Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when wallet generation needs to happen from a terminal, particularly for multi-chain development, testing or batch workflows.
Who it is for
- Developers creating wallets for scripts or local development workflows.
- Technical users working across multiple blockchain networks.
- Users who need batch generation, selected address formats or exported CSV output.
Documented uses
- Generate a random wallet for a selected blockchain.
- Create mnemonic strings of documented lengths.
- Generate multiple wallets in one operation.
- Request address prefixes, suffixes or chain-specific formats.
- Save generated results to CSV or display them through clipboard and QR options.

Install Cryptowallet CLI and generate a wallet
Install the command-line wallet generator and create a wallet for a selected or default chain.
Before you start
- Node.js package tooling through npm, pnpm, Yarn or Bun.
- A command-line environment.
Steps
Install the package globally with npm, pnpm, Yarn or Bun as documented.
Run
cwto generate a random EVM-compatible wallet, or use-cwith a documented chain ticker.Use documented options such as
-m,-n,--csv,--copyor--qrfor the required output.Use
cw -lto list supported blockchains.
Expected outcome
A generated wallet or mnemonic in the selected output form.
Guide limitations
- Supported formats differ by chain.
- The documentation marks XRP as Beta.
- The examples contain a mnemonic that should not be reused.
