Empeiria Testnet Cheat Sheet and Key Management

This guide provides essential commands for managing wallets, nodes, and validators on the Empeiria Testnet 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.

emped keys add $WALLET

Recover Wallet from Seed Phrase

emped keys add $WALLET --recover

List Wallets

emped keys list

Show Wallet Details

emped keys show $WALLET

Delete Wallet

emped keys delete $WALLET

2. Wallet Operations

Check Balance

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

Send Tokens

emped tx bank send $WALLET <recipient_address> <amount>uempe --chain-id empe-testnet-2 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uempe

3. Validator Management

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

Create Validator

emped tx staking create-validator \\
  --amount 1000000uempe \\
  --from $WALLET \\
  --commission-rate 0.1 \\
  --commission-max-rate 0.2 \\
  --commission-max-change-rate 0.01 \\
  --min-self-delegation 1 \\
  --pubkey $(emped tendermint show-validator) \\
  --moniker "$MONIKER" \\
  --identity "" \\
  --website "" \\
  --details "Your validator description" \\
  --security-contact "your@email.com" \\
  --chain-id empe-testnet-2 \\
  --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 \\
  --fees 500uempe

Edit Validator

emped tx staking edit-validator \\
  --new-moniker "$MONIKER" \\
  --identity "" \\
  --website "" \\
  --details "Your validator description" \\
  --chain-id empe-testnet-2 \\
  --from $WALLET \\
  --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 \\
  --fees 500uempe

Delegate Tokens

emped tx staking delegate $(emped keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) 1000000uempe --from $WALLET --chain-id empe-testnet-2 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uempe

Withdraw Rewards (Delegator)

emped tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(emped keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) --from $WALLET --chain-id empe-testnet-2 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uempe

Withdraw Rewards (Validator Commission)

emped tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(emped keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) --commission --from $WALLET --chain-id empe-testnet-2 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uempe

Unbond Tokens

emped tx staking unbond $(emped keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) 1000000uempe --from $WALLET --chain-id empe-testnet-2 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uempe

Redelegate Tokens

emped tx staking redelegate $(emped keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) <destination_validator_address> 1000000uempe --from $WALLET --chain-id empe-testnet-2 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uempe

4. Node Status & Info

Check Sync Status

emped 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

emped tendermint show-node-id

Restart Node

sudo systemctl restart emped

View Node Logs

sudo journalctl -u emped -f -o cat

5. Governance

List Proposals

emped query gov proposals

View Proposal Details

emped query gov proposal <proposal_id>

Vote on Proposal

emped tx gov vote <proposal_id> yes --from $WALLET --chain-id empe-testnet-2 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uempe

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=\"empe-testnet-2\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

This cheat sheet is provided to streamline Empeiria Testnet validator and wallet management. All commands use environment variables for easier management.
