连接选项
连接到 Cosmos Hub 时,主要需要考虑四种技术:- 全节点:与区块链交互。
- REST 服务器:用于处理 HTTP 调用。
- REST API:使用 REST 服务器提供的可用端点。
- GRPC:通过 gRPC 连接到 Cosmos Hub。
运行全节点
什么是全节点?
全节点是与区块链状态保持同步的网络节点。它通过 RESTful API 向其他人提供区块链数据,也可以通过暴露接口提供数据库副本中的数据。全节点会与区块链中的其他节点保持同步,并将状态存储到磁盘上。如果被查询的区块不在本地磁盘中,全节点可以去区块链上找到该查询数据所在的位置。安装与配置
本节介绍运行并与 Cosmos Hub 全节点交互的步骤。 首先,你需要安装软件。 也可以考虑运行你自己的 Cosmos Hub 全节点。命令行界面
命令行界面(CLI)是访问 Cosmos Hub 并使用 gaia 的最强大工具。 要使用 CLI,你必须在本地机器上安装最新版gaia。
将你的版本与最新发布版本进行比较。
可用命令
运行gaiad 命令后,会显示所有可用的 CLI 命令:
--help 标志获取更多信息。
远程访问 gaiad
如果你选择远程访问全节点和 gaiad,则需要有一个正在运行的全节点,并且在本地机器上安装 gaia。gaiad 是一个工具,使你能够与运行在 Cosmos Hub 网络上的节点交互,无论该节点是否由你自己运行。
要在本地机器上设置 gaiad 并连接到现有的全节点,请使用以下命令:
tcp://localhost:26657 作为地址。
最后,设置你要交互的区块链的 chain-id:
创建密钥对
默认密钥类型是secp256k1 elliptic curve。使用 gaiad keys 命令可以列出密钥并生成新密钥。
NAME:你的密钥名称TYPE:你的密钥类型,始终为local。ADDRESS:你的地址,用于接收资金。PUBKEY:你的公钥,对验证者有用。MNEMONIC:24 个单词组成的助记词。请将这组助记词保存在安全的地方。如果你忘记密码,恢复私钥时需要用到这组助记词。助记词会显示在输出的最后。
--recover 标志可以向密钥环中添加一个通过助记词导入的密钥。
检查你的账户
你可以使用query account 命令查看你的账户。
检查你的余额
使用以下命令查询账户余额:balances 和 pagination 两个键。
每个 balances 条目都包含持有的 amount,并关联一个 denom 标识符。
常见的 $ATOM 代币使用 uatom 作为 denom 标识,其中 1 uatom 等于 0.000001 ATOM。
balances 条目会显示为空数组。
使用 CLI 发送代币
使用 CLI 发送代币:<from_key_or_address>:发送账户的密钥名称或地址。<to_address>:接收方地址。<amount>:该参数接受<value|coinName>格式,例如1000000uatom。
--chain-id:该标志允许你指定链的 ID。不同测试网链和主网链使用不同的 ID。--gas-prices:该标志允许你指定为交易支付的 gas 价格。格式例如0.0025uatom
REST API
REST API 文档列出了所有可用端点,你可以使用它们与你的全节点交互。了解如何在你的全节点上启用 REST API。监听传入交易
推荐的监听传入交易方式是通过以下 HTTP 端点定期查询区块链:/cosmos/bank/v1beta1/balances/{address}
‘Service Providers’ are defined as entities that provide services for end-users that involve some form of interaction with the Cosmos Hub. More specifically, this document is focused on interactions with tokens. Service Providers are expected to act as trusted points of contact to the blockchain for their end-users. This Service Providers section does not apply to wallet builders that want to provide Light Client functionalities. This document describes:
Connection Options
There are four main technologies to consider to connect to the Cosmos Hub:- Full Nodes: Interact with the blockchain.
- REST Server: Serves for HTTP calls.
- REST API: Use available endpoints for the REST Server.
- GRPC: Connect to the Cosmos Hub using gRPC.
Running a Full Node
What is a Full Node?
A Full Node is a network node that syncs up with the state of the blockchain. It provides blockchain data to others by using RESTful APIs, a replica of the database by exposing data with interfaces. A Full Node keeps in syncs with the rest of the blockchain nodes and stores the state on disk. If the full node does not have the queried block on disk the full node can go find the blockchain where the queried data lives.Installation and Configuration
This section describes the steps to run and interact with a full node for the Cosmos Hub. First, you need to install the software. Consider running your own Cosmos Hub Full Node.Command-Line Interface
The command-line interface (CLI) is the most powerful tool to access the Cosmos Hub and use gaia. To use the CLI, you must install the latest version ofgaia on your machine.
Compare your version with the latest release version
Available Commands
All available CLI commands are shown when you run thegaiad command:
--help flag to get further information.
Remote Access to gaiad
When choosing to remote access a Full Node and gaiad, you need a Full Node running and gaia installed on your local machine.gaiad is the tool that enables you to interact with the node that runs on the Cosmos Hub network, whether you run it yourself or not.
To set up gaiad on a local machine and connect to an existing full node, use the following command:
tcp://localhost:26657 as the address.
Finally, set the chain-id of the blockchain you want to interact with:
Create a Key Pair
The default key issecp256k1 elliptic curve. Use the gaiad keys command to list the keys and generate a new key.
NAME: Name of your keyTYPE: Type of your key, alwayslocal.ADDRESS: Your address. Used to receive funds.PUBKEY: Your public key. Useful for validators.MNEMONIC: 24-word phrase. Save this mnemonic somewhere safe. This phrase is required to recover your private key in case you forget the password. The mnemonic is displayed at the end of the output.
--recover flag to add a key that imports a mnemonic to your keyring.
Check your Account
You can view your account by using thequery account command.
Check your Balance
Query the account balance with the command:balances and pagination.
Each balances entry contains an amount held, connected to a denom identifier.
The typical $ATOM token is identified by the denom uatom. Where 1 uatom is 0.000001 ATOM.
balances entry is shown as an empty array.
Send Coins Using the CLI
To send coins using the CLI:<from_key_or_address>: Key name or address of sending account.<to_address>: Address of the recipient.<amount>: This parameter accepts the format<value|coinName>, such as1000000uatom.
--chain-id: This flag allows you to specify the id of the chain. There are different ids for different testnet chains and mainnet chains.--gas-prices: This flag allows you to specify the gas prices you pay for the transaction. The format is used as0.0025uatom
REST API
The REST API documents list all the available endpoints that you can use to interact with your full node. Learn how to enable the REST API on your full node.Listen for Incoming Transactions
The recommended way to listen for incoming transactions is to periodically query the blockchain by using the following HTTP endpoint:/cosmos/bank/v1beta1/balances/{address}
