This repository shows an example of how to implement a simple crypto currency wallet using Rust. This example is for educational purposes.

On my blog I explain the whole process of building this project: Build a crypto wallet using Rust: steps how to.

The wallet can generate a secret key, public key and public address. Furthermore it shows the balance for the wallet's address. An example of sending Eth from the wallet to a different address is also shown.

In order to run the project a .env file is required containing an endpoint for connecting to an Ethereum network using WebSockets. For example:

INFURA_RINKEBY_WS=wss://rinkeby.infura.io/ws/v3/08xxxxxxxxx

The INFURA_RINKEBY value is an endpoint address from infura.io, however it can be any valid address to an Ethereum network WebSocket endpoint.

Infura.io is an easy way to gain access to an Ethereum node endpoint.
