NeoGo CLI interface

NeoGo CLI provides all functionality from one binary, so it's used to run node, create/compile/deploy/invoke/debug smart contracts, run vm and operate with the wallet. The standard setup assumes that you're running a node as a separate process and it doesn't provide any CLI of its own, instead it just makes RPC interface available for you. To perform any actions you invoke NeoGo as a client that connects to this RPC node and does things you want it to do (like transferring some NEP-17 asset).

All CLI commands have corresponding help messages, use --help option to get them, for example:

./bin/neo-go db --help

Running node

Use node command to run a NeoGo node, it will be configured using a YAML file that contains network parameters as well as node settings.

Configuration

All config files are located in ./config and they are differentiated according to the network type:

protocol.mainnet.yml belongs to --mainnet network mode (-m short option)
protocol.privnet.yml belongs to --privnet network mode (-p short option) and is used by default
protocol.testnet.yml belongs to --testnet network mode (-t short option)
protocol.unit_testnet.yml is used by unit tests

If you want to use some non-default configuration directory path, specify --config-path flag:

./bin/neo-go node --config-path /user/yourConfigPath

The file loaded is chosen automatically depending on network mode flag.

Each config file contains two sections. ApplicationConfiguration describes node-related settings and ProtocolConfiguration contains protocol-related settings. See the Application Configuration and Protocol Configuration sections for details on configurable values.

Starting a node

To start Neo node on private network use:

./bin/neo-go node

Or specify a different network with appropriate flag like this:

./bin/neo-go node --mainnet

By default the node will run in foreground using current standard output for logging.

Restarting node services

To restart some of the node services without full node restart, send the SIGHUP signal. List of the services to be restarted on SIGHUP receiving:

Service	Action
RPC server	Restarting with the old configuration and updated TLS certificates

DB import/exports

Node operates using some database as a backend to store blockchain data. NeoGo allows to dump chain into file from the database (when node is stopped) or to import blocks from file into the database (also when node is stopped). Use db command for that.

Smart contracts

Use contract command to create/compile/deploy/invoke/debug smart contracts, see compiler documentation.

Wallet operations

wallet command provides interface for all operations requiring a wallet (except contract deployment and invocations that are done via contract deploy and contract invokefunction). Wallet management (creating wallet, adding addresses/keys to it) is available there as well as wallet-related functions like NEP-17 transfers, NEO votes, multi-signature signing and other things.

Wallet management

Create wallet

Use wallet init command to create new wallet:

./bin/neo-go wallet init -w wallet.nep6

{
        "version": "3.0",
        "accounts": [],
        "scrypt": {
                "n": 16384,
                "r": 8,
                "p": 8
        },
        "extra": {
                "Tokens": null
        }
 }

wallet successfully created, file location is wallet.nep6

where "wallet.nep6" is a wallet file name. This wallet will be empty, to generate a new key pair and add an account for it use -a option:

./bin/neo-go wallet init -w wallet.nep6 -a
Enter the name of the account > Name
Enter passphrase > 
Confirm passphrase > 

{
        "version": "3.0",
        "accounts": [
                {
                        "address": "NMe64G6j6nkPZby26JAgpaCNrn1Ee4wW6E",

                                        }
                                ],
                                "deployed": false
                        },
                        "lock": false,
                        "isDefault": false

        },
        "extra": {
                "Tokens": null
        }
 }

wallet successfully created, file location is wallet.nep6

or use wallet create command to create new account in existing wallet:

./bin/neo-go wallet create -w wallet.nep6
Enter the name of the account > Joe Random
Enter passphrase > 
Confirm passphrase >

Convert Neo Legacy wallets to Neo N3

Use wallet convert to update addresses in NEP-6 wallets used with Neo Legacy. New wallet is specified in -o option, it will have the same keys with Neo N3 addresses.

./bin/neo-go wallet convert -w old.nep6 -o new.nep6

Check wallet contents

wallet dump can be used to see wallet contents in more user-friendly way, its output is the same NEP-6 JSON, but better formatted. You can also decrypt keys at the same time with -d option (you'll be prompted for password):

./bin/neo-go wallet dump -w wallet.nep6 -d
Enter wallet password > 

{
        "version": "3.0",
        "accounts": [
                {
                        "address": "NMe64G6j6nkPZby26JAgpaCNrn1Ee4wW6E",
                        "key": "6PYL2UrC11nWFJWSLiqsPKCNm9u4zr4ttX1ZbV9f2fLDqXsePioVxEsYdg",
                        "label": "Name",
                        "contract": {
                                "script": "DCEDzs1j19gSDDsZTDsogN1Kr+FHXFfkDIUoctcwVhUlgUBBdHR2qg==",
                                "parameters": [
                                        {
                                                "name": "parameter0",
                                                "type": "Signature"
                                        }
                                ],
                                "deployed": false
                        },
                        "lock": false,
                        "isDefault": false
                }
        ],
        "scrypt": {
                "n": 16384,
                "r": 8,
                "p": 8
        },
        "extra": {
                "Tokens": null
        }
 }

You can also get public keys for addresses stored in your wallet with wallet dump-keys command:

./bin/neo-go wallet dump-keys -w wallet.nep6
NMe64G6j6nkPZby26JAgpaCNrn1Ee4wW6E (simple signature contract):
03cecd63d7d8120c3b194c3b2880dd4aafe1475c57e40c852872d7305615258140

Private key export

wallet export allows you to export private key in NEP-2 encrypted or WIF (unencrypted) form (-d flag).

$ ./bin/neo-go wallet export -w wallet.nep6 -d NMe64G6j6nkPZby26JAgpaCNrn1Ee4wW6E
Enter password > 
KyswN8r48dhsvyQJVy97RWnZmKgYLrXv9mCL81Kb4vAagZiCsePv

Private key import

You can import NEP-2 or WIF private key along with verification contract (if it's non-standard):

./bin/neo-go wallet import --wif KwYgW8gcxj1JWJXhPSu4Fqwzfhp5Yfi42mdYmMa4XqK7NJxXUSK7 -w wallet.nep6
Provided WIF was unencrypted. Wallet can contain only encrypted keys.
Enter the name of the account > New Account
Enter passphrase > 
Confirm passphrase >

Special accounts

Multisignature accounts can be imported with wallet import-multisig, you'll need all public keys and one private key to do that. Then you could sign transactions for this multisignature account with imported key.

wallet import-deployed can be used to create wallet accounts for deployed contracts. They also can have WIF keys associated with them (in case your contract's verify method needs some signature).

Neo voting

wallet candidate provides commands to register or unregister a committee (and therefore validator) candidate key:

./bin/neo-go wallet candidate register -a NMe64G6j6nkPZby26JAgpaCNrn1Ee4wW6E -w wallet.json -r http://localhost:20332

You can also vote for candidates if you own NEO:

./bin/neo-go wallet candidate vote -a NMe64G6j6nkPZby26JAgpaCNrn1Ee4wW6E -w wallet.json -r http://localhost:20332 -c 03cecd63d7d8120c3b194c3b2880dd4aafe1475c57e40c852872d7305615258140

NEP-17 token functions

wallet nep17 contains a set of commands to use for NEP-17 tokens.

Token metadata

NEP-17 commands are designed to work with any NEP-17 tokens, but NeoGo needs some metadata for these tokens to function properly. Native NEO or GAS are known to NeoGo by default, but other tokens are not. NeoGo can get this metadata from the specified RPC server, but that's an additional request to make, so if you care about command processing delay you can import token metadata into the wallet with wallet nep17 import command. It'll be stored in the extra section of the wallet.

./bin/neo-go wallet nep17 import -w wallet.nep6 -r http://localhost:20332 -t abcdefc189f30098b0ba6a2eb90b3a925800ffff

You can later see what token data you have in your wallet with wallet nep17 info command and remove tokens you don't need with wallet nep17 remove.

Balance

Getting balance is easy:

./bin/neo-go wallet nep17 balance -w /etc/neo-go/wallet.json -r http://localhost:20332

By default you'll get data for all tokens for the default wallet's address. You can select non-default address with -a flag and/or select token with --token flag (token hash or name can be used as parameter)

Transfers

wallet nep17 transfer creates a token transfer transaction and pushes it to the RPC server (or saves to file if it needs to be signed by multiple parties). For example, transferring 100 GAS looks like this:

./bin/neo-go wallet nep17 transfer -w wallet.nep6 -r http://localhost:20332 --to NjEQfanGEXihz85eTnacQuhqhNnA6LxpLp --from NMe64G6j6nkPZby26JAgpaCNrn1Ee4wW6E --token GAS --amount 100

You can omit --from parameter (default wallet's address will be used in this case), you can add --gas for extra network fee (raising priority of your transaction). And you can save transaction to file with --out instead of sending it to the network if it needs to be signed by multiple parties.

One transfer invocation creates one transaction, but in case you need to do many transfers you can save on network fees by doing multiple token moves with one transaction by using wallet nep17 multitransfer command. It can transfer things from one account to many, its syntax differs from transfer in that you don't have --token, --to and --amount options, but instead you can specify multiple "token:addr:amount" sets after all other options. The same transfer as above can be done with multitransfer by doing this:

./bin/neo-go wallet nep17 multitransfer -w wallet.nep6 -r http://localhost:20332 --from NMe64G6j6nkPZby26JAgpaCNrn1Ee4wW6E GAS:NjEQfanGEXihz85eTnacQuhqhNnA6LxpLp:100

GAS claims

While Neo N3 doesn't have any notion of "claim transaction" and has GAS automatically distributed with every NEO transfer for NEO owners you still won't get GAS if you don't do any actions. So the old wallet claim command was updated to be an easier way to do NEO "flipping" when you send a transaction that transfers all of your NEO to yourself thereby triggering GAS distribution.

Conversion utility

NeoGo provides conversion utility command to reverse data, convert script hashes to/from address, convert data to/from hexadecimal or base64 representation. All of this is done by a single util convert command like this:

$ ./bin/neo-go util convert deee79c189f30098b0ba6a2eb90b3a9258a6c7ff
BE ScriptHash to Address        NgEisvCqr2h8wpRxQb7bVPWUZdbVCY8Uo6

VM CLI

There is a VM CLI that you can use to load/analyze/run/step through some code:

./bin/neo-go vm

Some basic commands available there:

loadgo -- loads smart contract NEO-GO-VM > loadgo TestContract/main.go
ops -- show the opcodes of currently loaded contract
run -- executes currently loaded contract

Use help command to get more detailed information on all possibilities and particular commands. Note that this VM is completely disconnected from the blockchain, so you won't have all interop functionality available for smart contracts (use test invocations via RPC for that).
