Getting Started

adamant-console is a command-line and JSON-RPC tool for interacting with the ADAMANT blockchain. It signs ADM transactions locally and submits signed payloads to configured ADAMANT nodes.

Use Console when you need to:

• Inspect account, block, transaction, chat, delegate, and node data
• Send ADM, messages, rich messages, and signal messages
• Register delegates and vote for delegates
• Expose Console behavior through a local JSON-RPC server

Requirements

• Node.js 22.13.0 or newer
• npm 10 or newer

Install Dependencies

For repository development:

npm ci --ignore-scripts

If dependency metadata changes and the lockfile must be updated:

npm install --ignore-scripts

Do not enable lifecycle scripts globally. If a dependency requires a trusted build step, run a targeted documented rebuild for that package only.

Initialize Config

Create a user config:

node bin/adamant.js init

By default, Console writes ~/.adm/config.jsonc. A local config.jsonc in the current working directory can also override defaults for development.

Run Console

Interactive prompt:

node bin/adamant.js

One-shot command:

node bin/adamant.js node height

Installed npm binary:

adm node height

JSON-RPC daemon:

node bin/adamant.js rpc server
