Create Private/Public key pairs

Wallets are repositories of public-private key pairs. Private keys are needed to sign operations performed on the blockchain.

Create Default Wallet

# The first step is to create a wallet. Use cleos wallet create to create a new "default" wallet using the option --to-console for simplicity.
cleos wallet create --file walletpassword.txt

Open the Wallet

Wallets are closed by default. To begin, run the following:

cleos wallet open

Unlock it

Unlock the wallet that was created in the previous point.

cleos wallet unlock

Create Key

Create a new account key and make sure to keep it safe.

cleos create key --to-console

Import key

Import the key generated in last step

cleos wallet import PRIVATE-KEY
