Getting started

First create a new wallet and generate your mnemonic squence:

$ cardano-wallet new-wallet myWallet -p simplePassword
mnemonic: banner capital gift plate worth sand pass canvas pave decade pig borrow cruel lunar arena

If you already have a wallet you can restore it using a mnemonic and password:running this command:

$ cardano-wallet new-wallet restoredWallet -m=talent,risk,require,split,leave,script,panel,slight,entire,soap,chase,pill,grant,laugh,fringe -p simplePassword

You can inspect your wallets using the list-wallets command:

$ cardano-wallet list-wallets
ID              NAME      ADDRESS
wl_uu4FmZvNYG   myWallet  1

By default a new wallet is created with one payment address, you can create more addresses running the following command:

$ cardano-wallet new-address wl_uu4FmZvNYG
New address addr_test1vz8vyz6pk6hwgwqz239rcyk52e659aefa8g08amm80tq8ag9eng6q

To get all addresses run:

$ cardano-wallet list-address wallet_WGejugqca4 --testnet
PATH                      ADDRESS
m/1852'/1815'/0'/0/0      addr_test1vpfla0wgltpjwxzt52p7wkn720eact33udlq9z8xrc6cypc3c70f5

You can get your balance running:

$ cardano-wallet balance wallet_WGejugqca4 --testnet
ASSET                     AMOUNT
