Creating transactions
The Lisk Core node needs to run in order to sign transactions. If you want to create transactions without having ht enode running, use the |
$ lisk-core start
Transactions can be created by using the transaction:create
command:
Create transaction which can be broadcasted to the network. Note: fee and amount should be in Beddows!!
USAGE
$ lisk-core transaction:create MODULEID ASSETID FEE
ARGUMENTS
MODULEID Registered transaction module id.
ASSETID Registered transaction asset id.
FEE Transaction fee in Beddows.
OPTIONS
-a, --asset=asset Creates transaction with specific asset information
-d, --data-path=data-path Directory path to specify where node data is stored. Environment variable "LISK_DATA_PATH" can also be used.
-j, --json Print the transaction in JSON format
-n, --network=network [default: mainnet] Default network config to use. Environment variable "LISK_NETWORK" can also be used.
-p, --passphrase=passphrase Specifies a source for your secret passphrase. Command will prompt you for input if this option is not set.
Examples:
- --passphrase='my secret passphrase' (should only be used where security is not important)
-s, --sender-publickey=sender-publickey Creates the transaction with provided sender publickey, when passphrase is not provided
--network-identifier=network-identifier Network identifier defined for the network or main | test for the Lisk Network.
