# enid gentx

#### `enid gentx`

```ansi
Generate a genesis transaction that creates a validator with self-delegation, signed by the key referenced by the given name in the keyring. Optionally, you can provide a node ID and Bech32 consensus public key. If omitted, they will be retrieved from the priv_validator.json file. The following default parameters are included:

    Delegation Amount:            100000000ueni
    Commission Rate:              0.1
    Commission Max Rate:          0.2
    Commission Max Change Rate:   0.01
    Minimum Self-Delegation:      1

Example:
$ <appd> gentx my-key-name 1000000stake --home=/path/to/home/dir --keyring-backend=os --chain-id=test-chain-1 \
    --moniker="myvalidator" \
    --commission-max-change-rate=0.01 \
    --commission-max-rate=1.0 \
    --commission-rate=0.07 \
    --details="..." \
    --security-contact="..." \
    --website="..."

Usage:
  enid gentx [key_name] [amount] [flags]

Flags:
  -a, --account-number uint                   Account number of the signing account (offline mode only)

      --dry-run                               Ignore the --gas flag and simulate the transaction without broadcasting (when enabled, local Keybase is inaccessible)
      --fee-account string                    Fee account to pay for the transaction fees, instead of deducting from the signer
      --fees string                           Pay transaction fees; e.g., 10uatom

      --gas string                            Gas limit set for each transaction; set to "auto" to automatically calculate sufficient gas (default 200000)
      --gas-adjustment float                  Adjustment factor multiplied by the estimated value returned from tx simulation; ignored if gas limit is manually set (default 1)
      --gas-prices string                     Decimal format of gas prices to determine transaction fees (e.g., 0.1uatom)
      --generate-only                         Build an unsigned transaction and write it to STDOUT (when enabled, only access local Keybase when a key name is provided)

      --node-id string                        Node's NodeID
      --note string                           Add a note to the transaction description (formerly --memo)
