Export EVM Private Key

​

Overview

​

Prerequisites

• Created an EVM wallet
• Persisted WalletProperties and List<ServerKeyShare>

​

Export the Key

import xyz.dynamic.waas.evm.DynamicEvmWalletClient;

String privateKeyHex = client.exportPrivateKey(
    walletProperties,
    externalServerKeyShares
).join();

// 0x-prefixed 32-byte hex, e.g. "0xabcd…"
System.out.println("Private key: " + privateKeyHex);

​

Verifying the exported key

import org.web3j.crypto.Credentials;
import org.web3j.crypto.ECKeyPair;
import org.web3j.utils.Numeric;

ECKeyPair pair    = ECKeyPair.create(Numeric.toBigInt(privateKeyHex));
Credentials creds = Credentials.create(pair);
String derived    = creds.getAddress();   // EIP-55 checksum form

assert derived.equalsIgnoreCase(walletProperties.accountAddress());

​

Best Practices

• Treat exports as a one-way operation — don’t use the same wallet through MPC after exporting; rotate to a fresh wallet.
• Never log the key — redact it from all logs and error messages. The SDK’s tracing instrumentation already skips this arg; do the same in your own code.
• Zero memory after use — keep the key as char[] / byte[] where possible and explicitly zero it after forwarding to its destination.
• Transport over TLS only — never send the key over an unencrypted channel.

Next Steps

• Use delegated access
• Import an existing private key
