Tellor Layer Cheat Sheet and Key Management

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

layerd keys add $WALLET

Recover Wallet from Seed Phrase

layerd keys add $WALLET --recover

List Wallets

layerd keys list

Show Wallet Details

layerd keys show $WALLET

Delete Wallet

layerd keys delete $WALLET

2. Wallet Operations

Check Balance

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

Send Tokens

layerd tx bank send $WALLET <recipient_address> <amount>utoken --chain-id tellor-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500utoken

3. Validator Management

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

Create Validator

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

Edit Validator

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

Delegate Tokens

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

Withdraw Rewards (Delegator)

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

Withdraw Rewards (Validator Commission)

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

Unbond Tokens

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

Redelegate Tokens

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

4. Node Status & Info

Check Sync Status

layerd 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

layerd tendermint show-node-id

Restart Node

sudo systemctl restart layerd

View Node Logs

sudo journalctl -u layerd -f -o cat

5. Governance

List Proposals

layerd query gov proposals

View Proposal Details

layerd query gov proposal <proposal_id>

Vote on Proposal

layerd tx gov vote <proposal_id> yes --from $WALLET --chain-id tellor-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500utoken

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

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