FAQPage Schema
How do I generate Cardano wallet keys and addresses using the command line?

Cardano UTxO queries check the balance and available unspent transaction outputs for a given address. This skill provides the exact era-prefixed command syntax needed to query UTxOs across both mainnet and testnet environments.

Can I run cardano-cli commands if the binary is not installed on my local machine?

Yes, you can execute cardano-cli commands without a local installation by using the built-in Docker fallback mechanism. This feature automatically handles command execution when the required binary is missing from your system.

What is the difference between base and enterprise addresses when building a Cardano wallet?

Base and enterprise addresses are constructed from generated payment and stake key pairs. This skill provides templates for building both address types, ensuring compatibility with different Cardano network environments and specific wallet requirements.

Do I need a local Cardano node to set up a wallet on the preprod testnet?

You do not need a local Cardano node to set up a preprod wallet if you use the provided Docker fallback. The skill supplies the exact commands to generate keys, build addresses, and query them without requiring a local binary installation.
