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.

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