dYdX CLI Cheatsheet

This cheatsheet collects commonly used CLI commands for node operators to easily copy and paste. A few conventions we follow:

Capitalized words indicate placeholders
Always use our own Polkachu RPC endpoints
Always specify --chain-id and --node flags even when they are unnecessary
Query CLI command always uses --output json flag and pipes result through jq
