Osmosis Cheat Sheet and Key Management
This guide provides essential commands for managing wallets, nodes, and validators on the Osmosis 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.
osmosisd keys add $WALLET Recover Wallet from Seed Phrase
osmosisd keys add $WALLET --recover List Wallets
osmosisd keys list Show Wallet Details
osmosisd keys show $WALLET Delete Wallet
osmosisd keys delete $WALLET 2. Wallet Operations
Check Balance
osmosisd query bank balances $(osmosisd keys show $WALLET -a) Send Tokens
osmosisd tx bank send $WALLET <recipient_address> <amount>uosmo --chain-id osmosis-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uosmo 3. Validator Management
💡 Note: Ensure you have enough tokens for self-delegation and transaction fees before creating a validator.
Create Validator
osmosisd tx staking create-validator \\
--amount 1000000uosmo \\
--from $WALLET \\
--commission-rate 0.1 \\
--commission-max-rate 0.2 \\
--commission-max-change-rate 0.01 \\
--min-self-delegation 1 \\
--pubkey $(osmosisd tendermint show-validator) \\
--moniker "$MONIKER" \\
--identity "" \\
--website "" \\
--details "Your validator description" \\
--security-contact "your@email.com" \\
--chain-id osmosis-1 \\
--gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 \\
--fees 500uosmo Edit Validator
osmosisd tx staking edit-validator \\
--new-moniker "$MONIKER" \\
--identity "" \\
--website "" \\
--details "Your validator description" \\
--chain-id osmosis-1 \\
--from $WALLET \\
--gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 \\
--fees 500uosmo Delegate Tokens
osmosisd tx staking delegate $(osmosisd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) 1000000uosmo --from $WALLET --chain-id osmosis-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uosmo Withdraw Rewards (Delegator)
osmosisd tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(osmosisd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) --from $WALLET --chain-id osmosis-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uosmo Withdraw Rewards (Validator Commission)
osmosisd tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(osmosisd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) --commission --from $WALLET --chain-id osmosis-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uosmo Unbond Tokens
osmosisd tx staking unbond $(osmosisd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) 1000000uosmo --from $WALLET --chain-id osmosis-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uosmo Redelegate Tokens
osmosisd tx staking redelegate $(osmosisd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) <destination_validator_address> 1000000uosmo --from $WALLET --chain-id osmosis-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uosmo 4. Node Status & Info
Check Sync Status
osmosisd 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
osmosisd tendermint show-node-id Restart Node
sudo systemctl restart osmosisd View Node Logs
sudo journalctl -u osmosisd -f -o cat 5. Governance
List Proposals
osmosisd query gov proposals View Proposal Details
osmosisd query gov proposal <proposal_id> Vote on Proposal
osmosisd tx gov vote <proposal_id> yes --from $WALLET --chain-id osmosis-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500uosmo 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=\"osmosis-1\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile This cheat sheet is provided to streamline Osmosis validator and wallet management. All commands use environment variables for easier management.
