BitBadges Mainnet Cheat Sheet and Key Management
This guide provides essential commands for managing wallets, nodes, and validators on the BitBadges Mainnet network. Make sure the environment variables mentioned at the end are correctly configured before using these commands.
1. Key Management
Create a New Wallet
⚠️ Important: Keep the generated seed phrase safe. It is the only way to recover your wallet.
bitbadgeschaind keys add $WALLET Recover Wallet from Seed Phrase
bitbadgeschaind keys add $WALLET --recover List Wallets
bitbadgeschaind keys list Show Wallet Details
bitbadgeschaind keys show $WALLET Delete Wallet
bitbadgeschaind keys delete $WALLET 2. Wallet Operations
Check Balance
bitbadgeschaind query bank balances $(bitbadgeschaind keys show $WALLET -a) Send Tokens
bitbadgeschaind tx bank send $WALLET <recipient_address> <amount>ubadge --chain-id bitbadges-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ubadge 3. Validator Management
💡 Note: Ensure you have enough tokens for self-delegation and transaction fees before creating a validator.
Create Validator
bitbadgeschaind tx staking create-validator \\
--amount 1000000ubadge \\
--from $WALLET \\
--commission-rate 0.1 \\
--commission-max-rate 0.2 \\
--commission-max-change-rate 0.01 \\
--min-self-delegation 1 \\
--pubkey $(bitbadgeschaind tendermint show-validator) \\
--moniker "$MONIKER" \\
--identity "" \\
--website "" \\
--details "Your validator description" \\
--security-contact "your@email.com" \\
--chain-id bitbadges-1 \\
--gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 \\
--fees 500ubadge Edit Validator
bitbadgeschaind tx staking edit-validator \\
--new-moniker "$MONIKER" \\
--identity "" \\
--website "" \\
--details "Your validator description" \\
--chain-id bitbadges-1 \\
--from $WALLET \\
--gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 \\
--fees 500ubadge Delegate Tokens
bitbadgeschaind tx staking delegate $(bitbadgeschaind keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) 1000000ubadge --from $WALLET --chain-id bitbadges-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ubadge Withdraw Rewards (Delegator)
bitbadgeschaind tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(bitbadgeschaind keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) --from $WALLET --chain-id bitbadges-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ubadge Withdraw Rewards (Validator Commission)
bitbadgeschaind tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(bitbadgeschaind keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) --commission --from $WALLET --chain-id bitbadges-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ubadge Unbond Tokens
bitbadgeschaind tx staking unbond $(bitbadgeschaind keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) 1000000ubadge --from $WALLET --chain-id bitbadges-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ubadge Redelegate Tokens
bitbadgeschaind tx staking redelegate $(bitbadgeschaind keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) <destination_validator_address> 1000000ubadge --from $WALLET --chain-id bitbadges-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ubadge 4. Node Status & Info
Check Sync Status
bitbadgeschaind status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo Check Peer Info
curl -s localhost:26657/net_info | jq -r '.result.peers[] | "\\(.node_info.id)@\\(.remote_ip):\\(.node_info.listen_addr | split(":")[2])"' Show Node ID
bitbadgeschaind tendermint show-node-id Restart Node
sudo systemctl restart bitbadgeschaind View Node Logs
sudo journalctl -u bitbadgeschaind -f -o cat 5. Governance
List Proposals
bitbadgeschaind query gov proposals View Proposal Details
bitbadgeschaind query gov proposal <proposal_id> Vote on Proposal
bitbadgeschaind tx gov vote <proposal_id> yes --from $WALLET --chain-id bitbadges-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ubadge 6. Environment Variables
💡 Tip: Make sure to set these in your
~/.bash_profile or equivalent shell config.
echo "export WALLET=\"wallet\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export MONIKER=\"your-moniker\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export CHAIN_ID=\"bitbadges-1\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile This cheat sheet is provided to streamline BitBadges Mainnet validator and wallet management. All commands use environment variables for easier management.
