Owner

This document describes how to use Aptos CLI to perform owner operations during validation.

Petra on Chrome browser only

The Petra wallet extension is supported only on the Chrome browser. However, the extensions for Brave browser and Kiwi browser and Microsoft Edge browser will also work.

Owner operations with CLI​

Testnet vs Mainnet

The below CLI command examples use mainnet. See the --rest-url value for testnet and devnet in Aptos Blockchain Deployments.

Initialize CLI​

Initialize CLI with your Petra wallet private key or create new wallet. 

aptos init --profile mainnet-owner \

You can either enter the private key from an existing wallet, or create new wallet address.
