Create a Wallet

Before using Nara Chain, you need to create a wallet. Nara uses the same wallet standard as Solana (BIP39 mnemonic + Ed25519 key derivation), so you can also import an existing Solana wallet.

Create a New Wallet​

npx naracli wallet create

This generates a 12-word mnemonic phrase — make sure to back it up securely. The keypair file is saved to ~/.config/nara/id.json by default.

Important

Keep your mnemonic phrase safe! It is the only way to recover your wallet. If lost, your assets cannot be retrieved.

Import an Existing Wallet​

Import via Mnemonic​

npx naracli wallet import -m "your twelve word mnemonic phrase here ..."

Import via Private Key​

Supports Base58 or JSON array format:

npx naracli wallet import -k "your-base58-private-key"

View Wallet Address​

npx naracli address

Check Balance​

npx naracli balance

Check balance of a specific address:

npx naracli balance <address>
