Epix Cheat Sheet and Key Management

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

1. Key Management

Create a New Wallet

epixd keys add $WALLET

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

Recover Wallet from Seed Phrase

epixd keys add $WALLET --recover

You will be prompted to enter your seed phrase.

List Wallets

epixd keys list

Show Wallet Details

epixd keys show $WALLET

Delete Wallet

epixd keys delete $WALLET

2. Wallet Operations

Check Balance

epixd query bank balances $(epixd keys show $WALLET -a)

Send Tokens

epixd tx bank send $(epixd keys show $WALLET -a) <receiver_wallet_address> <amount><denom> --chain-id $EPIX_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 20000000000aepix --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto -y

Example:

epixd tx bank send $(epixd keys show $WALLET -a) epix1...yyy 1000000aepix --chain-id $EPIX_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 20000000000aepix --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto -y

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

3. Validator Management

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

6. Environment Variables

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

export WALLET="wallet"
export MONIKER="YourMoniker"
export EPIX_CHAIN_ID="epix_1916-1"
export EPIX_PORT="14"

Apply the changes with:

source ~/.bash_profile
