Flags:
Name, shorthand | Type | Default | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
--multisig | strings | List of key names stored in keyring to construct a public legacy multisig key | ||
--multisig-threshold | string | 1 | K out of N required signatures. For use in conjunction with --multisig (default 1) | |
--nosort | Keys passed to --multisig are taken in the order they're supplied | |||
--pubkey | string | Parse a public key in JSON format and saves key info to <name> file. | ||
--interactive | Interactively prompt user for BIP39 passphrase and mnemonic | |||
--ledger | Store a local reference to a private key on a Ledger device | |||
--recover | Provide seed phrase to recover existing key instead of creating | |||
--no-backup | Don't print out seed phrase (if others are watching the terminal) | |||
--dry-run | Perform action, but don't add key to local keystore | |||
--hd-path | string | Manual HD Path derivation (overrides BIP44 config) | ||
--coin-type | uint32 | 60 | coin type number for HD derivation (default 60) | |
--account | uint32 | Account number for HD derivation (less than equal 2147483647) | ||
--index | uint32 | Address index number for HD derivation (less than equal 2147483647) | ||

Create a new key
WARNING
Importantwrite the seed phrase in a safe place! It is the only way to recover your account if you ever forget your password.
Recover an existing key from seed phrase
If you forget your password or lose your key, or you wanna use your key in another place, you can recover your key by your seed phrase.
You'll be asked to enter the seed phrase. Then you get your key back.
Create a multisig key
The following example creates a multisig key with 3 sub-keys, and specify the minimum number of signatures as 2. The tx could be broadcast only when the number of signatures is greater than or equal to 2.
TIP
<signer-keyname>
can be the type of "local/offline/ledger", but not "multi" type.If you don't have all the permission of sub-keys, you can ask for the pubkeys to create the offline keys first, then you will be able to create the multisig key.Offline key can be created by "uptickd keys add --pubkey".
How to use multisig key to sign and broadcast a transaction, please refer to multisign
uptickd keys delete
Delete a local key by the given name.
Flags:
Name, shorthand | Default | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
--force, -f | FALSE | Remove the key unconditionally without asking for the passphrase. Deprecated | |
--yes, -y | FALSE | Skip confirmation prompt when deleting offline or ledger key references | |
--help, -h | FALSE | help for delete |
Delete a local key
uptickd keys export
Export the keystore of a key to a json file
Export keystore
uptickd keys import
Import a ASCII armored private key into the local keybase.
Import a ASCII armored private key
uptickd keys list
List all the keys stored by this key manager along with their associated name, type, address and pubkey.Flags:
Name, shorthand | Default | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
--list-name | List names only |
List all keys
uptickd keys migrate
Migrate key information from the legacy (db-based) Keybase to the new keyring-based Keybase.
Flags:
Name, shorthand | Default | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
--dry-run | Run migration without actually persisting any changes to the new Keybase |
Migrate key information
uptickd keys mnemonic
Create a bip39 mnemonic, sometimes called a seed phrase, by reading from the system entropy. To pass your own entropy, use unsafe-entropy
mode.
Flags:
Name, shorthand | Default | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
--unsafe-entropy | Prompt the user to supply their own entropy, instead of relying on the system |
Create a bip39 mnemonic
You'll get a bip39 mnemonic with 24 words, e.g.:
uptickd keys parse
Convert and print to stdout key addresses and fingerprints from hexadecimal into bech32 cosmos prefixed format and vice versa.
Convert and print to stdout key addresses and fingerprints
uptickd keys show
Get details of a local key.
Flags:
Name, shorthand | Default | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
--address | FALSE | Output the address only (overrides --output) | |
--bech | acc | The Bech32 prefix encoding for a key (acc/val/cons) | |
--device | FALSE | Output the address in a ledger device | |
--multisig-threshold | 1 | K out of N required signatures | |
--pubkey | FALSE | Output the public key only (overrides --output) |
Get details of a local key
The following infos will be shown:
Get validator operator address
If an address has been bonded to be a validator operator (which the address you used to create a validator), then you can use --bech val
to get the operator's address prefixed by iva
and the pubkey prefixed by ivp
:
