XOS Cheat Sheet and Key Management ​

This guide provides essential commands for managing wallets, nodes, and validators on the XOS 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
xosd keys add $WALLET

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

Recover Wallet from Seed Phrase ​

bash
xosd keys add $WALLET --recover

List Wallets ​

bash
xosd keys list

Show Wallet Details ​

bash
xosd keys show $WALLET

Delete Wallet ​

bash
xosd keys delete $WALLET

2. Wallet Operations ​

Check Balance ​

bash
xosd q bank balances $(xosd keys show $WALLET -a)

Send Tokens ​

bash
xosd tx bank send $(xosd keys show $WALLET -a) <receiver_wallet_address> <amount><denom> --chain-id $XOS_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 80000000000axos --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto -y

Example:

bash
xosd tx bank send $(xosd keys show $WALLET -a) xos1...zzz 1000000000000000000axos --chain-id $XOS_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 80000000000axos --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto -y

3. Validator Management ​

Create Validator ​

Configuration:

Parameter Explanation:
ParameterDetails
--amountTokens self-delegated to the validator. 1000000000000000000axos = 1 XOS
--fromWallet used for the transaction.
--commission-rateInitial commission rate.
--commission-max-rateMaximum allowed commission rate.
--commission-max-change-rateMax daily commission change.
--min-self-delegationMinimum tokens for self-delegation.
--pubkeyValidator's public key.
--monikerValidator nickname.
--identityKeybase ID for identity verification.
--websiteValidator's website URL.
--detailsValidator description.
--security-contactEmail for security-related contact.

Edit Validator ​

bash
xosd tx staking edit-validator
--moniker "$MONIKER" \
--identity "<new_keybase_id>" \
--website "<new_website>" \
--security-contact "<new_contact_email>" \
--details "<new_description>" \
--commission-rate "0.07" \
--chain-id $XOSD_CHAIN_ID \
--gas-prices 80000000000axos \
--gas-adjustment 1.5 \
--gas auto \
--from $WALLET \
-y

Delegate Tokens ​

bash
xosd tx staking delegate <validator_address> <amount>axos --chain-id $XOSD_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 80000000000axos --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto --from $WALLET -y

Withdraw Rewards (Delegator) ​

bash
xosd tx distribution withdraw-rewards <validator_address> --chain-id $XOSD_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 80000000000axos --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto --from $WALLET -y

Withdraw Rewards (Validator Commission) ​

bash
xosd tx distribution withdraw-rewards <validator_address> --commission --chain-id $XOSD_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 80000000000axos --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto --from $WALLET -y

Unbond Tokens ​

bash
xosd tx staking unbond <validator_address> <amount>axos --chain-id $XOSD_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 80000000000axos --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto --from $WALLET -y

Redelegate Tokens ​

bash
xosd tx staking redelegate <source_validator_address> <destination_validator_address> <amount>axos --chain-id $XOSD_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 80000000000axos --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto --from $WALLET -y

4. Node Status & Info ​

Check Sync Status ​

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

Check Peer Info ​

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

Show Node ID ​

bash
xosd tendermint show-node-id

Restart Node ​

bash
sudo systemctl restart xosd

View Node Logs ​

bash
sudo journalctl -u xosd -fo cat

5. Governance ​

List Proposals ​

bash
xosd query gov proposals

View Proposal Details ​

bash
xosd query gov proposal <proposal_id>

Vote on Proposal ​

bash
xosd tx gov vote <proposal_id> <yes|no|no_with_veto|abstain> --chain-id $XOS_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 80000000000axos --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 XOSD_CHAIN_ID="xos-testnet-1"
export XOSD_PORT="12"

Apply the changes with:

bash
source ~/.bash_profile
