Sei Technical Reference

This guide serves as a comprehensive reference for Sei node operators and validators, providing detailed command syntax, configuration parameters, and troubleshooting procedures. For API documentation, please refer to our API Documentation section.

Command Line Interface Reference

The seid binary provides extensive functionality for managing your Sei node. Understanding these commands is essential for effective node operation and troubleshooting.

Node Management Commands

These commands help you control and monitor your node’s operation:

If you see an error such as panic: recovered: runtime error: integer divide by zero it means you can’t start nodes straight from the genesis file. Instead, sync to the block tip via state sync or using a snapshot.

# Start the node
seid start [flags]

# Show node status
seid status

# Show validator consensus key
seid tendermint show-validator

# Query node information
seid query node info

Key Management

Proper key management is crucial for security. These commands help you manage your keys effectively:

# Create new key
seid keys add <name> [flags]

# List all keys
seid keys list

# Delete key
seid keys delete <name>

# Export key (encrypted)
seid keys export <name>

# Import key
seid keys import <name> <keyfile>

# Show key address
seid keys show <name> -a

Transaction Commands

These commands allow you to interact with the blockchain:

# Send tokens
seid tx bank send <from-key> <to-address> <amount>usei [flags]

# Delegate tokens
seid tx staking delegate <validator-addr> <amount>usei --from <delegator-key>

# Withdraw rewards
seid tx distribution withdraw-rewards <validator-addr> --from <delegator-key>

# Edit validator
seid tx staking edit-validator [flags] --from <validator-key>
