# Introduction: Start Here

Terminal Wallet is an open source Ethereum/EVM cryptocurrency wallet with [RAILGUN](https://railgun.org) privacy built in. Using a command line interface (CLI), Terminal Wallet enables shielding, sending, swapping, and unshielding ERC-20 assets as well as the Native Gas token. 

**Navigation in Terminal Wallet is primarily performed through keyboard actions such as the arrow keys and the Enter key.**

Terminal Wallet contains 2 blockchain addresses for each wallet:

* **0x address** - EVM public address where activity and balances are visible. Identical to how addresses function in other wallets.
* **0zk address** - RAILGUN private address where activity and balances are hidden. Funds must be shielded to the private address to be used privately.
