Importing an Account

Examples

General Example

To import an account into the file holding the accounts info (~/.starknet_accounts/starknet_open_zeppelin_accounts.json by default), use the account import command.

$ sncast \
    account import \
	--network sepolia \
    --name account_123 \
    --address 0x1 \
    --private-key 0x2 \
    --type oz

📝 Note The --name can be omitted as this is optional. A default name will be generated for the account.

Passing Private Key in an Interactive
