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.

Refer to the node configuration documentation for detailed configuration file description.

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.

Node synchronization

Most of the services (state validation, oracle, consensus and RPC if configured with StartWhenSynchronized option) are only started after the node is completely synchronizaed because running them before that is either pointless or even dangerous. The node considers itself to be fully synchronized with the network if it has more than MinPeers neighbours and if at least 2/3 of them are known to have a height less than or equal to the current height of the node.

Restarting node services

To restart some 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. For all commands requiring read-only wallet (like dump-keys) a special - path can be used to read the wallet from the standard input.

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": [
                {

                                        }
                                ],
                                "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 (notice that it doesn't do anything to your assets, it just allows to reuse the old key on N3 network).

./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 >

        },
        "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

Do not provide candidate argument to perform unvoting:

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

Getting data from chain

Node height/validated height

query height returns the latest block and validated state height:

$ ./bin/neo-go query height -r http://localhost:20332
Latest block: 11926
Validated state: 11926

Transaction status

query tx provides convenient wrapper over RPC calls to query transaction status.

./bin/neo-go query tx --rpc-endpoint http://localhost:20332 aaf87628851e0c03ee086ff88596bc24de87082e9e5c73d75bb1c740d1d68088
Hash:			aaf87628851e0c03ee086ff88596bc24de87082e9e5c73d75bb1c740d1d68088
OnChain:		true
BlockHash:		fabcd46e93b8f4e1bc5689e3e0cc59704320494f7a0265b91ae78b4d747ee93b
Success:		true

OnChain is true if transaction was included in block and Success is true if it was executed successfully.

Committee members

query commitee returns a list of current committee members:

$ ./bin/neo-go query committee -r http://localhost:20332

Voter data

query voter returns additional data about NEO holder: amount of NEO he has, candidate he voted for (if any) and block number of the last transactions involving NEO on this account:

$ ./bin/neo-go query voter -r http://localhost:20332 Nj91C8TxQSxW1jCE1ytFre6mg5qxTypg1Y
        Voted: 0214baf0ceea3a66f17e7e1e839ea25fd8bed6cd82e6bb6e68250189065f44ff01 (Nj91C8TxQSxW1jCE1ytFre6mg5qxTypg1Y)
        Amount : 2000000
        Block: 3970

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.

To add optional data transfer parameter specify data positional argument after all required flags. Refer to wallet nep17 transfer --help command description for details.

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.

NEP-11 token functions

wallet nep11 contains a set of commands to use for NEP-11 tokens. Token metadata related commands (info, import and remove) works the same way as for NEP-17 tokens. The syntax of other commands is very similar to NEP-17 commands with the following adjustments.

Balance

Specify token ID via --id flag to call divisible NEP-11 balanceOf method:

./bin/neo-go wallet nep11 balance -w /etc/neo-go/wallet.json --token 67ecb7766dba4acf7c877392207984d1b4d15731 --id R5OREI5BU+Uyd23/MuV/xzI3F+Q= -r http://localhost:20332

By default, no token ID specified, i.e. common balanceOf method is called.

Transfers

Specify token ID via --id flag to transfer NEP-11 token. Specify amount to transfer divisible NEP-11 token:

./bin/neo-go wallet nep11 transfer -w wallet.nep6 -r http://localhost:20332 --to NjEQfanGEXihz85eTnacQuhqhNnA6LxpLp --from NMe64G6j6nkPZby26JAgpaCNrn1Ee4wW6E --token 67ecb7766dba4acf7c877392207984d1b4d15731 --id R5OREI5BU+Uyd23/MuV/xzI3F+Q= --amount 5

By default, no amount is specified, i.e. the whole token is transferred for non-divisible tokens and 100% of the token is transferred if there is only one owner of this token for divisible tokens.

Unlike NEP-17 tokens functionality, multitransfer command currently not supported on NEP-11 tokens.

Tokens Of

To print token IDs owned by the specified owner, use tokensOf command with --token and --address flags:

./bin/neo-go wallet nep11 tokensOf -r http://localhost:20332 --token 67ecb7766dba4acf7c877392207984d1b4d15731 --address NbrUYaZgyhSkNoRo9ugRyEMdUZxrhkNaWB

Owner Of

For non-divisible NEP-11 tokens only. To print owner of non-divisible NEP-11 token use ownerOf method, specify token hash via --token flag and token ID via --id flag:

./bin/neo-go wallet nep11 ownerOf -r http://localhost:20332 --token 67ecb7766dba4acf7c877392207984d1b4d15731 --id R5OREI5BU+Uyd23/MuV/xzI3F+Q=

Optional methods

1. Properties

If NEP-11 token supports optional properties method, specify token hash via --token flag and token ID via --id flag to print properties:

./bin/neo-go wallet nep11 properties -r http://localhost:20332 --token 67ecb7766dba4acf7c877392207984d1b4d15731 --id 7V5gjT2WwjP3pBCQMKGMfyZsp/w=
2. Tokens

If NEP-11 token supports optional tokens method, specify token hash via --token flag to print the list of token IDs minted by the specified NFT:

./bin/neo-go wallet nep11 tokens -r http://localhost:20332 --token 67ecb7766dba4acf7c877392207984d1b4d15731

Conversion utility

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

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).
