Injective - Cheat-sheet

Injective Cheat Sheet and Key Management

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

injective-chain-releasesd keys add $WALLET

Recover Wallet from Seed Phrase

injective-chain-releasesd keys add $WALLET --recover

List Wallets

injective-chain-releasesd keys list

Show Wallet Details

injective-chain-releasesd keys show $WALLET

Delete Wallet

injective-chain-releasesd keys delete $WALLET

2. Wallet Operations

Check Balance

injective-chain-releasesd query bank balances $(injective-chain-releasesd keys show $WALLET -a)

Send Tokens

injective-chain-releasesd tx bank send $WALLET <recipient_address> <amount>inj --chain-id injective-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500inj

3. Validator Management

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

Create Validator

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

Edit Validator

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

Delegate Tokens

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

Withdraw Rewards (Delegator)

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

Withdraw Rewards (Validator Commission)

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

Unbond Tokens

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

Redelegate Tokens

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

4. Node Status & Info

Check Sync Status

injective-chain-releasesd 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

injective-chain-releasesd tendermint show-node-id

Restart Node

sudo systemctl restart injective-chain-releasesd

View Node Logs

sudo journalctl -u injective-chain-releasesd -f -o cat

5. Governance

List Proposals

injective-chain-releasesd query gov proposals

View Proposal Details

injective-chain-releasesd query gov proposal <proposal_id>

Vote on Proposal

injective-chain-releasesd tx gov vote <proposal_id> yes --from $WALLET --chain-id injective-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500inj

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

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