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

⚠️ Important: Keep the generated seed phrase safe. It is the only way to recover your wallet.
Epixd keys add $WALLET

Recover Wallet from Seed Phrase

Epixd keys add $WALLET --recover

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 $WALLET <recipient_address> <amount>aepix --chain-id epix_1916-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500aepix

3. Validator Management

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

Create Validator

Epixd tx staking create-validator \\
  --amount 1000000aepix \\
  --from $WALLET \\
  --commission-rate 0.1 \\
  --commission-max-rate 0.2 \\
  --commission-max-change-rate 0.01 \\
  --min-self-delegation 1 \\
  --pubkey $(Epixd tendermint show-validator) \\
  --moniker "$MONIKER" \\
  --identity "" \\
  --website "" \\
  --details "Your validator description" \\
  --security-contact "your@email.com" \\
  --chain-id epix_1916-1 \\
  --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 \\
  --fees 500aepix

Edit Validator

Epixd tx staking edit-validator \\
  --new-moniker "$MONIKER" \\
  --identity "" \\
  --website "" \\
  --details "Your validator description" \\
  --chain-id epix_1916-1 \\
  --from $WALLET \\
  --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 \\
  --fees 500aepix

Delegate Tokens

Epixd tx staking delegate $(Epixd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) 1000000aepix --from $WALLET --chain-id epix_1916-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500aepix

Withdraw Rewards (Delegator)

Epixd tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(Epixd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) --from $WALLET --chain-id epix_1916-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500aepix

Withdraw Rewards (Validator Commission)

Epixd tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(Epixd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) --commission --from $WALLET --chain-id epix_1916-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500aepix

Unbond Tokens

Epixd tx staking unbond $(Epixd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) 1000000aepix --from $WALLET --chain-id epix_1916-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500aepix

Redelegate Tokens

Epixd tx staking redelegate $(Epixd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) <destination_validator_address> 1000000aepix --from $WALLET --chain-id epix_1916-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500aepix

4. Node Status & Info

Check Sync Status

Epixd 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

Epixd tendermint show-node-id

Restart Node

sudo systemctl restart Epixd

View Node Logs

sudo journalctl -u Epixd -f -o cat

5. Governance

List Proposals

Epixd query gov proposals

View Proposal Details

Epixd query gov proposal <proposal_id>

Vote on Proposal

Epixd tx gov vote <proposal_id> yes --from $WALLET --chain-id epix_1916-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500aepix

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=\"epix_1916-1\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

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