Cheat Sheet
A Tendermint cheat sheet is a quick reference for essential commands to control Tendermint blockchains.
Managing keys
Managing keys on a Tendermint-based chain involves securing and controlling access to cryptographic keys used for chain operations.
Generate new key
xiond keys add wallet
Recover key
xiond keys add wallet --recover
List all key
xiond keys list
Delete key
xiond keys delete wallet
Export key
xiond keys export wallet
Import key
xiond keys import wallet wallet.backup
Query wallet balances
xiond q bank balances $(xiond keys show wallet -a)
Managing validators
Ensure you've updated moniker, identity, details, and website to match your values.
Create validator
xiond tx staking create-validator \
--amount 1000000uxion \
--pubkey $(xiond tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker "your-moniker-name" \
--identity "your-keybase-id" \
--details "your-details" \
--website "your-website" \
--security-contact "your-email" \
--chain-id xion-mainnet-1 \
--commission-rate 0.05 \
--commission-max-rate 0.20 \
--commission-max-change-rate 0.01 \
--min-self-delegation 1 \
--from wallet \
--gas-adjustment 1.4 \
--gas auto \
-y
Edit validator
xiond tx staking edit-validator \
--new-moniker "your-moniker-name" \
--identity "your-keybase-id" \
--details "your-details" \
--website "your-website" \
--security-contact "your-email" \
--chain-id xion-mainnet-1 \
--commission-rate 0.05 \
--from wallet \
--gas-adjustment 1.4 \
--gas auto \
-y
Unjail validator
xiond tx slashing unjail --from wallet --chain-id xion-mainnet-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto -y
Validator jail reason
xiond query slashing signing-info $(xiond tendermint show-validator)
List active validator
xiond q staking validators -oj --limit=3000 | jq '.validators[] | select(.status=="BOND_STATUS_BONDED")' | jq -r '(.tokens|tonumber/pow(10; 6)|floor|tostring) + " \t " + .description.moniker' | sort -gr | nl
List incative validator
xiond q staking validators -oj --limit=3000 | jq '.validators[] | select(.status=="BOND_STATUS_UNBONDED")' | jq -r '(.tokens|tonumber/pow(10; 6)|floor|tostring) + " \t " + .description.moniker' | sort -gr | nl
View validator details
xiond q staking validator $(xiond keys show wallet --bech val -a)
Managing Tokens
Withdraw reward from all validator
xiond tx distribution withdraw-all-rewards --from wallet --chain-id xion-mainnet-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto -y
Withdraw reward and commission
xiond tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(xiond keys show wallet --bech val -a) --commission --from wallet --chain-id xion-mainnet-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto -y
Delegate tokens to your validator
xiond tx staking delegate $(xiond keys show wallet --bech val -a) 1000000uxion --from wallet --chain-id xion-mainnet-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto -y
Delegate token to other validator, change <to-valoper-address> as you like
xiond tx staking delegate <to-valoper-address> 1000000uxion --from wallet --chain-id xion-mainnet-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto -y
Redelegate to another validator
xiond tx staking redelegate $(xiond keys show wallet --bech val -a) <to-valoper-address> 1000000uxion --from wallet --chain-id xion-mainnet-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto -y
Unbond token from your own validator
xiond tx staking unbond $(xiond keys show wallet --bech val -a) 1000000uxion --from wallet --chain-id xion-mainnet-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto -y
Send token to the wallet
xiond tx bank send wallet <to-wallet-address> 1000000uxion --from wallet --chain-id xion-mainnet-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto -y
Governance
Query list proposal
xiond query gov proposals
View proposal by ID
xiond query gov proposal 1
Vote option yes
xiond tx gov vote 1 yes --from wallet --chain-id xion-mainnet-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto -y
Vote option no
xiond tx gov vote 1 no --from wallet --chain-id xion-mainnet-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto -y
Vote option asbtain
xiond tx gov vote 1 abstain --from wallet --chain-id xion-mainnet-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto -y
Vote option NoWithVeto
xiond tx gov vote 1 NoWithVeto --from wallet --chain-id xion-mainnet-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto -y
Usefulness
Please note that updating the custom port is optional!
Update custom port
CUSTOM_PORT=129
sed -i -e "s%^proxy_app = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:26658\"%proxy_app = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:${CUSTOM_PORT}58\"%; s%^laddr = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:26657\"%laddr = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:${CUSTOM_PORT}57\"%; s%^pprof_laddr = \"localhost:6060\"%pprof_laddr = \"localhost:${CUSTOM_PORT}60\"%; s%^laddr = \"tcp://0.0.0.0:26656\"%laddr = \"tcp://0.0.0.0:${CUSTOM_PORT}56\"%; s%^prometheus_listen_addr = \":26660\"%prometheus_listen_addr = \":${CUSTOM_PORT}66\"%" $HOME/.xiond/config/config.toml

Maintenance
Get validator information
xiond status 2>&1 | jq .ValidatorInfo
Get sync information
xiond status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo
Get node peer
echo $(xiond tendermint show-node-id)'@'$(curl -s ifconfig.me)':'$(cat $HOME/.xiond/config/config.toml | sed -n '/Address to listen for incoming connection/{n;p;}' | sed 's/.*://; s/".*//')
Check validator keys
[[ $(xiond q staking validator $(xiond keys show wallet --bech val -a) -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(xiond status | jq -r .ValidatorInfo.PubKey.value) ]] && echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[32mTrue\e[0m\n" || echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[31mFalse\e[0m\n"
Get live peers
curl -sS http://localhost:12957/net_info | jq -r '.result.peers[] | "\(.node_info.id)@\(.remote_ip):\(.node_info.listen_addr)"' | awk -F ':' '{print $1":"$(NF)}'
Configure minimum gas prices
sed -i -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.0025uxion\"/" $HOME/.xiond/config/app.toml
Enable prometheus
sed -i -e "s/prometheus = false/prometheus = true/" $HOME/.xiond/config/config.toml
Reset chain data
xiond tendermint unsafe-reset-all --keep-addr-book --home $HOME/.xiond --keep-addr-book
π¨
Before moving on to the next step, be aware that all chain data will be erased. Ensure you've created a backup of your priv_validator_key.json!

cd $HOME
sudo systemctl stop xion
sudo systemctl disable xion
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/xion.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo rm -f $(which xiond)
sudo rm -rf $HOME/.xiond
