MyTonCtrl

Overview​

To install and manage your own node, use the MyTonCtrl open-source tool developed by the TON Foundation. MyTonCtrl is reliable and tested on most TON nodes.

MyTonCtrl is a console application that is a convenient wrapper for fift, lite-client, and validator-engine-console. It has been specifically developed to streamline the Linux operating system's wallet, domain, and validator management tasks.

We are actively seeking feedback about the installation process. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us.

Example:

MyTonCtrl> getconfig 0

Overlays​

To better understand overlays, read the information here.

add_custom_overlay​

Adds a custom overlay with the given <name> using the configuration specified by <path_to_config>.

MyTonCtrl> add_custom_overlay <name> <path_to_config>

Example:

add_custom_overlay custom /config.json
# check link from above to know what config this command requires (/v3/guidelines/nodes/custom-overlays)

Deletes the custom overlay with the specified <name>.

MyTonCtrl> delete_custom_overlay <name>

Validator​

vo​

Votes for the offer specified by <offer-hash>.

MyTonCtrl> vo <offer-hash> # use `ol` to get offers

ve​

No args, votes for election.

vc​

Votes for the complaint specified by <complaint-hash> in the election specified by <election-id>

MyTonCtrl> vc <election-id> <complaint-hash>

Actually, this will work as well, but you should use data from your current MyTonCtrl state:

MyTonCtrl> vc 0 0

check_ef​

Outputs validator efficiency data for the current and previous rounds.

Note: The accuracy of data improves as the current round progresses.

Based on the validator index, which can be obtained using the status command, there are three possible scenarios:

  1. Validator index in the range [0, max_main_validators): The validator efficiency must remain above 90% for the entire round. This percentage may be adjusted in the future based on statistics. If it falls below this threshold, a penalty (fine) may be imposed.

  2. Validator index in the range [max_main_validators, max_validators): The validator efficiency should still be above 90% for the full round (this percentage may be adjusted in the future based on statistics). Currently, no penalties will be applied; however, this may change in future updates.

  3. The user is not a validator: No penalties apply, but the user is also not eligible for rewards. In this case, there is no validator efficiency to monitor. This situation can arise from having a low stake or an incorrect node configuration. Additionally, ensure that MyTonCtrl is running continuously.

Learn more about max_validators and max_main_validators on config parameters page. Get the current values for mainnet and for testnet.

MyTonCtrl> activate_single_pool <pool-name> # pool name from above

Wallet management​

Importing a wallet​

MyTonCtrl supports various types of wallet-like contracts, including wallet-v1, wallet-v3, lockup-wallet, among others. It often offers a straightforward way to interact with these contracts.

Importing Using a Private Key​

If you have access to a private key, you can easily import a wallet:

MyTonCtrl> iw <wallet-addr> <wallet-secret-key>

In this context, <wallet-secret-key> is your private key in base64 format.

Example:

MyTonCtrl> iw kf9tZrL46Xjux3ZqvQFSgQkOIlteJK52slSYWbasqtOjrKUT AAAH++/ve+/vXrvv73vv73vv73vv71DWu+/vWcpA1E777+92Ijvv73vv70iV++/ve+/vUTvv70d77+9UFjvv71277+9bO+/ve+/vXgzdzzvv71i77+977+9CjLvv73vv73vv71i77+9Bu+/vV0oJe+/ve+/vUPvv73vv73vv70=

Importing using a mnemonic phrase​

If you have a mnemonic phrase (a sequence of 24 words like tattoo during ...), follow these steps:

  1. Install Node.js.
  2. Clone and install mnemonic2key: 
    git clone https://github.com/ton-blockchain/mnemonic2key.git
    cd mnemonic2key
    npm install
  3. Run the following command, replacing word1, word2... with your mnemonic phrase and address with the address of your wallet contract: 
    node index.js word1 word2 ... word24 [address]
  4. The script will generate wallet.pk and wallet.addr. Rename them to imported_wallet.pk and imported_wallet.addr.
  5. Copy both files to the ~/.local/share/mytoncore/wallets/ directory.
  6. Open the MyTonCtrl console and list the wallets using the wl command.
  7. Verify that the wallet has been imported and displays the correct balance.
  8. You can now send funds using the mg command. Enter mg to view the help documentation. Remember to replace placeholders (words inside < >) with your actual values when running commands.

Show the list of wallets​

MyTonCtrl> wl

Create a new local wallet​

You can also create a new empty wallet:

MyTonCtrl> nw <workchain-id> <wallet-name> [<version> <subwallet>]

Example:

MyTonCtrl> nw 0 name v3 # by default subwallet is 0x29A9A317 + workchain

Activate a local wallet​

To use a wallet, you must activate it first:

MyTonCtrl> aw <wallet-name>

Before activating, send 1 Toncoin to the wallet:

MyTonCtrl> wl
Name                  Status  Balance           Ver  Wch  Address
validator_wallet_001  active  994.776032511     v1   -1   kf_dctjwS4tqWdeG4GcCLJ53rkgxZOGGrdDzHJ_mxPkm_Xct
wallet_004            uninit  0.0               v1   0    0QBxnZJq4oHVFs4ban3kJ5qllM1IQo57lIx8QP69Ue9A6Kbs

MyTonCtrl> mg validator_wallet_001 0QBxnZJq4oHVFs4ban3kJ5qllM1IQo57lIx8QP69Ue9A6Kbs 1

Then activate it:

MyTonCtrl> aw wallet_004
ActivateWallet - OK

MyTonCtrl> wl
Name                  Status  Balance           Ver  Wch  Address
validator_wallet_001  active  994.776032511     v1   -1   kf_dctjwS4tqWdeG4GcCLJ53rkgxZOGGrdDzHJ_mxPkm_Xct
wallet_004            active  0.998256399       v1   0    kQBxnZJq4oHVFs4ban3kJ5qllM1IQo57lIx8QP69Ue9A6Psp

Get the sequence number of the wallet​

MyTonCtrl> seqno <wallet-name>

Set a wallet version​

This command is needed when a modified wallet with interaction methods similar to a regular one is used.

MyTonCtrl> swv <wallet-addr> <wallet-version>

Example:

MyTonCtrl> swv kf9tZrL46Xjux3ZqvQFSgQkOIlteJK52slSYWbasqtOjrKUT v3

Export a wallet​

It is possible to obtain a specific wallet address along with its secret key:

MyTonCtrl> ew <wallet-name>

Delete a local wallet​

MyTonCtrl> dw <wallet-name>

Account and transaction commands​

Account status​

To check account status and its transaction history use the following command:

MyTonCtrl> vas <account-addr>
# For example, you can get the address of the validator wallet by the wl command and use vas to get more information.

Account history​

To view your account transaction history, use the following command, specifying the number of listed operations as limit:

MyTonCtrl> vah <account-addr> <limit>
# limit is just unsigned integer number

Transfer coins​

Transfer coins from the local wallet to another account:

MyTonCtrl> mg <wallet-name> <account-addr | bookmark-name> <amount>

Example:

MyTonCtrl> mg wallet_004 kQBxnZJq4oHVFs4ban3kJ5qllM1IQo57lIx8QP69Ue9A6Psp 1
caution

Wallet version 'v4' is not supported for the transfering

Transfer coins through a proxy​

Transfer coins from local wallet to an account through a proxy:

MyTonCtrl> mgtp <wallet-name> <account-addr | bookmark-name> <amount>

Example:

MyTonCtrl> mgtp wallet_004 kQBxnZJq4oHVFs4ban3kJ5qllM1IQo57lIx8QP69Ue9A6Psp 1

General pools commands​

There are two types of pools in MyTonCtrl:
