Simulator CLI Reference

Intro

The simulator gives you complete control of a private Chia blockchain, including the ability to advance and revert blocks as needed.

This page includes a comprehensive list of Chia's Command Line Interface commands for using the simulator.

For more info, see the following:


Reference

create

Functionality: Set up a Chia Simulator

Usage: chia dev sim create [OPTIONS]

Options:

Short CommandLong CommandTypeRequiredDescription
-f--fingerprintINTEGERFalseUse your fingerprint to skip the key prompt
-r--reward_addressTEXTFalseUse this address instead of the default farming address
-p--plot-directoryTEXTFalseSet the directory in which to create/store plots (Default: 'simulator/plots')
-m--mnemonicTEXTFalseAdd a new key to the keychain using the specified mnemonic
-a--auto-farmBOOLEANFalseEnable or Disable auto farming (Default: True)
-h--helpNoneFalseShow a help message and exit
Example 1

Use all default values, with no keys present on the local machine.

In this case, a new key will be created, along with several k-19 plots. Finally, the simulator will be started and the genesis block will be farmed:

chia dev sim create

Response:

Using this Directory: /home/user/.chia/simulator/main

No keys in keychain. Press 'q' to quit, or press any other key to generate a new key.

autofarm

Functionality: Enable or disable auto farming on transaction submission

Usage: chia dev sim autofarm [OPTIONS] [on|off]

Options:

Short CommandLong CommandTypeRequiredDescription
-h--helpNoneFalseShow a help message and exit

Auto farming is enabled by default. The examples will show you how to disable/enable it.

Example 1

Disable auto farming:

chia dev sim autofarm off

Response:

Auto farming is now off
Example 2

Enable auto farming:

chia dev sim autofarm on

Response:

Auto farming is now on

farm

Functionality: Farm one or more blocks

Usage: chia dev sim farm [OPTIONS]

Options:

Short CommandLong CommandTypeRequiredDescription
-b--blocksINTEGERFalseNumber of blocks to create (Default: 1)
-n--non-transactionNoneFalseEnable to allow non-transaction blocks (Default: disabled)
-a--target-addressTEXTFalseBlock reward address. If not specified, the default address will be used
-h--helpNoneFalseShow a help message and exit
Example 1

Farm one transaction block using the default values:

chia dev sim farm

Response:

Farmed 1 Transaction blocks
Block Height is now: 2
Example 2

Farm multiple transaction blocks:

chia dev sim farm -b 3

Response:

Farmed 3 Transaction blocks
Block Height is now: 5
Example 3

Farm multiple blocks (transaction or non-transaction):

chia dev sim farm -b 3 -n

Response:

Farmed 3 blocks
Block Height is now: 8
Example 4

Farm a transaction block and send the reward to a different address.

(WARNING: As of this writing in September 2022, this doesn't actually work. The primary address is still used. For more info, see: https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-dev-tools/issues/48)

First, check the state of the primary wallet:

chia wallet show

The wallet contains the prefarm (21 million TXCH), as well as 12 TXCH from farming rewards:

Wallet height: 8
Sync status: Synced
Balances, fingerprint: 3446212044

Chia Wallet:
-Total Balance: 21000012.0 txch (21000012000000000000 mojo)
-Pending Total Balance: 21000012.0 txch (21000012000000000000 mojo)
-Spendable: 21000012.0 txch (21000012000000000000 mojo)
-Type: STANDARD_WALLET
-Wallet ID: 1

Next, farm the block. For this example we'll send the reward to the burn address:

chia dev sim farm -a txch1qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqm6ksh7qddh

Response:

Farmed 1 Transaction blocks
Block Height is now: 9

To verify that the reward was not sent to the default wallet, show its status again:

chia wallet show

Response:

Wallet height: 9
Sync status: Synced
Balances, fingerprint: 3446212044

Chia Wallet:
-Total Balance: 21000014.0 txch (21000014000000000000 mojo)
-Pending Total Balance: 21000014.0 txch (21000014000000000000 mojo)
-Spendable: 21000014.0 txch (21000014000000000000 mojo)
-Type: STANDARD_WALLET
-Wallet ID: 1

revert

Functionality: Revert existing transactions and advance the chain with the reverted state intact

Usage: chia dev sim revert [OPTIONS]

Options:

Short CommandLong CommandTypeRequiredDescription
-b--blocksINTEGERFalseNumber of blocks to go back (Default: 1)
-n--new_blocksINTEGERFalseNumber of new blocks to add during a reorg (Default: 1)
-r--resetNoneFalseEnable to revert all transactions to the genesis block (Default: disabled)
-f--forceNoneFalseEnable to forcefully delete blocks, this is not a reorg but might be needed in very special circumstances. Note: Use with caution, this will break all wallets (Default: disabled)
-d--disable_promptNoneFalseDisable confirmation prompt when force reverting, only works in conjunction with -f (Default: prompt is enabled)
-h--helpNoneFalseShow a help message and exit
Example 1

Revert the transactions from one block and advance the chain by one block:

chia dev sim revert

Response:

All transactions in Block: 9 and above were successfully reverted.
Block Height is now: 11
Example 2

Revert transactions from three blocks and advance the chain by five blocks:

chia dev sim revert -b 3 -n 5

The chain was on block 12 prior to this command. Blocks 9 and above will have their transactions reverted, and the chain will advance to block 17:

All transactions in Block: 9 and above were successfully reverted.
Block Height is now: 17
Example 3

Revert all transactions in the blockchain (note that this could take several minutes):

chia dev sim revert -r

Response:

All transactions in Block: 16 and above were successfully reverted.
Block Height is now: 18

start

Functionality: Start service groups

Usage: chia dev sim start [OPTIONS]

Options:

Short CommandLong CommandTypeRequiredDescription
-r--restartNoneFalseEnable to restart running services (Default: disabled)
-w--walletNoneFalseEnable to start wallet (Default: disabled)
-h--helpNoneFalseShow a help message and exit
Example 1

-f--fingerprintINTEGERFalseGet detailed information on this fingerprint.
-k--show_keyNoneFalseEnable to show detailed key information, including seed phrase (Default: disabled)
-c--show_coinsNoneFalseEnable to show all unspent coins (Default: disabled). When enabled, this does not show reward coins unless used in conjunction with -i
-i--include_rewardsNoneFalseEnable to show rewards coins (Default: disabled). This option must be used in conjunction with -c
-a--show_addressesNoneFalseEnable to show the balances of all addresses (Default: disabled)
-h--helpNoneFalseShow a help message and exit
Example 1

Show the status using the default values:
