Getting Started
To start a rest server, we need to specify the following parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| chain-id | string | null | true | chain id of the full node to connect |
| node | URL | "tcp://localhost:46657" | true | address of the full node to connect |
| laddr | URL | "tcp://localhost:1317" | true | address to run the rest server on |
| trust-node | bool | "false" | true | Whether this LCD is connected to a trusted full node |
| trust-store | DIRECTORY | "$HOME/.lcd" | false | directory for save checkpoints and validator sets |
Sample command:
gaiacli light-client --chain-id=test --laddr=tcp://localhost:1317 --node tcp://localhost:46657 --trust-node=false
Gaia Light Use Cases
LCD could be very helpful for related service providers. For a wallet service provider, LCD could make transaction faster and more reliable in the following cases.
Create an account
First you need to get a new seed phrase :get-seed
After having new seed, you could generate a new account with it : keys
Transfer a token
The first step is to build an asset transfer transaction. Here we can post all necessary parameters to /create_transfer to get the unsigned transaction byte array. Refer to this link for detailed operation: build transaction
Then sign the returned transaction byte array with users' private key. Finally broadcast the signed transaction. Refer to this link for how to broadcast the signed transaction: broadcast transaction
