rsk-cli
is a command-line tool for interacting with Rootstock blockchain
To install the CLI tool globally, use the following command:
npm i -g @rsksmart/rsk-cli
Before you can start developing with rsk-cli
, ensure that you have the following tools installed on your system:
- Node.js: Make sure Node.js is installed, as it is required for running the CLI tool.
The wallet
command allows you to manage your wallet on the Rootstock blockchain. You can create a new wallet, use an existing wallet, or import a custom wallet.
rsk-cli wallet
This command will guide you through the process of wallet management, offering options to:
- Create a new Ethereum-compatible wallet
- Import an existing wallet
- List all saved wallets
- Switch between saved wallets
- Update a wallet's name
- Backup the wallet's file
- Delete a saved wallet
βΉοΈ Info:
When you choose to save a wallet using
rsk-cli
, your private key is securely encrypted to protect it from unauthorized access.The tool uses AES-256-CBC encryption, a robust encryption standard. Your password is used to derive a strong encryption key through the
scrypt
function, ensuring that even weak passwords result in strong keys. A random Initialization Vector (IV) is also generated to ensure that even if the same data is encrypted multiple times, the output will be different each time.After encryption, your wallet's private key, along with the necessary encryption metadata, is securely stored in a file named
rootstock-wallet.json
in the current working directory. This file allows you to manage and reuse your wallets securely withinrsk-cli
without exposing your sensitive private keys.

The history command allows you to fetch the transaction history for a wallet on the Rootstock blockchain. This includes transactions such as ERC20, ERC721, and external transfers. You can specify whether to fetch the history from the Mainnet or Testnet by providing the appropriate flag. For this command to work, make sure to have an Alchemy API key you can get from Alchemy Dashboard.
Without having the Alchemy API key previously set:
rsk-cli history --apiKey <apiKey> --number <number>
With Alchemy API key already set:
rsk-cli history --number <number>
Without having the Alchemy API key previously set:
rsk-cli history --testnet --apiKey <apiKey> --number <number>
With Alchemy API key already set:
rsk-cli history --testnet --number <number>

The batch-transfer command allows you to send multiple transactions in one batch. This feature supports both interactive mode (manual input) and file-based batch processing, enabling you to transfer rBTC to multiple addresses in a single operation.
In this mode, the CLI will prompt you to enter the recipient addresses and amounts interactively.
rsk-cli batch-transfer --interactive
rsk-cli batch-transfer --testnet --interactive
Output example:
