Quickstart

01 Install The CLI

Build or install the axiom command, then verify the binary responds.

axiom --help

The CLI reads a local user config, accepts network and RPC overrides, and signs transactions with the configured keypair.

02 Configure Network

axiom config set-rpc https://rpc.truthlinked.org
axiom config show

Use --rpc or TRUTHLINKED_RPC when you need to target a specific node.

axiom --rpc https://rpc.truthlinked.org status

03 Create An Account

axiom keygen --output ~/.truthlinked/default.keys
axiom config set-keypair ~/.truthlinked/default.keys
axiom account-id --from ~/.truthlinked/default.keys

The account ID is derived from the post-quantum public key. Keep the keyfile private; it signs transactions and validator actions.

04 Check Chain Status

axiom status
axiom status --from ~/.truthlinked/default.keys

Status reports chain health, height, finalized height, peers, sync state, and optionally your account balance.

05 Transfer TRTH

axiom transfer \
  --from ~/.truthlinked/default.keys \
  --to <account_id_or_pubkey_hex> \
  --amount 10

Use normal TRTH decimals. Examples: 10, 10.5, 0.001, or 0.0000001. The CLI supports up to 9 decimal places.

axiom transfer --from ~/.truthlinked/default.keys --to-name alice.tl --amount 1

06 Compile, Deploy, Call

Axiom Cells are compiled into .axiom bytecode and paired with a manifest.

axiom compile ./counter.cell
axiom deploy \
  --from ~/.truthlinked/default.keys \
  --bytecode ./counter.axiom \
  --manifest ./counter.manifest.json \
  --initial-balance 0
axiom call \
  --from ~/.truthlinked/default.keys \
  --cell <cell_id> \
  --method increment \
  --gas 500000

Use simulation for read-only checks before spending gas.

axiom call --simulate --from ~/.truthlinked/default.keys --cell <cell_id> --method get
