🔑 Key management

Add new key

babylond keys add wallet

Recover existing key

babylond keys add wallet --recover

Create a BLS key

Validators are expected to submit a BLS signature at the end of each epoch. To do that, a validator needs to have a BLS key pair to sign information with.

Using the address that you created on the previous step.

babylond create-bls-key $(babylond keys show wallet -a)

This command will create a BLS key and add it to the $HOME/.babylond/config/priv_validator_key.json. This is the same file that stores the private key that the validator uses to sign blocks. Please ensure that this file is secured properly.

After creating a BLS key, you need to restart your node to load this key into memory.

sudo systemctl restart babylond

List all keys

babylond keys list

Delete key

babylond keys delete wallet

Export key to the file

babylond keys export wallet

Import key from the file

babylond keys import wallet wallet.backup

Query wallet balance

babylond q bank balances $(babylond keys show wallet -a)

👷 Validator management

Please make sure you have adjusted moniker, identity, details and website to match your values.
