Cosmos Genesis Tinker

A Python module for modifying Cosmos genesis files.

Use this tool to test how the network reacts to a given scenario. The available operations include (but are not limited to):

• Swapping validators
• Swapping delegators
• Increasing balance
• Increasing validator power
• Increasing delegator stake to a validator

⚠️ This project is in active development.

Setup

Requirements

• Python 3.10

1. Clone from github: git clone [email protected]:hyphacoop/cosmos-genesis-tinkerer.git
2. Change directory: cd cosmos-genesis-tinkerer
3. Create a python virtual environment: python -m venv .env
4. Source env shell vars: source .env/bin/activate
5. Install requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt

Running a tinker file

You can run an example genesis tinker file like this:

./example_fresh_genesis.py

It will read the fresh_genesis.json file from the tests folder and generate tinkered_genesis.json.

Usage

Access full module documentation with pydoc cosmos_genesis_tinker.

Example:

from cosmos_genesis_tinker import GenesisTinker, Delegator

tinker = cosmos_genesis_tinker.GenesisTinker(
    input_file='input.json',
    output_file='output.json')

old_del = Delegator()
old_del.address = 'cosmos123'
old_del.public_key = 'abcxyz'

new_del = Delegator()
new_del.address = 'cosmos456'
new_del.public_key = 'defuvw'

tinker.add_task(tinker.replace_delegator,
    old_delegator=old_del,
    new_delegator=new_del)
    
tinker.add_task(tinker.increase_balance,
    address=new_delegator.address,
    amount=9000000000,
    denom='uatom')

tinker.run_tasks()
