Yes, you can easily derive the XOR from raw bytes. There is a client library to do so (see autonomi_chunk::Chunk

Is that XorName or the xor address?

chunk data → sha3-256 → XorName → sha256 → Xor actual address

[Traktion]

I can’t remember having to be aware of the difference, tbh. Certainly, you can derive what you feed into the client library to address the chunk you want to download.

The APIs will most likely only deal with XorName except for distance between nodes in Xor Space and closest nodes determination & routing which is buried much deeper than I suspect the apis are concerned with

So if you don’t know then it’ll be XorName.
