Transaction Commands
All transaction commands follow the pattern:
qorechaind tx <module> <command> [args] [flags]
Set --chain-id qorechain-vladi to broadcast against the live mainnet (chain version v3.1.97), or --chain-id qorechain-diana for the testnet. If omitted, the client uses the chain-id from your local config.
Common flags apply to every tx subcommand:
| Flag | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
--from | string | Name or address of the signing key |
--chain-id | string | Chain identifier (default: from config) |
--fees | string | Transaction fees (e.g., 500uqor) |
--gas | string | Gas limit or auto for estimation |
--gas-adjustment | float | Gas multiplier when using auto (default: 1.0) |
--keyring-backend | string | Keyring backend: os, file, test |
--node | string | RPC endpoint (default: tcp://localhost:26657) |
--broadcast-mode | string | sync, async, or block |
-y | bool | Skip confirmation prompt |

qorechaind tx staking delegate <validator_address> <amount> [flags]
redelegate
Move delegation from one validator to another.
qorechaind tx staking redelegate <src_validator> <dst_validator> <amount> [flags]
unbond
Unbond tokens from a validator.
qorechaind tx staking unbond <validator_address> <amount> [flags]

gov
submit-proposal
Submit a governance proposal.
qorechaind tx gov submit-proposal <proposal_file.json> [flags]

vote
Vote on an active proposal.
qorechaind tx gov vote <proposal_id> <option> [flags]
Vote options: yes, no, abstain, no_with_veto.
deposit
Add a deposit to a proposal.
qorechaind tx gov deposit <proposal_id> <amount> [flags]
pqc
The cosmos transaction path requires a hybrid signature by default (hybrid_signature_mode = required). The gen-key and cosign commands produce the Dilithium-5 (ML-DSA-87) key and the PQCHybridSignature extension needed to transact on the cosmos path alongside the classical secp256k1 signature.
gen-key
Generate a Dilithium-5 (ML-DSA-87) post-quantum key for hybrid signing.
qorechaind tx pqc gen-key [flags]
cosign
Attach a Dilithium-5 cosignature to a transaction as a PQCHybridSignature extension, producing a hybrid (secp256k1 + ML-DSA-87) transaction. Required for cosmos-path transactions under the default required enforcement mode. Standard CosmJS / relayer tooling must produce this extension to transact; the QoreChain SDK's buildHybridTx (with includePqcPublicKey) does the equivalent.
qorechaind tx pqc cosign <unsigned_tx_file> [flags]
register-key
Register a post-quantum public key for an account.
qorechaind tx pqc register-key <algorithm> <pubkey_hex> [flags]
register-key-v2
Register a PQC key with extended metadata and attestation.
qorechaind tx pqc register-key-v2 <algorithm> <pubkey_hex> [flags]
| Flag | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
--attestation | string | TEE attestation data (hex) |
--metadata | string | Additional key metadata (JSON) |
migrate-key
Migrate an existing classical key to a hybrid PQC key pair.
qorechaind tx pqc migrate-key <algorithm> <pqc_pubkey_hex> [flags]
recover-key
Deterministically reconstruct the account's ML-DSA-87 key from its BIP-39 mnemonic (read from stdin) and store it locally (available as of chain version v3.1.85). Uses the ecosystem-standard derivation SHAKE-256("qorechain:pqc:v1|address|mnemonic").
qorechaind tx pqc recover-key <name> <address> [flags]
| Flag | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
--derivation | string | adapter (canonical, default) or bridge (legacy SHAKE-256(mnemonic)) |
rotate-key
Rotate the account's ML-DSA-87 key within the same algorithm (available as of chain version v3.1.85) — e.g. migrate a legacy-derived key to the canonical derivation, or retire a compromised key. Reads the mnemonic from stdin, dual-signs with the old and new keys, cosigns the envelope with the old key, and broadcasts. Emits only the transaction JSON on stdout (informational lines go to stderr), so it composes with -o json.
qorechaind tx pqc rotate-key [flags]
| Flag | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
--old-derivation | string | Derivation of the currently registered key (adapter | bridge) |
--new-derivation | string | Derivation of the new key (adapter | bridge) |
--new-random | bool | Generate a fresh random key instead |

Initiate a bridge withdrawal to an external chain.
qorechaind tx bridge withdraw <chain_id> <amount> <asset> <destination_address> [flags]
update-chain-config
Activate or reconfigure a chain's bridge in a single signed transaction (available as of chain version v3.1.80). Requires the bridge_admin key or a qcb_bridge license — no governance proposal or chain upgrade. Sets the contract address, confirmation count, architecture, and status.
qorechaind tx bridge update-chain-config <chain_id> [flags] --from bridge-admin
