

Returns:

A new BaseAddress instance.

Raises:

CardanoError – If address creation fails.

Return type:

BaseAddress

Example

>>> payment = Credential.from_key_hash("00" * 28)
>>> stake = Credential.from_key_hash("11" * 28)
>>> addr = BaseAddress.from_credentials(NetworkId.MAINNET, payment, stake)

classmethod from_address(address)[source]

Creates a BaseAddress from a generic Address.

Parameters:: address (Address) – A generic Address that must be a base address.
Returns:: A new BaseAddress instance.
Raises:: CardanoError – If the address is not a base address.
Return type:: BaseAddress

classmethod from_bech32(bech32_string)[source]

Creates a BaseAddress from a Bech32-encoded string.

Parameters:: bech32_string (str) – The Bech32-encoded address string.
Returns:: A new BaseAddress instance.
Raises:: CardanoError – If parsing fails.
Return type:: BaseAddress

Example

>>> addr = BaseAddress.from_bech32("addr1...")

classmethod from_bytes(data)[source]

Creates a BaseAddress from raw bytes.

Parameters:: data (bytes | bytearray) – The serialized address bytes.
Returns:: A new BaseAddress instance.
Raises:: CardanoError – If parsing fails.
Return type:: BaseAddress
