PAXI Cheat Sheet and Key Management
This guide provides essential commands for managing wallets, nodes, and validators on the PAXI network. Make sure the environment variables mentioned at the end are correctly configured before using these commands.
1. Key Management
Create a New Wallet
paxid keys add $WALLETKeep the generated seed phrase safe. It is the only way to recover your wallet.
Recover Wallet from Seed Phrase
paxid keys add $WALLET --recoverYou will be prompted to enter your seed phrase.

Check Balance
paxid query bank balances $(paxid keys show $WALLET -a)Send Tokens
paxid tx bank send $(paxid keys show $WALLET -a) <receiver_wallet_address> <amount><denom> --chain-id $PAXI_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 0.0001upaxi --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto -yExample:
paxid tx bank send $(paxid keys show $WALLET -a) PAXI1...yyy 1000000upaxi --chain-id $PAXI_CHAIN_ID --gas-prices 0.0001upaxi --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto -yReplace <amount> with the number of tokens and <denom> with the token denomination (e.g., upaxi).
3. Validator Management
Ensure you have enough upaxi tokens for self-delegation and transaction fees before creating a validator.

Make sure to set these in your ~/.bash_profile or equivalent shell config:
export WALLET="wallet"
export MONIKER="YourMoniker"
export PAXI_ID="PAXI-mainnet-1"
export PAXI_PORT="13"Apply the changes with:
source ~/.bash_profileThis cheat sheet is provided to streamline PAXI validator and wallet management.
