GenLayer CLI

The genlayer CLI manages contract deployment, interaction, transaction inspection, and network configuration. Works with GenLayer Studio (local), studio.genlayer.com, and Testnet Bradbury.

Setup

npm install -g genlayer

Network Configuration

genlayer network set                    # Interactive selector
genlayer network set testnet-bradbury   # Direct
genlayer network info                   # Show current network config
genlayer network list                   # List all networks

Networks: localnet, studionet, testnet-asimov, testnet-bradbury

Note: studionet is gasless, no tokens are required to deploy or interact with contracts. A 0 GEN balance is expected and does not prevent any operations.

Note: studionet is rate-limited per IP, 60 req/min, 1000 req/hr, 10000 req/day. Limits aren't permanent, batching many deploy/write calls trips -32429 / HTTP 429 and further requests are rejected until the window resets (next minute / hour / day cycle). -32028 signals the pending-queue cap, up to 32 in-flight txs per sender; a separate cap also applies per contract. Throttle batch scripts, wait for receipts between submissions, or use localnet for heavy batches.

Always use genlayer network set instead of --rpc for built-in networks. The --rpc flag bypasses the chain configuration (consensus contract ABI, isStudio flag, etc.) and will cause transaction polling failures. Only use --rpc for custom/private networks not in the built-in list.
