Oasis CLI

This is the official command-line interface (CLI) for interacting with the Oasis Network, both the consensus layer and ParaTimes built with the Oasis Runtime SDK.

Building

To build the CLI, run the following:

make

This will generate a binary called oasis which you are free to put somewhere in your $PATH.

NOTE: The rest of the README assumes the oasis binary is somewhere in your $PATH.

Quickstart

You can interact with the Oasis CLI by invoking it from the command line as follows:

oasis --help

Each (sub)command has a help section that shows what commands and arguments are available.

The Oasis CLI also comes with a default set of networks and ParaTimes configured. You can see the list by running:

oasis network list
oasis paratime list

Initial configuration currently defaults to mainnet and the emerald ParaTime but this can easily be changed using the corresponding set-default subcommand as follows:

oasis network set-default testnet
oasis paratime set-default testnet sapphire

To be able to sign transactions you will need to first create or import an account into your wallet. File-based (storing keys in an encrypted file) and Ledger-based (storing keys on a Ledger device) backends are supported. To create a new file-backed account run:

oasis wallet create myaccount

It will ask you to choose and confirm a passphrase to encrypt your account with. You can see a list of all accounts by running:

oasis wallet list

To show the account's balance on the default network/ParaTime, run:

oasis account show

The account command also allows you to transfer tokens, deposit or withdraw to and from ParaTimes, delegate your assets to validators etc.

Check out the complete User's guide in [docs/README.md] and example invocations of the CLI in examples folder to learn more.

Configuration

All configuration is stored in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/oasis directory (e.g. $HOME/.config/oasis on Linux).
