CLI Wallet

If you have read our validator setup and maintenance documentation, you will have seen that we compile and use the nyxd binary primarily for our validators. This binary can also be used for other tasks, such as creating and using keypairs for wallets, or automated setups that require the signing and broadcasting of transactions.

Using nyxd binary as a CLI wallet

You can use nyxd as a minimal CLI wallet if you want to set up one or more accounts. Compile the binary as per the documentation, stopping after the building your validator step is complete. Then run nyxd keys --help to see how to set up and store keypairs for interacting with the Nyx blockchain.
