Interacting with Nyx Chain and Smart Contracts

There are two options for interacting with the blockchain to send tokens or interact with deployed smart contracts:

• Nym-CLI tool
• nyxd binary

Nym-CLI tool (recommended in most cases)

The nym-cli tool is a binary offering a simple interface for interacting with deployed smart contract (for instance, bonding and unbonding a mix node from the CLI), as well as creating and managing accounts and keypairs, sending tokens, and querying the blockchain.

Instructions on how to do so can be found on the nym-cli docs page

Nyxd binary

The nyxd binary, although more complex to compile and use, offers the full range of commands availiable to users of CosmosSDK chains. Use this if you are (e.g.) wanting to perform more granular queries about transactions from the CLI.

You can use the instructions on how to do this on from the gaiad docs page (opens in a new tab).
