Check 'qubic --help' for full command list.

qubic --help

Minimum syntax requirements for contracts will be covered in Module 17.

Use cURL, Postman or your preferred language client to call endpoints.

4. Testnet Wallet

Create a wallet at:

https://wallet.qubic.org

Request test QUBIC from the faucet in the Discord #testnet channel.

PRO TIP

Run your node inside a Docker container for easy restarts and isolation.
