Create payment account

Follow the next steps to create a new payment account:

Step 1: create new payment key

Create the next directories in the working directory:

mkdir addresses
mkdir transactions

cardano-cli shelley address key-gen \
    --verification-key-file addresses/payment1.vkey \
    --signing-key-file addresses/payment1.skey

Step 2: create payment address for this key

cardano-cli shelley address build \
    --payment-verification-key-file addresses/payment1.vkey \
    --out-file addresses/payment1.addr \
    --testnet-magic 42

Step 3: check funds in the payment address Set environment variable CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH to the socket-path specified in the node configuration. For example:

export CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH=relay/db/node.socket

Check funds with the next command

cardano-cli shelley query utxo \
    --address $(cat addresses/payment1.addr) \
    --testnet-magic 42

Example result:

                           TxHash                                 TxIx        Lovelace
