Dai 1.0

Introduction - Stability - Core - CLI - Query API

Dai CLI

The Dai CLI is a client for command-line interaction with the core system contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. It’s built on Seth, the unix inspired, blockchain automation & open source finance toolkit, maintained by the DappHub collective.

Installing

Dai is part of the dapp.tools suite. Install the suite with:

$ curl https://dapp.tools/install | sh

Then install the dai package with:

$ dapp pkg install dai

Upgrading

To upgrade Dai to the latest release, run:

$ dapp pkg update dai

Configuration

Dai accepts the following options, which can be set as variables or passed as flags:

-F --from  ETH_FROM      sender address
-G --gas   ETH_GAS       gas quantity
-C --chain SETH_CHAIN    remote node target (ethlive or kovan)
   --cup   DAI_CUP       cup ID for cup operations

These variables can also be exported via bash script at ~/.sethrc along with any other Seth configuration.

Connecting to the blockchain

By default, Dai assumes a local RPC node running on the default port.

It can also be run against a remote Infura node from a machine with no local copy of the blockchain using the --chain flag.

Ethlive dai system status:

dai --chain ethlive status

or access the Dai deployment on the Kovan testnet:

dai --chain kovan status

Example usage

# Set CDP owner wallet
export ETH_FROM=0x1111111111111111111111111111111111111111

$ dai -C ethlive open
Opening cup...
Waiting for transaction receipt...
Opened cup 7

export SETH_CHAIN=ethlive

$ dai --cup 7 lock 10.0

$ dai --cup 7 draw 500.0

$ dai --cup 7 cup
