Using Gaia
==========
This project is a demonstration of the Cosmos Hub with staking functionality; it is
designed to get validator acquianted with staking concepts and procedure.
Potential validators will be declaring their candidacy, after which users can
delegate and, if they so wish, unbond. This can be practiced using a local or
public testnet.
Install
-------
The ``gaia`` tooling is an extension of the Cosmos-SDK; to install:
::
go get github.com/cosmos/gaia
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/cosmos/gaia
make get_vendor_deps
make install
It has three primary commands:
::
Available Commands:
node The Cosmos Network delegation-game blockchain test
rest-server REST client for gaia commands
client Gaia light client
version Show version info
help Help about any command
and a handful of flags that are highlighted only as necessary.
The ``gaia node`` command is a proxt for running a tendermint node. You'll be using
this command to either initialize a new node, or - using existing files - joining
the testnet.
The ``gaia rest-server`` command is used by the `cosmos UI <https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-ui>`__.
Lastly, the ``gaia client`` command is the workhorse of the staking module. It allows
for sending various transactions and other types of interaction with a running chain.
that you've setup or joined a testnet.
Generating Keys
---------------
Review the `key management tutorial <../key-management.html>`__ and create one key
if you'll be joining the public testnet, and three keys if you'll be trying out a local
testnet.
Setup Testnet
-------------
The first thing you'll want to do is either `create a local testnet <./local-testnet.html>`__ or
join a `public testnet <./public-testnet.html>`__. Either step is required before proceeding.
The rest of this tutorial will assume a local testnet with three participants: ``alice`` will be
the initial validator, ``bob`` will first receives tokens from ``alice`` then declare candidacy
as a validator, and ``charlie`` will bond then unbond to ``bob``. If you're joining the public
testnet, the token amounts will need to be adjusted.
Sending Tokens
--------------
We'll have ``alice`` who is currently quite rich, send some ``fermions`` to ``bob``:
::
gaia client tx send --amount=1000fermion --sequence=1 --name=alice --to=5A35E4CC7B7DC0A5CB49CEA91763213A9AE92AD6
where the ``--sequence`` flag is to be incremented for each transaction, the ``--name`` flag names the sender, and the ``--to`` flag takes ``bob``'s address. You'll see something like:
::
Please enter passphrase for alice:
{
"check_tx": {
"gas": 30
},
"deliver_tx": {
"tags": [
{
"key": "height",
"value_type": 1,
"value_int": 2963
},
{
"key": "coin.sender",
"value_string": "5D93A6059B6592833CBC8FA3DA90EE0382198985"
},
{
"key": "coin.receiver",
"value_string": "5A35E4CC7B7DC0A5CB49CEA91763213A9AE92AD6"
}
]
},
"hash": "423BD7EA3C4B36AF8AFCCA381C0771F8A698BA77",
"height": 2963
}
Check out ``bob``'s account, which should now have 992 fermions:
::
gaia client query account 5A35E4CC7B7DC0A5CB49CEA91763213A9AE92AD6
Adding a Second Validator
-------------------------
Next, let's add the second node as a validator.
First, we need the pub_key data:
::
cat $HOME/.gaia2/priv_validator.json
the first part will look like:
::
{"address":"7B78527942C831E16907F10C3263D5ED933F7E99","pub_key":{"type":"ed25519","data":"96864CE7085B2E342B0F96F2E92B54B18C6CC700186238810D5AA7DFDAFDD3B2"},
and you want the ``pub_key`` ``data`` that starts with ``96864CE``.
Now ``bob`` can declare candidacy to that pubkey:
::
gaia client tx declare-candidacy --amount=10fermion --name=bob --pubkey=<pub_key data> --moniker=bobby
with an output like:
::
Please enter passphrase for bob:
{
"check_tx": {
"gas": 30
},
"deliver_tx": {},
"hash": "2A2A61FFBA1D7A59138E0068C82CC830E5103799",
"height": 4075
}
We should see ``bob``'s account balance decrease by 10 fermions:
::
gaia client query account 5D93A6059B6592833CBC8FA3DA90EE0382198985
To confirm for certain the new validator is active, ask the tendermint node:
::
curl localhost:46657/validators
If you now kill either node, blocks will stop streaming in, because
there aren't enough validators online. Turn it back on and they will
start streaming again.
Now that ``bob`` has declared candidacy, which essentially bonded 10 fermions and made him a validator, we're going to get ``charlie`` to delegate some coins to ``bob``.
Delegating
----------
First let's have ``alice`` send some coins to ``charlie``:
::
gaia client tx send --amount=1000fermion --sequence=2 --name=alice --to=48F74F48281C89E5E4BE9092F735EA519768E8EF
Then ``charlie`` will delegate some fermions to ``bob``:
::
gaia client tx delegate --amount=10fermion --name=charlie --pubkey=<pub_key data>
You'll see output like:
::
Please enter passphrase for charlie:
{
"check_tx": {
"gas": 30
},
"deliver_tx": {},
"hash": "C3443BA30FCCC1F6E3A3D6AAAEE885244F8554F0",
"height": 51585
}
And that's it. You can query ``charlie``'s account to see the decrease in fermions.
To get more information about the candidate, try:
::
gaia client query candidate --pubkey=<pub_key data>
and you'll see output similar to:
::
{
"height": 51899,
"data": {
"pub_key": {
"type": "ed25519",
"data": "52D6FCD8C92A97F7CCB01205ADF310A18411EA8FDCC10E65BF2FCDB05AD1689B"
},
"owner": {
"chain": "",
"app": "sigs",
"addr": "5A35E4CC7B7DC0A5CB49CEA91763213A9AE92AD6"
},
"shares": 20,
"voting_power": 20,
"description": {
"moniker": "bobby",
"identity": "",
"website": "",
"details": ""
}
}
}
It's also possible the query the delegator's bond like so:
::
gaia client query delegator-bond --delegator-address 48F74F48281C89E5E4BE9092F735EA519768E8EF --pubkey 52D6FCD8C92A97F7CCB01205ADF310A18411EA8FDCC10E65BF2FCDB05AD1689B
with an output similar to:
::
{
"height": 325782,
"data": {
"PubKey": {
"type": "ed25519",
"data": "52D6FCD8C92A97F7CCB01205ADF310A18411EA8FDCC10E65BF2FCDB05AD1689B"
},
"Shares": 20
}
}
where the ``--delegator-address`` is ``charlie``'s address and the ``-pubkey`` is the same as we've been using.
Unbonding
---------
Finally, to relinquish your voting power, unbond some coins. You should see
your VotingPower reduce and your account balance increase.
::
gaia client tx unbond --amount=5fermion --name=charlie --pubkey=<pub_key data>
gaia client query account 48F74F48281C89E5E4BE9092F735EA519768E8EF
See the bond decrease with ``gaia client query delegator-bond`` like above.
That concludes an overview of the ``gaia`` tooling for local testing.

Key Management
==============
Here we explain a bit how to work with your keys, using the
``gaia client keys`` subcommand.
**Note:** This keys tooling is not considered production ready and is
for dev only.
We'll look at what you can do using the six sub-commands of
``gaia client keys``:
::
new
list
get
delete
recover
update
Create keys
-----------
``gaia client keys new`` has two inputs (name, password) and two outputs
(address, seed).
First, we name our key:
::
gaia client keys new alice
This will prompt (10 character minimum) password entry which must be
re-typed. You'll see:
::
Enter a passphrase:
Repeat the passphrase:
alice A159C96AE911F68913E715ED889D211C02EC7D70
**Important** write this seed phrase in a safe place.
It is the only way to recover your account if you ever forget your password.
pelican amateur empower assist awkward claim brave process cliff save album pigeon intact asset
which shows the address of your key named ``alice``, and its recovery
seed. We'll use these shortly.
Adding the ``--output json`` flag to the above command would give this
output:
::
Enter a passphrase:
Repeat the passphrase:
{
"key": {
"name": "alice",
"address": "A159C96AE911F68913E715ED889D211C02EC7D70",
"pubkey": {
"type": "ed25519",
"data": "4BF22554B0F0BF2181187E5E5456E3BF3D96DB4C416A91F07F03A9C36F712B77"
}
},
"seed": "pelican amateur empower assist awkward claim brave process cliff save album pigeon intact asset"
}
To avoid the prompt, it's possible to pipe the password into the
command, e.g.:
::
echo 1234567890 | gaia client keys new fred --output json
After trying each of the three ways to create a key, look at them, use:
::
gaia client keys list
to list all the keys:
::
All keys:
alice 6FEA9C99E2565B44FCC3C539A293A1378CDA7609
bob A159C96AE911F68913E715ED889D211C02EC7D70
charlie 784D623E0C15DE79043C126FA6449B68311339E5
Again, we can use the ``--output json`` flag:
::
[
{
"name": "alice",
"address": "6FEA9C99E2565B44FCC3C539A293A1378CDA7609",
"pubkey": {
"type": "ed25519",
"data": "878B297F1E863CC30CAD71E04A8B3C23DB71C18F449F39E35B954EDB2276D32D"
}
},
{
"name": "bob",
"address": "A159C96AE911F68913E715ED889D211C02EC7D70",
"pubkey": {
"type": "ed25519",
"data": "2127CAAB96C08E3042C5B33C8B5A820079AAE8DD50642DCFCC1E8B74821B2BB9"
}
},
{
"name": "charlie",
"address": "784D623E0C15DE79043C126FA6449B68311339E5",
"pubkey": {
"type": "ed25519",
"data": "4BF22554B0F0BF2181187E5E5456E3BF3D96DB4C416A91F07F03A9C36F712B77"
}
},
]
to get machine readable output.
If we want information about one specific key, then:
::
gaia client keys get charlie --output json
will, for example, return the info for only the "charlie" key returned
from the previous ``gaia client keys list`` command.
The keys tooling can support different types of keys with a flag:
::
gaia client keys new bit --type secp256k1
and you'll see the difference in the ``"type": field from``\ gaia client
keys get\`
Before moving on, let's set an enviroment variable to make
``--output json`` the default.
Either run or put in your ``~/.bash_profile`` the following line:
::
export BC_OUTPUT=json
Recover a key
-------------
Let's say, for whatever reason, you lose a key or forget the password.
On creation, you were given a seed. We'll use it to recover a lost key.
First, let's simulate the loss by deleting a key:
::
gaia client keys delete alice
which prompts for your current password, now rendered obsolete, and
gives a warning message. The only way you can recover your key now is
using the 12 word seed given on initial creation of the key. Let's try
it:
::
gaia client keys recover alice-again
which prompts for a new password then the seed:
::
Enter the new passphrase:
Enter your recovery seed phrase:
strike alien praise vendor term left market practice junior better deputy divert front calm
alice-again CBF5D9CE6DDCC32806162979495D07B851C53451
and voila! You've recovered your key. Note that the seed can be typed
out, pasted in, or piped into the command alongside the password.
To change the password of a key, we can:
::
gaia client keys update alice-again
and follow the prompts.
That covers most features of the keys sub command.

Local Testnet
=============
This tutorial demonstrates the basics of setting up a gaia
testnet locally.
If you haven't already made a key, make one now:
::
gaia client keys new alice
otherwise, use an existing key.
Initialize The Chain
--------------------
Now initialize a gaia chain, using ``alice``'s address:
::
gaia node init 5D93A6059B6592833CBC8FA3DA90EE0382198985 --home=$HOME/.gaia1 --chain-id=gaia-test
This will create all the files necessary to run a single node chain in
``$HOME/.gaia1``: a ``priv_validator.json`` file with the validators
private key, and a ``genesis.json`` file with the list of validators and
accounts.
We'll add a second node on our local machine by initiating a node in a
new directory, with the same address, and copying in the genesis:
::
gaia node init 5D93A6059B6592833CBC8FA3DA90EE0382198985 --home=$HOME/.gaia2 --chain-id=gaia-test
cp $HOME/.gaia1/genesis.json $HOME/.gaia2/genesis.json
We also need to modify ``$HOME/.gaia2/config.toml`` to set new seeds
and ports. It should look like:
::
proxy_app = "tcp://127.0.0.1:46668"
moniker = "anonymous"
fast_sync = true
db_backend = "leveldb"
log_level = "state:info,*:error"
[rpc]
laddr = "tcp://0.0.0.0:46667"
[p2p]
laddr = "tcp://0.0.0.0:46666"
seeds = "0.0.0.0:46656"
Start Nodes
-----------
Now that we've initialized the chains, we can start both nodes:
NOTE: each command below must be started in seperate terminal windows. Alternatively, to run this testnet across multiple machines, you'd replace the ``seeds = "0.0.0.0"`` in ``~/.gaia2.config.toml`` with the IP of the first node, and could skip the modifications we made to the config file above because port conflicts would be avoided.
::
gaia node start --home=$HOME/.gaia1
gaia node start --home=$HOME/.gaia2
Now we can initialize a client for the first node, and look up our
account:
::
gaia client init --chain-id=gaia-test --node=tcp://localhost:46657
gaia client query account 5D93A6059B6592833CBC8FA3DA90EE0382198985
To see what tendermint considers the validator set is, use:
::
curl localhost:46657/validators
and compare the information in this file: ``~/.gaia1/priv_validator.json``. The ``address`` and ``pub_key`` fields should match.
To add a second validator on your testnet, you'll need to bond some tokens be declaring candidacy.

Public Testnets
===============
Here we'll cover the basics of joining a public testnet. These testnets
come and go with various names are we release new versions of tendermint
core. This tutorial covers joining the ``gaia-1`` testnet. To join
other testnets, choose different initialization files, described below.
Get Tokens
----------
If you haven't already `created a key <../key-management.html>`__,
do so now. Copy your key's address and enter it into
`this utility <http://www.cosmosvalidators.com/>`__ which will send you
some ``fermion`` testnet tokens.
Get Files
---------
Now, to sync with the testnet, we need the genesis file and seeds. The
easiest way to get them is to clone and navigate to the tendermint
testnet repo:
::
git clone https://github.com/tendermint/testnets ~/testnets
cd ~/testnets/gaia-1/gaia
NOTE: to join a different testnet, change the ``gaia-1/gaia`` filepath
to another directory with testnet inititalization files *and* an
active testnet.
Start Node
----------
Now we can start a new node:it may take awhile to sync with the
existing testnet.
::
gaia node start --home=$HOME/testnets/gaia-1/gaia
Once blocks slow down to about one per second, you're all caught up.
The ``gaia node start`` command will automaticaly generate a validator
private key found in ``~/testnets/gaia-1/gaia/priv_validator.json``.
Finally, let's initialize the gaia client to interact with the testnet:
::
gaia client init --chain-id=gaia-1 --node=tcp://localhost:46657
and check our balance:
::
gaia client query account $MYADDR
Where ``$MYADDR`` is the address originally generated by ``gaia keys new bob``.
You are now ready to declare candidacy or delegate some fermions. See the
`staking module overview <./staking-module.html>`__ for more information
on using the ``gaia client``.
