I want to create a wallet and use it but I don’t want to run a node locally. I recently found Blockfrost but, I don’t think it has the option to create a wallet. What can I do?

You can always use Yoroi, which is just a browser extension that connects to trusted remote nodes to interface with the chain.

Additionally, if you want to create a wallet in a completely cold, network-isolated fashion, you can use cardano-cli (and/or cardano-wallet) on an airgapped machine.

Section 10 of Coincashew's SPO guide has a neat bash script for creating mnemonic wallets in an airgapped environment. Perhaps it may be of help in your python script!

  • I'm writing a python script so I don't think a browser extension helps me a lot.

  • Thanks, That was helpful! But Isn't there any public node like Blockforest to give that service?

    Wallet/Key generation is an entirely offline process. Even if there was a public entity that offers such a service, it kind of defeats the purpose of generating keys in a secure/cold fashion.
