Quai Launches CLI Wallet for Miners and Power Users

The CLI supports sending and signing transactions, as well as estimating gas fees. It also works with both the Quai mainnet and the Orchard testnet, ensuring compatibility across environments.

Built for Mainnet Momentum

The release follows a string of recent updates from Quai. The network activated its mainnet transaction layer earlier this year. It also launched SOAP, a token and infrastructure feature that enables buybacks and merge mining.

The new CLI wallet complements existing options like Pelagus (browser extension), Koala (mobile app), and Tangem (hardware wallet integration). However, it offers a leaner interface targeted at power users, developers, and miners who prefer a terminal-based experience.

Developer-Backed and Open Source

The wallet is built using TypeScript and the quais.js SDK (version 1.0.0-alpha.52). While the SDK allows developers to programmatically interact with Quai wallets, the CLI version wraps that functionality into an accessible package for end users.

The project is fully open-source and released under the MIT license. Quai’s development team has positioned the tool as a foundation for more advanced user workflows while keeping user control and transparency at the center.

Ecosystem Still Expanding

With this launch, Quai continues to fill out its ecosystem. The CLI wallet adds to its growing infrastructure and supports its long-term push to onboard both technical users and mainstream participants. As transaction volume builds on mainnet, the demand for secure and fast wallet access is likely to increase,especially from miners seeking tight control of their funds.
