## Wallet
### Create a new wallet
```bash
wallet create
```
> Add the `--no-password` flag to skip the optional encryption step.
> **Wallet Security**
>
> Encrypted wallets provide an additional layer of security, requiring a password to read the private key and perform
> transactions. However, ensure you remember your password; losing it may result in the inability to access your encrypted
> wallet.
Example:
```bash
$ wallet create
Enter password (leave empty for none):
Repeat password:
Wallet address: 0xaf676aC7C821977506AC9DcE28bFe83fb06938d8
Stored wallet in: "/Users/macuser/Library/Application Support/autonomi/client/wallets/0xaf676aC7C821977506AC9DcE28bFe83fb06938d8.encrypted"
```
