Register Keys

Feather currently uses the Terra Testnet (pisco-1) to coordinate launches, and both chain deployers and validators will need to interact with the pisco-1 chain. By adding your key and registering an account with the Feather CLI, it allows the CLI to perform these interactions.

There are two ways to register a key:

1. Import an existing key
2. Create a new key (recommended if you are just testing things out)

1. Import an existing key

If you already have an existing Terra account, you can simply recover it using your seed phrase:

# key_name should be human-readable and simple, like 'mykey'.

# DO NOT enter your seed phrase as key_name!

feather config keys add <key_name> --recover

You will then be prompted to enter your seed phrase:

> Enter your bip39 mnenomic

# This is an example. Replace this with your actual seed phrase!

one two three four five six seven eight nine ten

one two three four five six seven eight nine ten

one two three four

2. Create a new key

OR, you can choose to create a new key altogether:

feather config keys add <key_name>

Warning

Save the mnemonic seed phrase in a safe place. If you lose this seed phrase, your account is lost forever!
