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>
