Using Penumbra from the command line

This section describes how to use pcli, the command line client for Penumbra:

• Installation describes how to compile and run pcli.
• Generating a Wallet describes how to generate a wallet.
• Viewing Balances describes how to view balances.
• Sending Transactions describes how to send funds.

Penumbra is a private blockchain, so the public chain state does not reveal any private user data. By default, pcli includes a view service that synchronizes with the chain and scans with a viewing key.

Please submit any feedback and bug reports

Thank you for helping us test the Penumbra network! If you have any feedback, please let us know in the #general channel on our Discord (opens in a new tab). We would love to know about bugs, crashes, confusing error messages, or any of the many other things that inevitably won't quite work yet. Have fun! :)
