EOA Wallets

Prerequisites

Setup the dYdX CLI

1. List wallets

The command below will not read data from the blockchain, but only what has been added or imported into your local installation (By default the keyring-backendis set to os) You can change the keyring as preferred. When using the MacOS default keyring it may require you to unlock access to your Keychain app.

$ dydxprotocold keys list
- address: dydx1m4...dfpel
  name: test
  pubkey: '{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.secp256k1.PubKey","key":"Ara...zbQ0"}'
  type: local

Note that the pubkey value can be used for sharing with multisig counterparties, when they instantiate the multisig on their workstations

dydxprotocold keys show test

2. Generate new wallet

Let’s say you want to name your wallet myNewWallet - you can choose an arbitrary name, that is meaningful to you. Spaces are allowed, although they might not be convenient when you try to use the wallet

$ dydxprotocold keys add myNewWallet 
- address: dydx1cza...069c
  name: myNewWallet
  pubkey: '{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.secp256k1.PubKey","key":"A9QEyr+iQoCI...6IjzVG2vEMf"}'
  type: local


**Important** write this mnemonic phrase in a safe place.
It is the only way to recover your account if you ever forget your password.

some mnemonic keywords will appear here

This will output the newly created wallet information, as well as the mnemonic for it.

3. Import an existing wallet with a mnemonic

You will need to have the mnemonic of the wallet available. myImportedWallet is an example, use a name that is meaningful to you.

The command will halt with the message > Enter your bip39 mnemonic asking for your mnemonic - paste it (or enter it manually) and hit enter:

dydxprotocold keys add myImportedWallet --recover

4. Add an offline wallet

dydxprotocold allows you to add the public key of someone else’s wallet, so that you can, for example, work with a multisig containing that wallet. The section can help obtain a wallet’s public key.

To add it to your setup, execute the following command, adjusting the name offllineWallet accordingly

$ dydxprotocold keys add offllineWallet --pubkey='{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.secp256k1.PubKey","key":"A9QEyr+iQoCI...6IjzVG2vEMf"}'
- address: dydx1cza...069c
  name: offllineWallet
  pubkey: '{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.secp256k1.PubKey","key":"A9QEyr+iQoCI...6IjzVG2vEMf"}'
  type: offline

5. Connect a Ledger HW wallet

💡 If you encounter the following error during the process, please perform the steps in Ledger Wallet and try again.

Error: failed to generate ledger key: failed to retrieve device: ledger nano S: hidapi: failed to open device

  1. Connect your Ledger device to your workstation

  2. Make sure the Cosmos App is installed - open it

  3. Run the following command: (note that myLedgerWallet is an arbitrary name - you can choose your own name)

dydxprotocold keys add myLedgerWallet --ledger
- address: dydx1cza...069c
 name: myLedgerWallet
 pubkey: '{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.secp256k1.PubKey","key":"A9QEyr+iQoCI...6IjzVG2vEMf"}'
 type: ledger

To output the wallet address in the Ledger device - this will allow you to review the address on the device.

dydxprotocold keys show myLedgerWallet --device

Every time you use dydxprotocold with myLedgerWallet you will need to have your Ledger device connected, the Cosmos app open on it

6. Rename a wallet

dydxprotocold keys rename <old name> <new name>

💡 On MacOS, this may require you to input your password in Keychain several times.

7. Query token balances

You can list the tokens balances of an address with

dydxprotocold query bank balances dydx1y66c5c7zpcqxqgqec9ttutuwu60qkzav22h3ue
balances:
- amount: "22071848837500000000"
  denom: adydx
pagination:
  next_key: null
  total: "0"

8. Send a transaction

dydxprotocold tx bank send <from> <to> <amount><denom> --fees <fee amount><feedenom>
  • from:can be either wallet name, or wallet address, but it cannot be an offline wallet

  • to:is the recipient’s wallet address

  • amount denom:e.g. 1000000000000000000 adydx for sending 1 DYDX

  • fee amount denom:e.g. 5000000000000000 adydx - this value may need adjustment

Let's take a look at an example on testnet:


$ dydxprotocold tx bank send testnetWallet \
dydx14zzueazeh0hj67cghhf9jypslcf9sh2n5k6art \
100000000000000000adv4tnt \
--fees 5000000000000000adv4tnt \
--node https://dydx-testnet-rpc.polkachu.com:443 \
--chain-id dydx-testnet-4

    amount:
    - amount: "5000000000000000"

    from_address: dydx14zzueazeh0hj67cghhf9jypslcf9sh2n5k6art
    to_address: dydx14zzueazeh0hj67cghhf9jypslcf9sh2n5k6art

tx: null
txhash: 985DB721FF8B65DB5FCAF57C93599DEDA5B5EDF7C24C8013112CE8752C7E2866

For mainnet, pass --chain-id dydx-mainnet-1 instead. Also make sur the node is a mainnet RPC endpoint.
