Providing Keys to the CLI

Keys can be provided to the CLI either at runtime via flags or through environment variables.

Using Keystore Files

At Runtime:

otcli [SUB-COMMAND-1] [SUB-COMMAND-2] \
    --keystore <KEYSTORE_PATH> \
    --keystore-password <DECRYPT_PASSWORD>

  • KEYSTORE_PATH: Path to the JSON-formatted Keystore file.

  • DECRYPT_PASSWORD: Password to decrypt the Keystore file. If not supplied, you will be prompted to enter it.

Using Environment Variables:

Set these variables in your .env file:

.env
WALLET_KEYSTORE_PATH=.keystore/your-keystore-file.json
WALLET_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=your_password
OPERATOR_ADDRESS=0xabc... # Required when using a separate Consensus Key
Using Raw Keys

At Runtime:

otcli [SUB-COMMAND-1] [SUB-COMMAND-2] \
    --private-key <RAW_PRIVATE_KEY>

Using Environment Variables:

Set these variables in your .env file:

.env
PRIVATE_KEY=81da2278784f...
OPERATOR_ADDRESS=0xabc... # Required when using a separate Consensus Key

Browser wallet support

Othentic CLI supports using browser wallets like Metamask, SAFE, wallet connect etc.

  • This feature is particularly useful when using multisig account or scenarios where the private key can not be pasted directly.

  • This feature can be used across all CLI commands seamlessly.

To use this, include the --browser-sign flag when running any CLI command.

For reference, see this guide on deploying an AVS through browser wallet.

  • Use the --help or -h flag with any command to view usage details.
