Usage

General Command Structure

solfort [COMMAND] [ARGUMENTS]

Use solfort --help to see a list of all available commands.

Generate a new keypair

solfort generate-keypair

This will create a new Solana keypair and save it in the solfort directory.

Request an airdrop

solfort airdrop <AMOUNT> <RECIPIENT_PUBKEY>

Example:

solfort airdrop 1.5 7dE8vUD3vz3jwL6H3kfei2thNwopKGC99H7XE3mfcQu7

This requests an airdrop of 1.5 SOL to the specified public key. Note that airdrops are only available on devnet and testnet.

Send SOL

solfort send <AMOUNT> <SENDER_PUBKEY> <RECIPIENT_PUBKEY>

Example:

solfort send 0.1 7dE8vUD3vz3jwL6H3kfei2thNwopKGC99H7XE3mfcQu7 AnotherValidPublicKeyHere

This sends 0.1 SOL from the sender's address to the recipient's address.

Check balance

solfort balance <PUBKEY>

If no public key is provided, it will use the default from the config file.

Example:

solfort balance 7dE8vUD3vz3jwL6H3kfei2thNwopKGC99H7XE3mfcQu7

This checks the balance of the specified Solana address.

Configuration

SolFort uses a configuration file to store default settings. The config file is located at solfort/config.json and is created automatically when you first run a command.

You can manually edit this file to change settings such as the default Solana cluster (e.g., devnet, testnet, or mainnet-beta).

Error Handling

SolFort provides detailed error messages to help you troubleshoot issues. If you encounter an error, read the message carefully for information on how to resolve it.
