Dubhe CLI for Initia

Before getting started with Dubhe CLI, please install the required dependencies:

pnpm install -D @0xobelisk/initia-cli @0xobelisk/initia-common

Note: @0xobelisk/initia-common contains essential configuration type definitions like DubheConfig.

The Dubhe CLI

The Dubhe CLI is a development toolkit for building and managing Dubhe projects on the Initia blockchain.

Core features:

  1. publish: Deploy your Dubhe projects to any Initia network (mainnet/testnet/devnet/localnet)
  2. localnode: Manage local Initia node for development
  3. faucet: Interface with Initia faucets to fund addresses on testnet/devnet/localnet
  4. test: Run tests for Dubhe contracts

Installation

The CLI should be installed as a project dependency rather than globally. When you create a new project using pnpm create dubhe, the CLI is automatically added as a dev dependency.

Using the CLI

Some commands expect a dubhe config in the same folder where the CLI is being executed. This includes publish.

faucet and localnode can be executed anywhere.

Commands

publish

Deploy Dubhe contracts to Initia network. This tool will use the dubhe.config.ts to detect all systems and schemas to deploy them to the specified network.

Before deploying the contract, please ensure:

  1. You have sufficient tokens in your account for deployment fees
  2. For testnet/devnet/localnet deployments, you can get test tokens via dubhe faucet
  3. For localnet deployments, ensure your local node is running
dubhe publish --network <network> [--config-path <path>] [--named-addresses <addresses>]
 
Options:
  --network           Target network (mainnet/testnet/devnet/localnet)
  --config-path       Config file path (default: "dubhe.config.ts")
  --named-addresses   Named addresses in format "name1=address1,name2=address2"

localnode

Manage local Initia node.

dubhe localnode <action> [options]
 
Actions:
  start     Start local node
  stop      Stop local node
  status    Check node status
  restart   Restart local node
  clean     Clean local node state
 
Options:
  --background, -b    Run node in background mode

Local RPC endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:9000

Note: Make sure your local node is running properly before using other commands that require a local node (e.g., publish --network localnet).

faucet

Request test tokens from the Initia faucet. The default faucet service automatically gives test tokens to accounts in .env.

dubhe faucet --network <network> [--recipient <address>]
 
Options:
  --network     Network to request tokens on (testnet/devnet/localnet, default: localnet)
  --recipient   Optional recipient address (uses PRIVATE_KEY env if not specified)

The faucet will:

  1. Fund the specified address with 10 INIT
  2. Wait for transaction confirmation
  3. Display the updated balance

test

Run tests for Dubhe contracts.

dubhe test [--package-path <path>]
 
Options:
  --package-path    Path to package directory (default: ".")

Environment Setup

Some commands require environment variables to be set:

  • PRIVATE_KEY: Required for deployment and faucet operations when no recipient is specified
  • Can be set up using a .env file in your project root

When using the deployer or faucet, you must set the private key using the PRIVATE_KEY environment variable. You can make this easier by using dotenv before running commands.

Network Support

The CLI supports the following networks:

  • Mainnet
  • Testnet
  • Devnet
  • Localnet

For testnet/devnet/localnet operations, you can get test tokens using the faucet command.
