Walle - CLI Crypto Wallet for EVM Networks

Terminal-first wallet for everyday EVM actions: manage accounts, send native and ERC-20 transfers, and approve WalletConnect v2 requests from your command line.

What is Walle?

Walle is a CLI crypto wallet and terminal EVM wallet for Ethereum-compatible networks.

It focuses on practical wallet workflows in terminal UI:

• wallet creation and account management
• mnemonic/private key import
• native coin and ERC-20 transfer flows
• WalletConnect v2 request handling
• custom RPC chain setup

Security Notes

• Keep your mnemonic phrase and private keys offline and never share them.
• Use dedicated wallets for testing and limit balances in hot wallets.
• Verify recipient addresses, chain IDs, and contract addresses before confirming.
• Wallet encryption reduces risk, but local machine compromise can still expose funds.
• This project is provided as-is, has no formal security audit, and is used at your own risk.
• You use this software entirely at your own risk and are solely responsible for transaction outcomes and private key storage.
• See SECURITY.md for supported versions, vulnerability reporting, and disclaimer details.
