Casper CLI

Special made CLI to help with undelegating and scheduling transactions.

Installation

Download the latest executable here (linux only for now): https://github.com/digital-strategies/casper-ds-cli/releases or

Grab the repo https://github.com/digital-strategies/casper-ds-cli and run:

• npm install
• npm run build

If you go with the latter option then in the examples below you need to write npm start -- <command> [options] instead of ./casper-ds <command> [options]

Setup

It's recommended that you put your public_key.pem and secret_key.pm files (make sure the file names match) in the same directory as the CLI so they are detected automatically. Otherwise you can specify custom paths for those files with --pub and --pk parameters.

Running commands

Open a terminal in the directory where you downloaded / built the CLI and run any of the commands below.

Available Commands

All commands and parameters are documented in the CLI when you run ./casper-ds it will give you the available commands and if you run ./casper-ds <command> it will list all possible parameters for that command.

As a general rule, commands that generate a transaction do not broadcast it to the network by default but return the signed transaction instead. To broadcast immediately, add the --broadcast param.

transfer

Creates a transfer transaction to the specified address.

Examples:

• Send 23 CSPR on mainnet ./casper-ds transfer --to 0181dd6e2f7ed815c0246f210aa169882f8e821d874a43f817f77a795147beed61 --amount 23000000000 --network casper
• Send 5 CSPR with specific timestamp on testnet ./casper-ds transfer --to 0181dd6e2f7ed815c0246f210aa169882f8e821d874a43f817f77a795147beed61 --amount 5000000000 --network casper-test --timestamp "2021-06-29T15:01:00.552Z"

undelegate

Creates an undelegate transaction from a specified validator node.

Examples:

• Undelegate 123 CSPR from 017d96b9a63abcb61c870a4f55187a0a7ac24096bdb5fc585c12a686a4d892009e on mainnet ./casper-ds transfer --validator 017d96b9a63abcb61c870a4f55187a0a7ac24096bdb5fc585c12a686a4d892009e --amount 123000000000 --network casper
• Undelegate 5 CSPR from 017d96b9a63abcb61c870a4f55187a0a7ac24096bdb5fc585c12a686a4d892009e with specific timestamp on testnet ./casper-ds transfer --to 017d96b9a63abcb61c870a4f55187a0a7ac24096bdb5fc585c12a686a4d892009e --amount 5000000000 --network casper-test --timestamp "2021-06-29T15:01:00.552Z"

deploy

Broadcasts a given serialized tx (e.g. generated by one of the other commands) to the network.

Examples:

• Broadcast serialized tx ./casper-ds deploy --json <serialized_tx>
• Broadcast serialized tx only when tx's timestamp is greater than or equal to current time (this allows for simple tx scheduling) ./casper-ds deploy --json <serialized_tx> --wait
