KEW (short for Key-Enabled Wallet) is an open-source command-line wallet and key management tool built for modern blockchain and Web3 workflows, designed to give developers and active users a secure and flexible way to manage cryptographic keys, accounts, and signing operations from the terminal. It focuses on simplicity, reproducibility, and composability, letting users manage multiple wallets, derive keys from mnemonics, and perform signing for a variety of chain-specific transaction formats without needing a full node or heavy RPC setup. KEW supports hierarchical deterministic (HD) key derivation that complies with widely used standards, making it easy to generate multiple accounts from a single seed phrase while keeping them organized and reproducible. The wallet’s CLI ensures privacy and control by storing keys locally in encrypted form and avoiding unnecessary network dependencies during sensitive operations like signing or account derivation.
