Test wallets

ethui offers several wallet types, each with its own target use cases:

Production-grade wallets

These are recommended for interacting with live networks, and enforce proper security measures

  • HD Wallet, the one you may be most familiar with if you've used MetaMask, Rabby, or other popular wallets
  • Keystore, a JSON format that encodes a single private key securely in a file. A password is required to decrypt the private key
  • Private key, a single password-protected private key
  • Ledger, a hardware wallet.

Testing wallets

These are suitable only for testing purposes. They work in live networks as well, but should not be used to hold real funds.
