Creating a Wallet on Inery Node

Opening a wallet on an Inery node is a straightforward process that requires just a single command. To begin, you’ll need to obtain the Inery binaries, which include the kined wallet program. Once you have the binaries in place, you can quickly initiate the wallet creation process, ensuring a seamless start to interacting with the Inery DLT.

Open Default Wallet

The default wallet is automatically created when you first run the cline wallet create command without specifying a wallet name. It serves as the primary wallet for your node and is stored in the inery-wallet directory. If no other wallet is specified, all subsequent operations will be linked to this default wallet.

info

When running the command for the first time, the kined program (the wallet manager) will automatically initialize, and an inery-wallet directory will be created in your home directory (~).

To create wallet on your inery node use cline wallet create command along with --file <file_name> or --to-console arguments.

• --file <file_name> Saves the wallet password in the specified file for secure storage and future reference.

Create Wallet and Save Password to File

cline wallet create --file def_wall_psw.txt

• --to-console Displays the wallet password directly in the console, allowing you to copy it immediately.

Create Wallet to Standard Output

cline wallet create --to-console

Example Output

Creating wallet: default Save password to use in the future to unlock this wallet.
Without password imported keys will not be retrievable. "PW5HpJkXupxBnXMkzBvFbxx8FAwEXAkhVV8FbKQMCVNioCy4mnynh"

Important

Make sure to store the wallet password securely. You can choose to save it in a file, but for enhanced security, consider using cold storage options such as writing it down and storing it physically. Remember, losing the password means losing access to your wallet, so keep it safe and accessible only to you.

Create Additional Wallets

In addition to the default wallet, you can create multiple wallets by using the --name flag followed by the desired wallet name. This allows you to easily manage separate wallets for different purposes or projects. For example, to create a new wallet named customWallet, use the following command:

Create Wallet With Custom Name

cline wallet create --name customWallet -file customWalletPSW.txt

Example Output

Creating wallet: customWallet
Save password to use in the future to unlock this wallet.
Without password imported keys will not be retrievable. saving password to customWalletPSW.txt

You can choose either option based on your security preferences and convenience. Printing the password to the console is useful for quick access, while saving it to a file provides a safer way to store and retrieve the password later. Remember, you can create as many wallets as you need to manage different projects or environments, giving you complete flexibility and control over your node’s wallet management.
