You can generate IOTA addresses calling the
[`Client.get_addresses()`](https://docs.rs/iota-client/latest/iota_client/client/struct.Client.html#method.get_addresses)
function and respective chaining calls that will return a list of tuples with the generated addresses. You can find
more information on the parameters in the [Address/Key Space section](../../../explanations/address_key_space.md).

The whole process is deterministic. This means the output is the same as long as the seed is the same:

<CodeBlock className="language-javascript">
    {generate_addresses}
</CodeBlock>

**Output example**:

```palintext

IOTA addresses are represented by a checksumed base-32 string (Bech32). You can find a detailed explanation in the
[Chrysalis documentations](https://wiki.iota.org/chrysalis-docs/guides/developer/#iota-15-address-anatom), but here are
parts relevant to this example:

* If an address starts with `atoi` then it means it is related to `devnet`. `iota` stands for `mainnet`.
* Number `1` at the 5<sup>th</sup> position is just a separator.
* The last 6 characters are reserved for a checksum.

Addresses can be also represented in a hex format and `iota.rs` provides some convenient functions to convert addresses:
[`Client.bech32ToHex(bech32)`](https://docs.rs/iota-client/latest/iota_client/client/struct.Client.html#method.bech32_to_hex)
and [`Client.hex_to_bech32(hex, bech32_hrp (optional))`](https://docs.rs/iota-client/latest/iota_client/client/struct.Client.html#method.hex_to_bech32).

If you want to quickly validate any IOTA address, you can use the
[`Client.is_address_valid()`](https://docs.rs/iota-client/latest/iota_client/client/struct.Client.html#method.is_address_valid)
function that returns a `bool` value. You should perform a sanity check on address before using it.
