FAQ Section

What makes this different from other Ethereum CLI tools?

This client prioritizes simplicity with clean command syntax while maintaining full functionality for common operations. The Fire-based interface makes it more approachable than raw Web3.py implementations.

How secure are wallet operations?

👉 All cryptographic operations occur locally - private keys and mnemonics never leave your machine. The tool follows best practices for key handling.

Can I use this with private Ethereum networks?

Yes! The network configuration tool supports custom RPC endpoints. Simply specify your node URL when changing networks.

What ERC20 token features are supported?

Beyond basic transfers, you can track token events and view balances. The system auto-detects standard token interfaces for seamless interaction.

Is there transaction history tracking?

While the client doesn't store historical data, you can monitor real-time events. For historical analysis, consider exporting data to external tools.

Implementation Notes

The tool leverages Python's ecosystem for maximum compatibility:

Web3.py for blockchain interactions
Fire for CLI generation
Standard cryptography libraries for secure key management
