A developer created 'stcli', a simple, single-file Python REPL command-line wallet for Stellar-based assets like ETH, BTC, and EURT. It emphasizes code transparency, ease of review, and support for testing Stellar remittance functions including federation and compliance. The wallet addresses gaps in existing options by being Linux CLI-friendly and fully auditable.
On July 18, 2018, a developer announced 'stcli', a new command-line wallet for Stellar blockchain assets such as wrapped ETH, BTC, or EURT, due to dissatisfaction with existing wallets listed on Stellar.org. Built as a tiny, single-file Python REPL under 600 lines, it prioritizes code readability for quick security audits and transparency in all operations. Designed for Linux users who prefer CLI interfaces, it stands out as Python-based unlike JavaScript or Go alternatives. Key features include full support for basic Stellar functions per a community spreadsheet, plus advanced testing of remittance capabilities like federation, compliance, deposits, and withdrawals. The author previously used IPython for similar tasks and built this over a Saturday for both testing and live use.
