safrochaind CLI overview
safrochaind is the single binary that powers a Safrochain node and acts as
its CLI client. It follows the standard Cosmos SDK 0.50 layout:
safrochaind <command> [flags]
status / version / config / init / start
keys <add|list|show|delete|export|import>
query <module> ... (read-only, no signing)
tx <module> ... (signs and broadcasts)
comet <show-node-id|show-validator|reset-state|...>
module <feepay|feeshare|drip|clock|cw-hooks|...> ...
Install
git clone https://github.com/Safrochain-Org/safrochain-node
cd safrochain-node
make install
safrochaind version
For an exhaustive build/run guide, see Run a Node → Install.
Configure once, save typing forever
safrochaind config writes a per-user config file under
~/.safrochain/config/client.toml:
safrochaind config chain-id safrochain-1
safrochaind config node https://rpc.safrochain.network:443
safrochaind config keyring-backend file
safrochaind config broadcast-mode sync
safrochaind config output json
After this, you can drop --chain-id, --node, --keyring-backend,
--broadcast-mode, and --output from every subsequent command.
Global flags worth knowing
| Flag | Purpose |
|---|---|
--node URL | RPC to use. Mainnet: https://rpc.safrochain.network:443. Testnet: https://rpc.testnet.safrochain.com:443. |
--chain-id ID | safrochain-1 or safro-testnet-1. |
--keyring-backend KIND | file (recommended) / os / test (sandbox only). |
--from KEY | which signer key to use. |
--gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.3 | safe default; override with a fixed number for known-cheap txs. |
--gas-prices 0.05usaf | matches 0.05 usaf/gas (the chain-wide min via globalfee) (usaf) and globalfee; use with --gas auto. |
--broadcast-mode sync | wait for inclusion in mempool but not confirmation. |
--output json | parse with jq/yq. |
--yes -y | skip confirmation prompt. |
Keyring backends
| Backend | Storage | When to use |
|---|---|---|
file | encrypted on disk (passphrase) | default for production |
os | OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Linux secret-service) | dev workstations |
test | plaintext in ~/.safrochain | local sandbox only |
pass | pass-based store | advanced |
Always pass --keyring-backend file (or set it via safrochaind config).
The default is os, which can silently fall back to plaintext in some
container images.
