Lava Network Mainnet Cheat Sheet and Key Management

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

lavad keys add $WALLET

Recover Wallet from Seed Phrase

lavad keys add $WALLET --recover

List Wallets

lavad keys list

Show Wallet Details

lavad keys show $WALLET

Delete Wallet

lavad keys delete $WALLET

2. Wallet Operations

Check Balance

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

Send Tokens

lavad tx bank send $WALLET <recipient_address> <amount>ulava --chain-id lava-mainnet-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ulava

3. Validator Management

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

Create Validator

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

Edit Validator

lavad tx staking edit-validator \\
  --new-moniker "$MONIKER" \\
  --identity "" \\
  --website "" \\
  --details "Your validator description" \\
  --chain-id lava-mainnet-1 \\
  --from $WALLET \\
  --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 \\
  --fees 500ulava

Delegate Tokens

lavad tx staking delegate $(lavad keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) 1000000ulava --from $WALLET --chain-id lava-mainnet-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ulava

Withdraw Rewards (Delegator)

lavad tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(lavad keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) --from $WALLET --chain-id lava-mainnet-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ulava

Withdraw Rewards (Validator Commission)

lavad tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(lavad keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) --commission --from $WALLET --chain-id lava-mainnet-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ulava

Unbond Tokens

lavad tx staking unbond $(lavad keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) 1000000ulava --from $WALLET --chain-id lava-mainnet-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ulava

Redelegate Tokens

lavad tx staking redelegate $(lavad keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) <destination_validator_address> 1000000ulava --from $WALLET --chain-id lava-mainnet-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ulava

4. Node Status & Info

Check Sync Status

lavad 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

lavad tendermint show-node-id

Restart Node

sudo systemctl restart lavad

View Node Logs

sudo journalctl -u lavad -f -o cat

5. Governance

List Proposals

lavad query gov proposals

View Proposal Details

lavad query gov proposal <proposal_id>

Vote on Proposal

lavad tx gov vote <proposal_id> yes --from $WALLET --chain-id lava-mainnet-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500ulava

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

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