  • Supported Networks: Ethereum, Optimism, Bsc, Polygon, Sonic, Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Tron, Ethereum-Classic, Ton, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Solana, Sui, Aptos, Dogecoin, Ripple, Cardano, Bch, Polkadot
  • Multiple Wallet Derivation Paths: Different wallets use different derivation paths to get their addresses. This tool supports quite a few of them.

How to run

This is the recommended way for most users.

Requirements

  • Node.js (v22)

Run

npx @extra-wallet/balance-recovery

This will:

  • download the CLI on demand,
  • start the interactive terminal UI

Option 2: Run locally from the repository (development)

Use this if you want to:

  • inspect the code,
  • modify the CLI,
  • contribute or debug.

Requirements

  • Node.js (v22)
  • pnpm

1. Install dependencies

From the repository root:

pnpm install

2. Build shared code

cd shared/sdk
pnpm build

3. Return to the root of the repository

cd ../..

4. Build the CLI

cd packages/balance-recovery-cli
pnpm build

5. Run locally

npx balance-recovery

How to use

The CLI can be run in two modes: interactive and non-interactive

To run the program in interactive mode you just have to follow the instructions of the previous step. In this mode you will be asked for needed inputs step by step.

To run the program in non-interactive mode you have to also specify arguments using flags like this:

npx balance-recovery --mnemonic="..." --network="arbitrum" --extrawallet-key="..."

To get information about every argument, you can use help command:

npx balance-recovery help

Arguments

FlagRequiredDescriptionAliases
mnemonictrueMnemonic from which you want to derive addressesm
extrawallet-keytrueYour EXTRA WALLET API keye, extrawallet, key
networktrueNetwork you want to get addresses of. Can specify multiple of themnet, n
walletfalseWallet you use with the provided mnemonic. Defaults to EXTRA WALLET derivation path(default path of the network)
fromfalseThe index from which to start deriving addresses. Defaults to 0f
tofalseThe index at which to end deriving addresses(excluding). Defaults to 10t
outputfalseOutput file to put all the derived addresses to. If no output specified, the result will be printed to stdouto

Output

Depending on if you specified output file, the result will be either put in the file or printed to the terminal.

Result will be formatted as a table with the following columns:

  • Network to which the address belongs to;
  • Private Key that corresponds to the public address;
  • Address that holds the balance;
  • Balance(USD) total balance of native currency and other tokens like USDC, Dai etc. in USD.
About Cardano Private Keys

Since Cardano has two types of private keys, they are written to the same column in the following format: <reward_private_key> / <enterprice_private_key>

The result will be sorted from the biggest balance to the smallest.

About Security

Neither your mnemonic nor your private keys are sent anywhere. They are only used to derive the addresses to check for balance.
