X25519 is trteated as a distinct algorithm, not as an EC curve. You don't actually "generate" the public key you can extract or calculate the public key corresponding to a private key though. The pkey command can do this for any supported algorithm: openssl pkey -in privkey.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson. OpenSSL project core developer.
