Main Topics of the Third Session
This session marked an important transition from theory to hands-on technical practice, focusing on how to use the Cardano Command Line Interface (CLI) for direct interaction with the blockchain.
Setting Up and Configuring the CLI Environment
- Guided step-by-step through installing and configuring the Cardano CLI tool
- Explained how to set up the environment safely and efficiently for development purposes
Creating and Managing Wallets
- Demonstrated how to generate keys and addresses
- Covered best practices for wallet management and key safety
Sending Transactions on the Cardano Network
- Explained the process of constructing, signing, and submitting a transaction using the CLI
- Participants learned how transactions work from the inside out
- Emphasized the importance of transaction fees, confirmation, and transaction hash
These practical lessons gave participants the fundamental skills required to begin developing and testing on Cardano locally.
Key Q&A Highlights
The Q&A segment allowed builders to clarify technical challenges and better understand how to navigate the Cardano CLI:
Questions:
- What is the difference between a payment address and a stake address in Cardano CLI?
- Can I test sending ADA using CLI on testnet before going live?
- How are UTxOs selected and managed when building transactions manually?
- What happens if a transaction is not signed properly? Will it still go through?
- How do I check transaction history or status from the command line?
- What are the risks of managing wallets manually using CLI and how can we mitigate them?
These questions demonstrated that participants were actively engaging with the CLI and becoming more confident in interacting with the blockchain at a deeper level.
Community Interaction & Learning Atmosphere
Just like previous sessions, the online meetup maintained a dynamic and inclusive atmosphere. Newcomers felt welcome, while more experienced participants helped answer peer questions during the session. The Cardano Builder Vietnam Telegram group remained active after the event, buzzing with screenshots, questions, and follow-up discussions.
