Genlayer CLI

GenLayer CLI

Use this skill for local Studio management, account/network inspection, contract calls, receipts, and transaction debugging. For this repo's normal factory deployment, prefer the deploy skill, which runs the scripts/ package.

Setup

npm install -g genlayer

Network Configuration

genlayer network set
genlayer network set studionet
genlayer network set localnet
genlayer network info
genlayer network list

Built-in networks include localnet, studionet, testnet-asimov, and testnet-bradbury.

Use genlayer network set for built-in networks. Avoid --rpc for built-ins because it can bypass chain metadata needed for polling and receipt decoding.

StudioNet is gasless. A zero GEN balance is normal there.

Account Commands

genlayer account
genlayer account list
genlayer account create --name dev1
genlayer account use dev1
genlayer account unlock
genlayer account lock
genlayer account import --name imported --private-key 0x...

Headless environments may not support keychain unlock. Commands that sign transactions can prompt for a keystore password unless a deployment script uses env-based private keys.

Repo Deployment Path

This repo deploys the registry factory through scripts/deploy.ts using genlayer-js:

cd scripts && npm run deploy

The deploy script reads:

• scripts/.env PRIVATE_KEY
• scripts/.env RPC_URL
• intelligent-contracts/IntelligentOracleFactory.py
• intelligent-contracts/IntelligentOracle.py

After deployment, copy the registry address into root app envs:

IC_REGISTRY_ADDRESS=0x...
NEXT_PUBLIC_IC_REGISTRY_ADDRESS=0x...

Direct CLI Deployment

Avoid direct CLI deployment for the registry factory in normal work. The factory constructor needs the full oracle source code as an argument, and the scripts/ package already handles that in the same way the project expects.

Use CLI deployment only for isolated experiments where the deployed contract does not need to match the app's registry flow.

Contract Interaction

Read calls:

genlayer call <registry-address> get_contract_addresses
genlayer call <oracle-address> get_dict
genlayer call <oracle-address> get_status

Write calls:

genlayer write <oracle-address> resolve --args "https://example.com/evidence"

The registry write method used by the API is:

create_new_prediction_market(
  prediction_market_id,
  title,
  description,
  potential_outcomes,
  rules,
  data_source_domains,
  resolution_urls,
  earliest_resolution_date
)

Transaction Debugging

genlayer receipt <txHash>
genlayer receipt <txHash> --stdout
genlayer receipt <txHash> --stderr
genlayer receipt <txHash> --status FINALIZED --retries 50 --interval 3000

Debug order:

1. Inspect the receipt, stdout, and stderr.
2. Check schema with genlayer schema <address>.
3. Check deployed source with genlayer code <address>.
4. Compare method names and constructor args against the Next route handlers and scripts/deploy.ts.
5. Appeal only when a real consensus re-evaluation is intended.

Local Studio

genlayer init
genlayer up
genlayer up --reset-db
genlayer stop

When switching to local Studio, update both server and browser envs in the root app:

GENLAYER_RPC_URL=http://localhost:4000/api
NEXT_PUBLIC_GENLAYER_RPC_URL=http://localhost:4000/api
