Configuration Options

The config plugin allows you to control global Hiero CLI behavior. Configuration values are typically stored in the CLI config file and affect logging, cryptographic support, and key management defaults.
​
ed25519_support_enabled
boolean
default:"false"
required
Enables support for Ed25519 keys within the Hiero CLI. When enabled, the CLI can:
  • Generate Ed25519 keys
  • Use Ed25519 keys for signing transactions
  • Interact with accounts or services that rely on Ed25519 cryptography
When to enable:
  • You are working with Hedera accounts or tooling that explicitly require Ed25519 keys
  • You are testing compatibility with different key types
​
log_level
string
default:"silent"
required
Controls the verbosity of CLI output.
Allowed values:

  • warn: Errors and warnings
  • info: General informational messages
  • debug: Verbose output for troubleshooting
​
default_key_manager
string
default:"local_encrypted"
required
Defines which key manager the CLI uses by default when creating or managing keys. Keep the default local_encrypted setting unless you are working in a controlled test environment.
  • local: Keys are stored locally in plaintext (not recommended for production).
  • local_encrypted: Keys are stored locally and encrypted (recommended).
