createwallet "wallet_name" ( disable_private_keys blank "passphrase" avoid_reuse descriptors load_on_startup external_signer )
Creates and loads a new wallet.
Arguments:
1. wallet_name (string, required) The name for the new wallet. If this is a path, the wallet will be created at the path location.
2. disable_private_keys (boolean, optional, default=false) Disable the possibility of private keys (only watchonlys are possible in this mode).
3. blank (boolean, optional, default=false) Create a blank wallet. A blank wallet has no keys or HD seed. One can be set using sethdseed.
4. passphrase (string, optional) Encrypt the wallet with this passphrase.
5. avoid_reuse (boolean, optional, default=false) Keep track of coin reuse, and treat dirty and clean coins differently with privacy considerations in mind.
6. descriptors (boolean, optional, default=true) Create a native descriptor wallet. The wallet will use descriptors internally to handle address creation. Setting to "false" will create a legacy wallet; however, the legacy wallet type is being deprecated and support for creating and opening legacy wallets will be removed in the future.
7. load_on_startup (boolean, optional) Save wallet name to persistent settings and load on startup. True to add wallet to startup list, false to remove, null to leave unchanged.
8. external_signer (boolean, optional, default=false) Use an external signer such as a hardware wallet. Requires -signer to be configured. Wallet creation will fail if keys cannot be fetched. Requires disable_private_keys and descriptors set to true.
Result:
{ (json object)
"name" : "str", (string) The wallet name if created successfully. If the wallet was created using a full path, the wallet_name will be the full path.
"warning" : "str", (string, optional) Warning messages, if any, related to creating the wallet. Multiple messages will be delimited by newlines. (DEPRECATED, returned only if config option -deprecatedrpc=walletwarningfield is passed.)
"warnings" : [ (json array, optional) Warning messages, if any, related to creating the wallet.
