  <Tab title="TypeScript">
    ```typescript theme={null}
    import Align from "@tolbel/align";

    const align = new Align({
      apiKey: process.env.ALIGN_API_KEY!,
      environment: "sandbox",
    });

    // Encrypted keystore JSON (typically stored in a file or database)
    const encryptedJson = `{

        "ciphertext": "...",
        "kdf": "scrypt",
        ...
      }
    }`;

    const wallet = await align.blockchain.wallets.createFromEncrypted(
      encryptedJson,
      "mySecurePassword123"
    );

    console.log(`Decrypted wallet: ${wallet.address}`);
    ```

  <Tab title="JavaScript">
    ```javascript theme={null}
    const wallet = await align.blockchain.wallets.createFromEncrypted(
      encryptedJson,
      password
    );
    console.log("Address:", wallet.address);
    ```

### Load from File

```typescript theme={null}
import fs from "fs";

// Read keystore file
const keystorePath = "./keystore/wallet.json";
const encryptedJson = fs.readFileSync(keystorePath, "utf8");

// Decrypt with password
const wallet = await align.blockchain.wallets.createFromEncrypted(
  encryptedJson,
  process.env.WALLET_PASSWORD!
);
```

## Encryption/Decryption Flow

    A[Create Wallet] --> B[Encrypt with Password]
    B --> C[Store Encrypted JSON]
    C --> D[Read JSON from Storage]
    D --> E[Decrypt with Password]
    E --> F[Use Wallet]
```

<Info>
  Decryption can take several seconds as it's intentionally slow (using scrypt)
  to prevent brute-force attacks.
