About

Webchain CLI(Command Line Interface) is a tool to access Webchain Network from the command line. It connects to an external node ("upstream") and allows a user or application to read information from the blockchain and to send new transactions. In the latter case it provides functionality to sign transactions by a provided Private Key. The tool integrates Webchain Vault with the intention of generation, import, and/or storing of Webchain Private Keys.
