Create a Wallet

Use the current Core-backed wallet flow today.

The modern wallet UI is still planned, but you do not need to wait for it to create a wallet, generate a receive address, or prepare a payout address for mining.

Step by Step

How to create and use a wallet right now.

This is the current practical flow until the wallet product is built.

Install the current candidate

Start with the current CPH Core release candidate on Windows or Linux so your wallet sits on top of the same network surface described on this site.

Start the node first

The current wallet flow is node-backed. Start CPH Core, let it load fully, and confirm the local RPC is reachable before you create a wallet.

Create a wallet

Use the current CLI or RPC flow to create a wallet. The modern wallet UI is planned next, but the network already supports wallet creation through Core tools.

Generate a receive address

Once the wallet exists, create a fresh receive address and use it for payouts, transfers, and later miner configuration.

Typical Commands

Basic wallet actions with the current node tools.

Replace mywallet with the wallet name you want to use.

Create wallet

.\cli.cmd createwallet mywallet

Get a receive address

.\cli.cmd -rpcwallet=mywallet getnewaddress

Check balances

.\cli.cmd -rpcwallet=mywallet getbalances
