Configuration

Console loads defaults from config.default.jsonc and merges user overrides from config.jsonc.

Common config locations:

• config.default.jsonc in the repository
• config.jsonc in the current working directory
• ~/.adm/config.jsonc created by adm init

Create User Config

node bin/adamant.js init

The command prints the created config path and an editor command. Edit the file before sending transactions on mainnet.

Important Fields

Field	Purpose
passphrase	Default ADM account passphrase used for local signing
network	Active network, either mainnet or testnet
networks.<network>.nodes	ADAMANT node list consumed by adamant-api
rpc.port	Local JSON-RPC HTTP server port

The default network is testnet. Use mainnet only when you intend to work with real ADM funds.

Node Lists

Node entries contain ip, protocol, and port. Console composes these into node URLs through utils/api.js and passes them to adamant-api.

When updating ADM node lists, use the canonical metadata from adamant-wallets/assets/general/adamant/info.json.

Passphrase Overrides

You can override the configured passphrase for one CLI invocation:

adm --passphrase "your local passphrase" send tokens U123456789 1ADM

Avoid passphrase flags in shared terminals because shell history can persist command arguments. Prefer private local config files with restrictive filesystem permissions.

Startup Health Check

Interactive mode checks configured node health before accepting the first command:

node bin/adamant.js

One-shot commands skip this startup check. To disable the interactive startup check:

ADM_CHECK_HEALTH_AT_STARTUP=0 node bin/adamant.js
