CLI. Key import, sending tokens
Using CLI
1. To access Mina CLI commands :
This step only needs to be done if you started the node using Docker. If you haven't used Docker, skip straight to step 2.
sudo docker exec -it mina bash
The CLI is exited with the command:
exit
2. Checking status, node status:
mina client status
It looks like this:

Wait for the node to sync. The Sync status:
field should say Synced
. If the status says Catched
, then you need to wait a little longer. After that you can start importing your keys.
3. Importing keys
Exporting the private key:
export KEYPATH=$HOME/keys/my-wallet
We import an account with a key with the following command:
mina accounts import -privkey-path $HOME/keys/my-wallet
The list of your accounts can be viewed with the command below:
mina accounts list
4. Account unlocking:
First, let's export the Public Key:
export MINA_PUBLIC_KEY=$(cat $HOME/keys/my-wallet.pub)
Let's unlock the account so that you can move tokens:
mina accounts unlock -public-key $MINA_PUBLIC_KEY
In the password input field, write your password from the key and press ENTER.
5. Transactions
Now you can send tokens.
You need to add:
sender
-sender
recipient
-receiver
transaction fee
-fee
the number of tokens sent
-amount
mina client send-payment \
-sender B62qnJHBeVJqWamtDhWDPwrX7Y5jiXKcMKTuvug9LQ8ictwNTWN7YvJ \
-receiver B62qqV16g8s744GHM6Dph1uhW4fggYwyvtDnVSoRUyYqNvTir3Rqqzx \
-fee 0.01 \
-amount 2
Done. Tokens have been sent.
5.1. Transaction with -memo
(with signature)
-memo
(with signature)You need to add:
signature
-memo
Your text for the transaction.
mina client send-payment \
-sender B62qnJHBeVJqWamtDhWDPwrX7Y5jiXKcMKTuvug9LQ8ictwNTWN7YvJ \
-receiver B62qqV16g8s744GHM6Dph1uhW4fggYwyvtDnVSoRUyYqNvTir3Rqqzx \
-fee 0.01 \
-amount 2 \
-memo "Your text"
Done. Tokens have been sent.
6. Check the balance of tokens
The token balance is checked by the command below with your token ID:
mina client get-balance \
-public-key $MINA_PUBLIC_KEY
We will see the balance of mina tokens.
7. Delegation transaction
You need to add:
sender
-sender
recipient
-receiver
transaction fee
-fee
Flag -amount
not specified, because the entire balance of the address is delegated.
mina client delegate-stake \
-sender B62qnJHBeVJqWamtDhWDPwrX7Y5jiXKcMKTuvug9LQ8ictwNTWN7YvJ \
-receiver B62qqV16g8s744GHM6Dph1uhW4fggYwyvtDnVSoRUyYqNvTir3Rqqzx \
-fee 0.01
Other Commands (NOT USED CURRENTLY)
Attention! Points from 1 to 4 are not currently used.
1. Token creation
Now let's create tokens:
mina client create-token \
-sender $MINA_PUBLIC_KEY
In response, we get the following:
Dispatched create new token command with ID 2cUDm3QoJ14znWj5LxN8hjwwuvtwi9FGXcy56i4dPvYizPNwr3V9c9ePYxy3pJKjgogNx28jwHhqupi6wHFgXBmU5iX27iK1zUvJarj6wJsUG8segWXc4LGPed66YbYk3u9HiWw4v8cYYEqcy1mU6hqfj5JPMPthEBifxUMHZTqCwZmYWSdiERxB6PtPEdXVraWaYPVU4Q8vtpSN7oSTK1AXyXLYYR835CBrNSmgbLvoBDNroCKwcQrzw4b76BFNLe6EuWvBcMgX6npeeAbPg8z8iJ4PKz3gA64o1Y72kCrqyqus718LwXcmp5jxsYvJB2CJHzyZ
2. Get the ID of the tokens
To carry out the following operations, we need to know the ID of the tokens. We get it with the following command:
mina client get-tokens \
-public-key $MINA_PUBLIC_KEY
In response, we get the following:
Accounts are held for token IDs:
1
3. Mint tokens
To mince new tokens, you need to run the mint-tokens
command. 1,000 tokens will be created in the account of the sender of the transaction under token ID 2.
mina client mint-tokens \
-sender $MINA_PUBLIC_KEY \
-token 2 \
-amount 10
Let's check the balance with the command (the balance will not appear immediately, you need to wait about 5 minutes):
mina client get-balance \
-token 2 \
-public-key $MINA_PUBLIC_KEY
After a while, we should see 1,000 coda tokens on our balance.
mina client get-balance \
-token 2 \
-public-key $MINA_PUBLIC_KEY
Balance: 1000 tokens
4. Sending tokens
Now you can send tokens. To do this, we first need to add a recipient with the command below:
mina client create-token-account \
-sender $MINA_PUBLIC_KEY \
-receiver B62qoDWfBZUxKpaoQCoFqr12wkaY84FrhxXNXzgBkMUi2Tz4K8kBDiv \
-token 2
For example, let's send 50 tokens.
In the -memo "My First TX"
field, instead of My First TX
, you can enter anything you want. Or leave it as it is.
mina client send-payment \
-sender $MINA_PUBLIC_KEY \
-receiver B62qoDWfBZUxKpaoQCoFqr12wkaY84FrhxXNXzgBkMUi2Tz4K8kBDiv \
-token 2 \
-fee 0.1 \
-amount 50
Done. Tokens have been sent.
