Uptick Network Cheat Sheet and Key Management

This guide provides essential commands for managing wallets, nodes, and validators on the Uptick Network 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.
uptickd keys add $WALLET

Recover Wallet from Seed Phrase

uptickd keys add $WALLET --recover

List Wallets

uptickd keys list

Show Wallet Details

uptickd keys show $WALLET

Delete Wallet

uptickd keys delete $WALLET

2. Wallet Operations

Check Balance

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

Send Tokens

uptickd tx bank send $WALLET <recipient_address> <amount>auptick --chain-id uptick_117-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500auptick

3. Validator Management

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

Create Validator

uptickd tx staking create-validator \\
  --amount 1000000auptick \\
  --from $WALLET \\
  --commission-rate 0.1 \\
  --commission-max-rate 0.2 \\
  --commission-max-change-rate 0.01 \\
  --min-self-delegation 1 \\
  --pubkey $(uptickd tendermint show-validator) \\
  --moniker "$MONIKER" \\
  --identity "" \\
  --website "" \\
  --details "Your validator description" \\
  --security-contact "your@email.com" \\
  --chain-id uptick_117-1 \\
  --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 \\
  --fees 500auptick

Edit Validator

uptickd tx staking edit-validator \\
  --new-moniker "$MONIKER" \\
  --identity "" \\
  --website "" \\
  --details "Your validator description" \\
  --chain-id uptick_117-1 \\
  --from $WALLET \\
  --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 \\
  --fees 500auptick

Delegate Tokens

uptickd tx staking delegate $(uptickd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) 1000000auptick --from $WALLET --chain-id uptick_117-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500auptick

Withdraw Rewards (Delegator)

uptickd tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(uptickd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) --from $WALLET --chain-id uptick_117-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500auptick

Withdraw Rewards (Validator Commission)

uptickd tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(uptickd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) --commission --from $WALLET --chain-id uptick_117-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500auptick

Unbond Tokens

uptickd tx staking unbond $(uptickd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) 1000000auptick --from $WALLET --chain-id uptick_117-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500auptick

Redelegate Tokens

uptickd tx staking redelegate $(uptickd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) <destination_validator_address> 1000000auptick --from $WALLET --chain-id uptick_117-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500auptick

4. Node Status & Info

Check Sync Status

uptickd 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

uptickd tendermint show-node-id

Restart Node

sudo systemctl restart uptickd

View Node Logs

sudo journalctl -u uptickd -f -o cat

5. Governance

List Proposals

uptickd query gov proposals

View Proposal Details

uptickd query gov proposal <proposal_id>

Vote on Proposal

uptickd tx gov vote <proposal_id> yes --from $WALLET --chain-id uptick_117-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 500auptick

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=\"uptick_117-1\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

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