Transactions

Your node doesn't have to be running at the same time as the sender to send or receive a transaction.

Send a transaction

Interactive mode

Send a transaction by running the following command using your default account:

ironfish accounts:pay

If you want to send a transaction from a different account, you can use the `-f` flag.

E.g.

ironfish accounts:pay -f MyOtherAccount

Noninteractive mode

Run ironfish accounts:pay --help to see the different options available.

E.g. To send 2 coins from the account Savings

ironfish accounts:pay -a 2 -o 0.00000001 -t 997c...7fc52ed -f Savings

Receive a transaction

To receive a transaction, you just need to communicate the public key of your account to the sender. If you don't know your public key, run the following command:

ironfish accounts:address

E.g. To get the public key of a different account on your node

ironfish accounts:address Savings

Balance

You can check your balance at any time by running the following command:

ironfish accounts:balance
