Configuration
# Environment variables (one required)
export KASPA_PRIVATE_KEY="64-character-hex-string"
# OR
export KASPA_MNEMONIC="your twelve or twenty four word seed phrase"
# Optional
export KASPA_NETWORK="mainnet" # mainnet (default), testnet-10

export KASPA_RPC_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MS="30000" # Connection timeout (default: 15000)
Core Functions
Check Balance
./kaswallet.sh balance # Your wallet balance
./kaswallet.sh balance kaspa:qrc8y... # Any address balance
Output:
{"address": "kaspa:q...", "balance": "1.5", "sompi": "150000000", "network": "mainnet"}
Send KAS
./kaswallet.sh send <address> <amount> # Send specific amount
./kaswallet.sh send <address> max # Send entire balance
./kaswallet.sh send <address> <amount> priority # Priority fee tier
Output (success):
{"status": "sent", "txid": "abc123...", "from": "kaspa:q...", "to": "kaspa:q...", "amount": "0.5", "fee": "0.0002"}
Output (error):
{"error": "Storage mass exceeds maximum", "errorCode": "STORAGE_MASS_EXCEEDED", "hint": "...", "action": "consolidate_utxos"}
Network Info
./kaswallet.sh info
Output:
{"network": "mainnet", "url": "wss://...", "blocks": 12345678, "synced": true, "version": "1.0.0"}
Fee Estimates
./kaswallet.sh fees
Output:
{"network": "mainnet", "low": {"feerate": 1.0, "estimatedSeconds": 60}, "economic": {...}, "priority": {...}}
Generate New Wallet
./kaswallet.sh generate-mnemonic
Output:
{"mnemonic": "word1 word2 word3 ... word24"}
Payment URI
./kaswallet.sh uri # Your address
./kaswallet.sh uri kaspa:q... 1.5 "payment" # With amount and message
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
STORAGE_MASS_EXCEEDED |
Amount too small for current UTXOs | Send max to yourself first to consolidate |
NO_UTXOS |
No spendable outputs | Wait for confirmations or fund wallet |
INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS |
Balance too low | Check balance, reduce amount |
RPC_TIMEOUT |
Network slow | Retry or increase timeout |
NO_CREDENTIALS |
Missing wallet key | Set KASPA_PRIVATE_KEY or KASPA_MNEMONIC |
SDK_NOT_INSTALLED |
Kaspa SDK missing | Run python3 install.py |

Common Workflows
Consolidate UTXOs (Fix Storage Mass Error)
When sending fails with STORAGE_MASS_EXCEEDED:
# 1. Get your address
./kaswallet.sh balance
# Returns: {"address": "kaspa:qYOUR_ADDRESS...", ...}
# 2. Send max to yourself (consolidates UTXOs)
./kaswallet.sh send kaspa:qYOUR_ADDRESS... max
# 3. Now send the original amount (will work)
./kaswallet.sh send kaspa:qRECIPIENT... 0.5
Check Transaction Status
After sending, use the txid to verify on a block explorer:
- Mainnet:
https://explorer.kaspa.org/txs/{txid} - Testnet:
https://explorer-tn10.kaspa.org/txs/{txid}
Switch Networks
# Testnet
export KASPA_NETWORK="testnet-10"
./kaswallet.sh info
# Back to mainnet
export KASPA_NETWORK="mainnet"
./kaswallet.sh info
Units
- KAS: Human-readable unit (e.g., 1.5 KAS)
- sompi: Smallest unit, 1 KAS = 100,000,000 sompi
All command inputs accept KAS. Outputs include both KAS and sompi where relevant.
Security Notes
- Private keys: Never expose in logs or error messages
- Mnemonics: Passed via environment variables only
- No disk storage: Wallet does not store credentials
- Fresh connections: Each command establishes new RPC connection
- Address format: Validate Kaspa addresses (
kaspa:q...format)
Comparison with Traditional Wallets
| Feature | Traditional Wallet | Kaspa Wallet CLI |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | GUI install | python3 install.py |
| Interface | Desktop app | CLI + JSON output |
| Automation | Limited | Full (JSON parsing) |
| Custody | Varies | Self-custody |
| Agent-friendly | No | Yes |
