Service Creation Cheat Sheet ​

Pre-Requisites​

  1. Make sure to install the pocketd CLI.
  2. Make sure you know how to create and fund a new account.

How do I query for all existing onchain Services?​

You can query for all services like so:

pocketd query service all-services --node https://shannon-testnet-grove-rpc.beta.poktroll.com --output json | jq

Here is an example of the output on Beta TestNet as of writing this document:

{
  "service": [
    {
      "id": "svc_8ymf38",
      "name": "name for svc_8ymf38",
      "compute_units_per_relay": "7",
      "owner_address": "pokt1aqsr8ejvwwnjwx3ppp234l586kl06cvas7ag6w"
    },
    {
      "id": "svc_drce83",
      "name": "name for svc_drce83",
      "compute_units_per_relay": "7",
      "owner_address": "pokt1mgtf9k4k3pze57gwp3qsne88jmvqkc37t7vd9g"
    },
    {
      "id": "svc_jk07qh",
      "name": "name for svc_jk07qh",
      "compute_units_per_relay": "7",
      "owner_address": "pokt1mwynfsnzesc38f98zrk08pttjn48tu7crc2p09"
    }
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "total": "3"
  }
}

How do I create a new service?​

You can use the add-service command to create a new service like so:

pocketd tx service add-service ${SERVICE_ID} "${SERVICE_NAME_OR_DESCRIPTION}" ${COMPUTE_UNITS_PER_RELAY} \
  --fees 1upokt --from ${SERVICE_OWNER} --chain-id ${CHAIN_ID}

Here is a concrete copy-pasta assuming you have created and funded a new account called $USER:

pocketd tx service add-service "svc-$USER" "service description for $USER" 13 \
    --node https://shannon-testnet-grove-rpc.beta.poktroll.com \
    --fees 1upokt --from $USER --chain-id pocket-beta

Optionally, you can add some more flags to be ultra-verbose about your local environment:

pocketd tx service add-service "svc-$USER" "service description for $USER" 13 \
    --node https://shannon-testnet-grove-rpc.beta.poktroll.com \
    --fees 1upokt --from $USER --chain-id pocket-beta \
    --home ~/.pocket --keyring-backend test \
    --yes --output json

How do I learn more about interacting with Services?​
