Runtime Explorer

A web-based explorer of the Runtime Metadata. The examples expect Polkadot node running and listening for RPC requests on the localhost (i.e. default node options)

./gradlew bootRun

Open http://localhost:8080

Keys

Balance check and transfer

Check account status and/or make a transfer of the balance to another address.

For the development network, transfer random amount for Alice to Bob

cd balance
./gradlew run

Note	To run a development network use: polkadot --dev

Transfer using real network (ex. Kusama)

cd balance
./gradlew run --args="wss://cc3-5.kusama.network SENDER_KEY_SEED RECIPIENT_ADDRESS"

Warning

If you use on a real network please be aware that it executes the transfer without any additional confirmation from you
