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
