heiðr

EVM blockchain CLI tool

heidr is a command-line interface for inspecting and interacting with EVM blockchains.

---

Nought was there but byte and hex,
ne'er a prompt nor token gleamed,
till heidr's runes were cast by hand.
Nine commands I saw, and nine the worlds,
each chain a branch on the cosmic tree,
and each flag a beacon to realms unseen.
