# wallet-cli contact

Manage the recipient contact book.

A purely local address book of recipients (name → address), stored in the config directory in plaintext with file mode **0600** (readable/writable only by your user). An address is validated against the family it belongs to — `T…` is TRON, `0x…` is EVM — and both can live in the same book. The family is not part of a contact record — the address already says which chain it is — but it does govern lookup: a name resolves only on networks of the family its address belongs to. Once a contact exists, its name can be used directly wherever a recipient is expected — [`tx send --to`](../tx/send.md) and [`gasfree transfer --to`](../gasfree/transfer.md).
