rsk-cli is a command-line tool for interacting with Rootstock blockchain
To install the CLI tool globally, use the following command:
npm i -g @rsksmart/rsk-cliBefore you can start developing with rsk-cli, ensure that you have the following tools installed on your system:
- Node.js: Make sure Node.js is installed, as it is required for running the CLI tool.
The wallet command allows you to manage your wallet on the Rootstock blockchain. You can create a new wallet, use an existing wallet, or import a custom wallet.
rsk-cli walletThis command will guide you through the process of wallet management, offering options to:
- Create a new Ethereum-compatible wallet
- Use an existing wallet
- Import a custom wallet
ℹ️ Info:
When you choose to save a wallet using
rsk-cli, your private key is securely encrypted to protect it from unauthorized access.The tool uses AES-256-CBC encryption, a robust encryption standard. Your password is used to derive a strong encryption key through the
scryptfunction, ensuring that even weak passwords result in strong keys. A random Initialization Vector (IV) is also generated to ensure that even if the same data is encrypted multiple times, the output will be different each time.After encryption, your wallet's private key, along with the necessary encryption metadata, is securely stored in a file named
rootstock-wallet.jsonin the current working directory. This file allows you to manage and reuse your wallets securely withinrsk-cliwithout exposing your sensitive private keys.
Example output when creating a new wallet:
Wallet created successfully on Rootstock!
Address: 0x63281026e39bCa0F6B371a354ae3b0c79AC1e93B
Private Key: 0xc5b8b8d70f5afb837f85698b5c8360b1af821f590dfe302af8cba465465fcbd6
Please save the private key in a secure location.
The balance command allows you to check the balance of your saved wallet on the Rootstock blockchain. You can check the balance on either the mainnet or testnet using the appropriate flags.
rsk-cli balanceOutput example:
📄 Wallet Address: 0x08C4E4BdAb2473E454B8B2a4400358792786d341
🌐 Network: Rootstock Testnet
💰 Current Balance: 0.5015843199087592 RBTC
🔗 Ensure that transactions are being conducted on the correct network.
Use the -t or --testnet flag to check the balance on the Rootstock testnet.
rsk-cli balance -tOutput example:
Balance on testnet: 0.6789 RBTC
The transfer command allows you to transfer rBTC from your saved wallet to a specified address on the Rootstock blockchain. You can execute the transfer on either the mainnet or testnet using the appropriate flags.
rsk-cli transfer --address 0xRecipientAddress --value 0.001Use the -t or --testnet flag to execute the transfer on the Rootstock testnet.
rsk-cli transfer --testnet --address 0x0x08C4E4BdAb2473E454B8B2a4400358792786d341 --value 0.001Output example:

The tx command allows you to check the status of a specific transaction on the Rootstock blockchain by providing the transaction ID. You can check the status on either the mainnet or testnet using the appropriate flags.
rsk-cli tx --txid 0x86deb77e1d666ae6848630496d672da8b5f48292681bda33f8f04245c55dde26rsk-cli tx --testnet --txid 0x86deb77e1d666ae6848630496d672da8b5f48292681bda33f8f04245c55dde26Output example:
