Network Interaction

Learn how to interact with Allora Network: query data, manage transactions, and work with prediction topics.

Gas Management

Allora uses an EIP-1559-like fee structure. Always use this transaction format:

allorad tx emissions [command] \
  --from <account-name> \
  --node <rpc-url> \
  --chain-id allora-testnet-1 \
  --keyring-backend test \
  --gas 130206 \
  --gas-adjustment 1.2 \
  --gas-prices 10uallo

Key differences from other Cosmos chains:

Use --gas-prices 10uallo (not --fees)
Use specific --gas amount (not --gas auto)

fees Xuallo becomes gas-prices 10uallo

⚠️

Topic ordering varies between deployments. Always verify topic details before use.

Querying Network Data

Use these commands to retrieve network information:

Get topic details:

allorad query emissions topic <topic-id> \
  --node https://allora-rpc.testnet.allora.network/

Example:

allorad query emissions topic 1 \
  --node https://allora-rpc.testnet.allora.network/

Common Operations

Query an Inference

# Get latest prediction for ETH (topic 1)
allorad query emissions latest-available-network-inferences 1 \
  --node https://allora-rpc.testnet.allora.network/

Delegate Stake to Reputer

allorad tx emissions delegate-stake <reputer-address> <amount>uallo \
  --from <your-key-name> \
  --node https://allora-rpc.testnet.allora.network/ \
  --chain-id allora-testnet-1 \
  --gas 130206 \
  --gas-adjustment 1.2 \
  --gas-prices 10uallo

Check Your Balance

allorad query bank balances <your-address> \
  --node https://allora-rpc.testnet.allora.network/

Network Endpoints

Testnet:

RPC: https://allora-rpc.testnet.allora.network/
Alternative RPC: https://rpc.ankr.com/allora_testnet
Chain ID: allora-testnet-1

Best Practices

Always specify gas explicitly - Don't use --gas auto
Use consistent gas prices - 10uallo is recommended
Verify topic IDs - Topics may vary between networks
Check network status - Ensure RPC endpoints are accessible
Monitor gas usage - Adjust gas amounts based on transaction complexity

Troubleshooting

Transaction Failed:

Check gas settings (use explicit --gas and --gas-prices)
Verify sufficient wallet balance
Confirm correct chain ID and RPC URL

Query Timeout:

Try alternative RPC endpoint
Check network connectivity
Verify topic ID exists
