Access Your Participant Account

When the chain‑node container starts for the first time, it automatically creates an account (wallet) and its keys. Those keys are what you use for any account‑level action, such as transferring funds.

You can interact with the keys in two ways, we recommend Option 1 for simplicity:

Option 1: Access Account from Container

Connect to the server with the network node and connect to the container node (created from ghcr.io/product-science/inferenced image): 

docker exec -it node /bin/sh
Now you can perform the necessary operations — for example, Query Balance, Send Coins, Check Transaction Status. The --node and --keyring-backend arguments are not required, since you’re already on the participant node and operating within it.

Option 2: Export Keys to Local Computer

Another option is to install inferenced according to the instruction, copy keys to your local computer, and execute all commands locally.

  • test keyring backend is used during the TestNet.

Connect to the node container at the server (created from ghcr.io/product-science/inferenced image): 

docker exec -it node /bin/sh

Export the key with name KEY_NAME (you can find it via inferenced keys list inside the container): 

inferenced keys export $KEY_NAME --keyring-backend test
You'll be asked to enter a passphrase, which then will be used to import the key at your local machine.

Copy keys: 

-----BEGIN TENDERMINT PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----END TENDERMINT PRIVATE KEY-----
and paste to local file keys.pem.

Then, to import keys at your local machine: 

inferenced keys import join keys.pem --keyring-backend test

Then follow the instructions, adding:

  • --node argument which points to the NODE_RPC_URL of the chain node you want to use as an entry point (--node http://195.242.13.239:26657 for genesis node)
  • --keyring-backend test to use test keyring

Note

If you've installed inferenced locally, ensure it’s in your PATH environment variable, or run it directly from its directory (e.g., inferenced).
