About taproot address

[vneos]

Hi everyone.

I'm struggling with the taproot address.

In python, how to convert a hexadecimal privatekey to taproot address?

I use bech32m lib but the taproot address generated is doesn't match to the correct address.

Can anyone explain taproot address generation process? I want use a hexadecimal privatekey to generate taproot address.

Thank you.

Well From the Little search and knowledge i think you should try to coverts your personal key to a wallet and it should be a new version 0 maybe on your phone or desktop.
This are some steps you could take just follow them!!
Step 1


Step2

Step3

This should be of help after run them

The cited topic is mostly about how to deal with Taproot with various software and hardware wallets. I couldn't find anything related to OP's question on how to properly derive Taproot addresses from a private key in Python.

I've no experience with this in Python, but I assume a mandatory intermediate step is to properly get the public key by elliptic curve magic from the private key and then apply some Python Taproot library magic. Can't assist here further...

Tap root is a significant upgrade with the adoption of bitcoin core version 0.21.0. It introduces several improvements, including enhanced privacy, improved smart contract flexibility and increased efficiency
Tap root address is a pay to public key hash (p2pkh) address that utilizes the new taproot script. Tap root addresses provide increased privacy by allowing multiple parties to collaborate on complex transactions without revealing the details of the transactions script. It also enables more advanced smart contract capabilities. With taproot complex smart contracts can be represented as a single public key, known as taproot key. This shows that more sophisticated transactions can be implemented simply using taproot addresses

I deliberately quoted the full post. The OP is not asking for an explanation of what Taproot is. What you posted sounds a lot like you copied or paraphrased some other source which you don't cite properly. If true, your forum account might be in trouble due to some sort of plagiarism.

You're right to be confused — deriving Taproot addresses from a private key requires some care, especially with x-only public keys and Bech32m encoding.

Here’s a working example in Python using the latest `bitcoinutils` library. This code converts a WIF-format private key (e.g., testnet key starting with `c`) into a valid Taproot address (key-path spend only, no script tree):

```python
from bitcoinutils.setup import setup
from bitcoinutils.keys import PrivateKey

# Select 'mainnet' or 'testnet'
setup('testnet')

# Replace this with your WIF private key (not hex)
wif_privkey = 'cPeon9fBsW2BxwJTALj3hGzh9vm8C52U.....'
priv = PrivateKey(wif_privkey)

# Derive the x-only public key and taproot address
pub = priv.get_public_key()
x_only = pub.to_x_only_hex()
taproot_addr = pub.get_taproot_address()

print("Taproot address:", taproot_addr.to_string())
```


✅ Notes:
   •   Input must be in WIF format (not raw hex).
   •   Output address is Bech32m encoded (per BIP-350).
   •   This creates a key-path Taproot address. No tweaking or script tree involved.

If you’re working on advanced Taproot scripts (e.g., Merkle trees, control blocks, script-path spends), I’ve published a real testnet implementation here:

Happy to help if you want to go deeper into Taproot engineering!

It's better when you post code in [code]...[/code] tags, because it can happen that parts of your code get swallowed by the BBcode interpreter. (It doesn't look like it happened with your code example above, though, but it's simply good habit to use code tags.

Especially prone to be swallowed is the character sequence of [i] which occurs quite often in some code or code examples. If you have this in your posted code and don't use code tags, [i] gets removed from posted code and subsequent code text is seen in italic font style, because [i] starts italic text.

You don't want that to happen.


I've bookmarked your Github repo and will have a look what you offer there.
