ITC Command

The itc command starts an interactive JavaScript environment that connects to the Intelchain Blockchain node. This interactive shell allows you to run JavaScript commands and interact with the blockchain in real-time.

Commmand Syntax

./itc command [flags]

Displays help information for the command

-h

--help

Specifies the network to connect to (e.g., mainnet, testnet). Default: mainnet

--net string

Options Inherited from Parent Commands

  • '--file string' -> Specifies a file path for input when the command requires it
  • -e, --ledger → Enables the use of a Ledger hardware wallet for transaction signing.
  • --no-latest → Prevents appending "latest" to RPC parameters, useful for specific blockchain states.
  • --no-pretty → Disables pretty-print formatting for JSON outputs, making them compact and machine-readable.
  • -n, --node string → Specifies the host node for blockchain communication. Default: http://localhost:9500
  • -r, --rpc-prefix string → Sets the RPC prefix for commands interacting with the blockchain. Default: itc
  • -v, --verbose → Outputs detailed debug information, equivalent to setting the ITC_ALL_DEBUG = true environment variable.

Usage Examples

Start the interactive JavaScript environment

Launch the interactive shell to run JavaScript commands and interact with the blockchain :

./itc command

Specify a different network

Connect to a different network, such as the testnet :

./itc command --net testnet

Use a Ledger hardware wallet

Start the command with the Ledger hardware wallet for secure transactions :

./itc command --ledger

Connect to a custom node

Connect to a specific Intelchain node :

./itc command -n http://remote-node:9500
