Empeiria Cheat Sheet and Key Management

This guide provides essential commands for managing wallets, nodes, and validators on the Empeiria network. Make sure the environment variables mentioned at the end are correctly configured before using these commands.

1. Key Management

Create a New Wallet

bash
emped keys add $WALLET

Keep the generated seed phrase safe. It is the only way to recover your wallet.

Recover Wallet from Seed Phrase

bash
emped keys add $WALLET --recover

You will be prompted to enter your seed phrase.

List Wallets

bash
emped keys list

Show Wallet Details

bash
emped keys show $WALLET

Delete Wallet

bash
emped keys delete $WALLET

2. Wallet Operations

Check Balance

bash
emped query bank balances $(emped keys show $WALLET -a)

Send Tokens

bash
emped tx bank send $(emped keys show $WALLET -a) <receiver_wallet_address> <amount><denom> --chain-id $EMPED_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 0.0001uempe --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto -y

Example:

bash
emped tx bank send $(emped keys show $WALLET -a) empe1...yyy 1000000uempe --chain-id $EMPED_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 0.0001uempe --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto -y

Replace <amount> with the number of tokens and <denom> with the token denomination (e.g., uempe).

3. Validator Management

Ensure you have enough uempe tokens for self-delegation and transaction fees before creating a validator.

--gas-adjustment 1.5 \
--gas auto \
--from $WALLET \
-y

Withdraw Rewards (Validator Commission)

bash

--gas-adjustment 1.5 \
--gas auto \
--from $WALLET \
-y

Unbond Tokens

bash
emped tx staking unbond $(emped keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) <amount>uempe \
--chain-id $EMPED_CHAIN_ID \
--gas-prices 0.0001uempe \
--gas-adjustment 1.5 \
--gas auto \

-y

Redelegate Tokens

bash
emped tx staking redelegate $(emped keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) <destination_validator_address> <amount>uempe \
--chain-id $EMPED_CHAIN_ID \
--gas-prices 0.0001uempe \
--gas-adjustment 1.5 \
--gas auto \
--from $WALLET \
-y

4. Node Status & Info

Check Sync Status

bash
emped status 2>&1 | jq .result.sync_info

Check Peer Info

bash
emped status 2>&1 | jq .result.sync_info.catching_up
emped status 2>&1 | jq .result.node_info.listen_addr

Show Node ID

bash
emped tendermint show-node-id

Restart Node

bash
sudo systemctl restart emped

View Node Logs

bash
sudo journalctl -u emped -fo cat

5. Governance

List Proposals

bash
emped query gov proposals

View Proposal Details

bash
emped query gov proposal <proposal_id>

Vote on Proposal

bash
emped tx gov vote <proposal_id> <yes|no|no_with_veto|abstain> \
--chain-id $EMPED_CHAIN_ID \
--gas-prices 0.0001uempe \
--gas-adjustment 1.5 \
--gas auto \
--from $WALLET \
-y

6. Environment Variables

Make sure to set these in your ~/.bash_profile or equivalent shell config:

bash
export WALLET="wallet"
export MONIKER="YourMoniker"
export EMPED_CHAIN_ID="empe-testnet-2"
export EMPED_PORT="18"

Apply the changes with:

bash
source ~/.bash_profile
