Terra2 CLI Cheatsheet

This cheatsheet provides a collection of commonly used CLI commands for Terra2 node operators. It’s designed for easy copying and pasting, with a few conventions:

  • Capitalized words are placeholders.
  • Use specific endpoints for consistency.
  • Always include --chain-id and --node flags.
  • Query commands output in JSON format and are piped through jq.
