# getStxAddress

Returns the STX address for an account on a given network. Supports both a positional and an options-object call style.

***

### Usage

```ts
import { getStxAddress, generateWallet } from '@stacks/wallet-sdk';

const wallet = await generateWallet({
  secretKey: 'your 24-word seed phrase ...',
  password: 'password',
});

const account = wallet.accounts[0];

// Options object style
const mainnetAddress = getStxAddress({ account, network: 'mainnet' });
// 'SP...'

const testnetAddress = getStxAddress({ account, network: 'testnet' });
// 'ST...'

// Positional style
const address = getStxAddress(account, 'mainnet');
// 'SP...'
```

#### Notes

* Defaults to `'mainnet'` if no network is specified.
* Mainnet addresses start with `SP`, testnet/devnet addresses start with `ST`.
* Uses `getAddressFromPrivateKey` from `@stacks/transactions` internally.
