Common commands for both modes

Common commands for both modes

Here's a reference for commands common to the blockchain and the tx-service modes.

ℹ️

You must first load the sender's private key. When loading an owner, it will be set automatically.

Safe

Create new Safe

You can create a new Safe by running the following command:


_10
safe-creator <node_url> <private_key> --owners <checksummed_address_1> <checksummed_address_2> --threshold <uint> --salt-nonce <uint256>

Load Safe

To load a Safe, use the following command:


_10
safe-cli <checksummed_safe_address> <ethereum_node_url>

Then you should be on the prompt and see information about the Safe, like the owners, version, etc.

The next step would be loading some owners for the Safe. At least threshold owners need to be loaded to do operations on the Safe, and at least one should have funds to send transactions.

Update Safe

Updates the Safe to the latest version (if you are on a known network like Mainnet).


_10
update

Transactions

Send custom transactions

Sends a custom transaction from the Safe account to a contract. If --delegate is set, a delegatecall will be triggered.


_10
send_custom <address> <value-wei> <data-hex-str> [--delegate] [--safe-nonce <int>]

Send ether

Sends ether from the Safe to another account.


_10
send_ether <address> <value-wei> [--safe-nonce <int>]

Send ERC-20 tokens

Sends an ERC-20 token from the Safe account to a different one.


_10
send_erc20 <address> <token-address> <value-wei> [--safe-nonce <int>]

Send ERC-721 tokens

Sends an ERC-721 token from the Safe account to a different one.


_10
send_erc721 <address> <token-address> <token-id> [--safe-nonce <int>]

Approve Safe transaction hash

Approves a safe-tx-hash for the provided sender address.


_10
approve_hash <keccak-hexstr-hash> <sender-address>

Owners

Add new owner

Adds a new owner address to the Safe.


_10
add_owner <address>

Load owners

From private key

Loading owners is unnecessary if you want to do read-only operations.

To load owners:


_10
> load_cli_owners <account_private_key>
_10
Loaded account 0xab...cd with balance=123 ether
_10
Set account 0xab..cd as default sender of txs

You can also load owners from your environment variables before running the Safe CLI:


_10
export MY_PRIVATE_KEY=YOUR_EOA_PRIVATE_KEY

Run the Safe CLI, then:


_10
> load_cli_owners MY_PRIVATE_KEY
_10
Loaded account 0xab...cd with balance=123 ether
_10
Set account 0xab..cd as default sender of txs

To check the loaded owners:


_10
> show_cli_owners

To unload an owner:


_10
> unload_cli_owners <ethereum_checksummed_address>

From hardware wallets

ℹ️

Before signing anything, ensure that the data on your hardware wallet device is the same as the Safe CLI data.

If you want to use both Ledger and Trezor, you need to run the following command:


_10
pip install "safe-cli[ledger, trezor]"

Ledger

The Ledger module is an optional feature of the Safe CLI to sign transactions with the help of ledgereth (opens in a new tab) library based on ledgerblue (opens in a new tab).

To enable, the Safe CLI must be installed as follows:


_10
pip install "safe-cli[ledger]"

When running on Linux, make sure the following rules have been added to /etc/udev/rules.d/:


_10
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c97", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0000", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess", TAG+="udev-acl" OWNER="<UNIX username>"
_10
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c97", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess", TAG+="udev-acl" OWNER="<UNIX username>"
_10
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c97", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0004", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess", TAG+="udev-acl" OWNER="<UNIX username>"

Ledger commands

  • load_ledger_cli_owners [--legacy-accounts] [--derivation-path <str>]: shows a list of the first five accounts (--legacy-accounts search using legacy derivation) or loads an account from the provided derivation path.
Trezor

The Trezor module is an optional feature of the Safe CLI to sign transactions from the Trezor hardware wallet using the trezor (opens in a new tab) library.

To enable, the Safe CLI must be installed as follows:


_10
pip install "safe-cli[trezor]"

Trezor commands

  • load_trezor_cli_owners [--legacy-accounts] [--derivation-path <str>]: shows a list of the first five accounts (--legacy-accounts search using legacy derivation) or loads an account from provided derivation path.

Remove owner

Removes an owner address from the Safe.


_10
remove_owner <address>

Change threshold

Changes the threshold of the Safe.


_10
change_threshold <integer>

Modules

Enable module

Enable module address.


_10
enable_module <address>

Disable module

Disable module address.


_10
disable_module <address>

Refresh Safe CLI

If the information in the information bar is outdated or there's any problem, you can force the Safe CLI to update the information about the Safe.


_10
refresh

⚠️

Only use the following operations if you are sure about what you are doing, as they can result in all your funds getting lost.

Update fallback handler

Updates the fallback handler to be address. Supported by Safes with version >= v1.1.0.


_10
change_fallback_handler <address>

Update Safe Guard

Updates the Safe Guard to be address. Supported by Safes with version >= v1.3.0.


_10
change_guard <address>

Update master copy

Updates the master copy to be address. It's used to update the Safe.


_10
change_master_copy <address>

Update to L2

⚠️

A non-L2 Safe can only be migrated to L2 if the non-L2 Safe was not used before (nonce must be zero).

Updates a v1.1.1, v1.3.0, or v1.4.1 non-L2 Safe to an L2 Safe supported by Safe {Wallet}. The migration contract address needs to be provided. It can be found here (opens in a new tab). The nonce for the Safe must be 0, and supported versions are v1.1.1, v1.3.0, and v1.4.1.


_10
update_version_to_l2 <address>

where address is the address of the migration contract.
