Create and Check Transactions (CLI)

You can use xplad in the command-line interface (CLI) to create transactions and send queries. If you haven't installed xplad in the previous steps, feel free to move on to the next step.

Creating Transactions with xplad​

If you've installed xplad and successfully created a wallet in the previous steps, let's proceed with the following instructions.

  1. To create a transaction, you'll need some testnet $XPLA in your wallet. Enter your wallet address in the Faucet and receive testnet $XPLA.

  2. You can generate a transaction that transfers XPLA using the command below.

xplad tx bank send <from-key-or-address> <to-address> <coins> --chain-id=<chain-id> --fees=<fee> --node https://cube-rpc.xpla.dev:443

In the example, the wallet name was test1. Therefore, the command to send 1 aXPLA to the Faucet address xpla1a8f3wnn7qwvwdzxkc9w849kfzhrr6gdvy4c8wv would be as follows.

xplad tx bank send test1 xpla1a8f3wnn7qwvwdzxkc9w849kfzhrr6gdvy4c8wv 1axpla --chain-id=cube_47-5 --fees=170000000000000000axpla --node https://cube-rpc.xpla.dev:443
What is the address https://cube-rpc.xpla.dev:443?

This address is the testnet RPC address. This address allows communication with the XPLA blockchain testnet.

For the mainnet, you should input --node https://dimension-rpc.xpla.dev:443.

  1. After entering the command in step 2, you'll be prompted to enter a passphrase as shown below in the CLI. Enter the passphrase you set when creating the wallet.
Enter keyring passphrase:
  1. When transaction information is displayed in the CLI, confirm the transaction creation by entering y. 
{"body":{"messages":[{"@type":"/cosmos.bank.v1beta1.MsgSend","from_address":"xpla1z92x0yghmyz4k755d8f3vcm478se5rl5zl7sqr","to_address":"xpla1a8f3wnn7qwvwdzxkc9w849kfzhrr6gdvy4c8wv","amount":[{"denom":"axpla","amount":"1"}]}],"memo":"","timeout_height":"0","extension_options":[],"non_critical_extension_options":[]},"auth_info":{"signer_infos":[],"fee":{"amount":[{"denom":"axpla","amount":"170000000000000000"}],"gas_limit":"200000","payer":"","granter":""}},"signatures":[]}

confirm transaction before signing and broadcasting [y/N]:
  1. You'll see the generated transaction hash value.
code: 0
codespace: ""
data: ""
events: []
gas_used: "0"
gas_wanted: "0"
height: "0"
info: ""
logs: []
raw_log: '[]'
timestamp: ""
tx: null
txhash: A8FA5E9E6B54DF2E52C088CF860B6F9BA82D0497AEE1790DE5564CAFA2FD9373

Did you receive the transaction hash value? Use the XPLA Explorer to check the transaction data.

Sending Queries with xplad​

Sending queries and retrieving transaction data using xplad is simple. Just input the command below.

xplad query tx <txhash> --node https://cube-rpc.xpla.dev:443

In the example, the transaction hash value was A8FA5E9E6B54DF2E52C088CF860B6F9BA82D0497AEE1790DE5564CAFA2FD9373. Therefore, you can use the command below to obtain transaction data in the example.

xplad query tx A8FA5E9E6B54DF2E52C088CF860B6F9BA82D0497AEE1790DE5564CAFA2FD9373 --node https://cube-rpc.xpla.dev:443
