The thru command is the main command-line interface for interacting with the Thru network. Use this page to decide which command family fits your task before you load a more detailed reference page.

Prerequisites

​
Start Here

Read Global Flags and configuration first if you need to understand:
  • --json, --quiet, --url, and --network
  • where config lives on disk
  • how named networks override the default RPC target
  • when a command accepts key names versus raw ta... addresses

​
Command Families

RPC

Query node state, account data, balances, slot metrics, and use the top-level native transfer command.

Program

Create, upgrade, pause, finalize, destroy, and derive managed program accounts.

Uploader

Upload raw program binaries and inspect or clean up uploader accounts.

ABI

Publish or inspect on-chain ABI accounts, or use ABI tooling such as codegen, reflection, flattening, and bundling.

Keys

List, add, generate, inspect, and remove keys stored in CLI config.

Account

Create accounts, inspect them, list transactions, and work with compression flows.

Transaction

Sign, execute, inspect, and sort transaction inputs, or generate state proofs.

Utility

Convert public keys and signatures between hex and Thru address formats.

Token

Create mints, manage token accounts, and transfer, mint, burn, freeze, or thaw tokens.

Faucet

Deposit to or withdraw from the faucet program.

Registrar

Initialize the .thru registry and manage lease lifecycle commands.

Name Service

Initialize root registrars, manage records, register subdomains, and derive addresses.

Wrapped Thru

Initialize wrapped Thru infrastructure, then deposit and withdraw wrapped balances.

Dev

Install toolchains and SDKs, inspect install paths, and scaffold projects.

Network

Configure named RPC endpoints and choose the default network for future commands.

Debug

Re-execute transactions and resolve DWARF-backed debug traces.

Typical Workflow For Agents

  1. Configure an RPC endpoint with network commands.
  2. Check Global Flags and configuration if you need to know how config, key lookup, or --json output works.
  3. Jump to the relevant command family page instead of scanning the whole CLI surface.
  4. Only load the detailed command section you need for the task at hand.
Most commands share --json, --quiet, --network, and --url, but command-specific flags and accepted identifier formats vary by family.
