# und genesis gentx
Generate a genesis tx carrying a self delegation
# Synopsis
Generate a genesis transaction that creates a validator with a self-delegation, that is signed by the key in the Keyring referenced by a given name. A node ID and Bech32 consensus pubkey may optionally be provided. If they are omitted, they will be retrieved from the priv_validator.json file. The following default parameters are included:
delegation amount: 100000000stake
commission rate: 0.1
commission max rate: 0.2
commission max change rate: 0.01
minimum self delegation: 1
Example:
$ und gentx my-key-name 1000000stake --home=/path/to/home/dir --keyring-backend=os --chain-id=test-chain-1
--moniker="myvalidator"
--commission-max-change-rate=0.01
--commission-max-rate=1.0
--commission-rate=0.07
--details="..."
--security-contact="..."
--website="..."
und genesis gentx [key_name] [amount] [flags]
# Options
-a, --account-number uint The account number of the signing account (offline mode only)
--amount string Amount of coins to bond
--aux Generate aux signer data instead of sending a tx
-b, --broadcast-mode string Transaction broadcasting mode (sync|async) (default "sync")
--chain-id string The network chain ID
--commission-max-change-rate string The maximum commission change rate percentage (per day)
--commission-max-rate string The maximum commission rate percentage
--commission-rate string The initial commission rate percentage
--details string The validator's (optional) details
--dry-run ignore the --gas flag and perform a simulation of a transaction, but don't broadcast it (when enabled, the local Keybase is not accessible)
--fee-granter string Fee granter grants fees for the transaction
--fee-payer string Fee payer pays fees for the transaction instead of deducting from the signer
--fees string Fees to pay along with transaction; eg: 10uatom
--from string Name or address of private key with which to sign
--gas string gas limit to set per-transaction; set to "auto" to calculate sufficient gas automatically. Note: "auto" option doesn't always report accurate results. Set a valid coin value to adjust the result. Can be used instead of "fees". (default 200000)
--gas-adjustment float adjustment factor to be multiplied against the estimate returned by the tx simulation; if the gas limit is set manually this flag is ignored (default 1)
--gas-prices string Gas prices in decimal format to determine the transaction fee (e.g. 0.1uatom)
--generate-only Build an unsigned transaction and write it to STDOUT (when enabled, the local Keybase only accessed when providing a key name)
-h, --help help for gentx
--home string The application home directory (default "/home/hodge/.und_mainchain")
--identity string The (optional) identity signature (ex. UPort or Keybase)
--ip string The node's public P2P IP (default "10.0.0.203")
--keyring-backend string Select keyring's backend (os|file|kwallet|pass|test|memory) (default "os")
--keyring-dir string The client Keyring directory; if omitted, the default 'home' directory will be used
--ledger Use a connected Ledger device
--min-self-delegation string The minimum self delegation required on the validator
--moniker string The validator's (optional) moniker
--node string <host>:<port> to tendermint rpc interface for this chain (default "tcp://localhost:26657")
--node-id string The node's NodeID
--note string Note to add a description to the transaction (previously --memo)
--offline Offline mode (does not allow any online functionality)
--output-document string Write the genesis transaction JSON document to the given file instead of the default location
--p2p-port uint The node's public P2P port (default 26656)
--pubkey string The validator's Protobuf JSON encoded public key
--security-contact string The validator's (optional) security contact email
-s, --sequence uint The sequence number of the signing account (offline mode only)
--sign-mode string Choose sign mode (direct|amino-json|direct-aux), this is an advanced feature
--timeout-height uint Set a block timeout height to prevent the tx from being committed past a certain height
--tip string Tip is the amount that is going to be transferred to the fee payer on the target chain. This flag is only valid when used with --aux, and is ignored if the target chain didn't enable the TipDecorator
--website string The validator's (optional) website
-y, --yes Skip tx broadcasting prompt confirmation
