Grin - Basic Wallet

Wallet Files

A Grin wallet maintains its state in the following files -

wallet.seed  # *** passphrase protected seed file (keep this private) ***
wallet.dat   # wallet outputs (both spent and unspent)
wallet.lock  # lock file, prevents multiple processes writing to wallet.dat

By default Grin will look for these in the current working directory.

Basic Wallet Commands

grin wallet --help will display usage info about the following.

grin wallet init

Before using a wallet a new seed file wallet.seed needs to be generated via grin wallet init -

grin wallet init
Generating wallet seed file at: ./wallet.seed

grin wallet info

Some (very) basic information about current wallet outputs can be displayed with grin wallet info -

grin wallet -p "password" info
Using wallet seed file at: ./wallet.seed
Outputs -
key_id, height, lock_height, status, spendable?, coinbase?, value
