chantools walletinfo

Shows info about an lnd wallet.db file and optionally extracts the BIP32 HD root key

Synopsis

Shows some basic information about an lnd wallet.db file, like the node identity the wallet belongs to, how many on-chain addresses are used and, if enabled with –withrootkey the BIP32 HD root key of the wallet. The latter can be useful to recover funds from a wallet if the wallet password is still known but the seed was lost. The 24 word seed phrase itself cannot be extracted because it is hashed into the extended HD root key before storing it in the wallet.db. In case lnd was started with “–noseedbackup=true” your wallet has the default password. To unlock the wallet set the environment variable WALLET_PASSWORD=”-“ or simply press without entering a password when being prompted.
