gaiacli keys add <yourAccountName> --ledger

This command will only work while the Ledger is plugged in and unlocked

gaiacli keys add <yourAccountName> --ledger --account 1

gaiacli keys add <yourAccountName> --ledger --account 2

You can add optional --account flag to specify the path (0,1,2, etc). By default, account 0 is generated.

gaiacli keys add <yourKeyName>

The command will generate a 24-words mnemonic and save the private and public keys. You will be prompted to input a passphrase to encrypt the private key

gaiacli keys add <yourKeyName> --recover

You can create more accounts from the same mnemonic using the following command

gaiacli keys add <yourKeyName> --recover --account 1

gaiacli keys list

gaiacli account <YOUR_ADDRESS>

This command will only work when synced with the network

gaiacli version

Add --long for additional build info

gaiacli version --long

gaiacli config

Any currently set configurations will display after this command

gaiacli config output text

gaiacli config node <host>:<port>

If you run your own full-node, use tcp://localhost:26657

gaiacli config trust-node false

Set to true if you run a light-client node, false to host your own blockchain

gaiacli config chain-id cosmoshub-1

Set to cosmoshub-1 for mainnet, otherwise use a testnet

gaiacli query account <yourAccountName>

gaiacli query staking validators

gaiacli query staking validator <validatorAddress>

gaiacli query staking delegations <delegatorAddress>

gaiacli query staking delegation <delegatorAddress> <validatorAddress>

gaiacli query distr rewards <delegatorAddress>

find your validator pubkey by running

gaiad tendermint show-validator

To create your validator, run the following command:

gaiacli tx staking create-validator --amount=1000000uatom --pubkey=$(gaiad tendermint show-validator) --moniker=“choose a moniker” --chain-id=<chain_id> --commission-rate=“0.10” --commission-max-rate=“0.20” --commission-max-change-rate=“0.01” --min-self-delegation=“1” --gas=“auto” --gas-prices=“0.025uatom” --from=<key_name>

gaiacli tx slashing unjail --from=<key_name> --chain-id=<chain_id>

gaiacli tx staking delegate <validatorAddress> <amountToBond> --from <delegatorKeyName> --gas auto --gas-prices <gasPrice>

Here's an example of what an actual transaction should look like to be accepted by the network (bonding 3000 atoms in this example):

gaiacli tx staking delegate cosmosvaloper1ps7dmygt4wm72t8l9kdjetelhggsv8w77mdh33 3000000000uatom --from cosmospool --gas 130000 --gas-prices 0.025uatom --sequence 15 --ledger --chain-id cosmoshub-1

gaiacli tx distr withdraw-all-rewards --from <delegatorKeyName> --gas auto --gas-prices <gasPrice>

ex value for flag: <gasPrice>=0.001stake

gaiacli tx staking unbond <validatorAddress> <amountToUnbond> --from <delegatorKeyName> --gas auto --gas-prices <gasPrice>

You will have to wait 3 weeks before your Atoms are fully unbonded and transferrable

ex value for flags: <validatorAddress>=cosmosvaloper1ps7dmygt4wm72t8l9kdjetelhggsv8w77mdh33, <amountToUnbound>=10000stake, <gasPrice>=0.001stake

confirm transaction goes through

gaiacli query tx <txhash>

gaiacli send --amount=10faucetToken --chain-id=<name_of_chain> --from=<key_name> --to=<destination_address>

gaiacli query gov proposals --status deposit_period

gaiacli query gov proposals --status voting_period

gaiacli query gov proposal <proposalID>

gaiacli query gov proposals

you can add the following json formatting argument

gaiacli query gov proposals -o json --indent

gaiacli query gov params

gaiacli tx gov submit-proposal --title “Test Proposal” --description “My awesome proposal” --type <type> --deposit=10stake --gas auto --gas-prices <gasPrice> --from <delegatorKeyName>

<type>=text/parameter_change/software_upgrade ex value for flag: <gasPrice>=0.0001stake

gaiacli tx gov deposit <proposalID> <deposit> --gas auto --gas-prices <gasPrice> --from <delegatorKeyName>

Retrieve proposalID from $gaiacli query gov proposals --status deposit_period ex value for parameter: <deposit>=1stake

gaiacli tx gov vote <proposalID> <option> --gas auto --gas-prices <gasPrice> --from <delegatorKeyName>

Retrieve proposalID from $gaiacli query gov proposals --status voting_period <option>=yes/no/no_with_veto/abstain
