The Miden client

In this section, we show you how to make private transactions and send funds to another account using the Miden client.

Important: Prerequisite steps

• You should have already followed the prerequisite steps and get started documents.
• You should not have reset the state of your local client.

Create a second account

Tip Remember to use the Miden client documentation for clarifications.

1. Create a second account to send funds with. Previously, we created a type mutable account (account A). Now, create another mutable (account B) using the following command:

   miden-client new-wallet --mutable
   

2. List and view the newly created accounts with the following command:

   miden-client account -l
   

3. You should see two accounts:

   

Transfer assets between accounts

1. Now we can transfer some of the tokens we received from the faucet to our second account B.

   To do this, run:

   miden-client send --sender <regular-account-id-A> --target <regular-account-id-B> --asset 50::<faucet-account-id> --note-type private
   

   Note The faucet account ID can be found on the Miden faucet website under the title Miden faucet.

   This generates a private Pay-to-ID (P2ID) note containing 50 assets, transferred from one account to the other.

2. First, sync the accounts.

   miden-client sync
   

3. Get the second note id.

   miden-client notes
   

4. Have the second account consume the note.

   miden-client consume-notes --account <regular-account-ID-B> <input-note-id>
   

   Tip It's possible to use a short version of the note id: 7 characters after the 0x is sufficient, e.g. 0x6ae613a.

   You should now see both accounts containing faucet assets with amounts transferred from Account A to Account B.

5. Check the second account:

   miden-client account --show <regular-account-ID-B>
   

   

6. Check the original account:

   miden-client account --show <regular-account-ID-A>

Congratulations!

You have successfully configured and used the Miden client to interact with a Miden rollup and faucet.

You have performed basic Miden rollup operations like submitting proofs of transactions, generating and consuming notes.

Clear data

All state is maintained in store.sqlite3, located in the directory defined in the miden-client.toml file.

To clear all state, delete this file. It recreates on any command execution.
