Mcd is built on Seth and uses the same network configuration options, which just like Seth, can be defined in the
~/sethrc initialisation file.Similar to Seth,
mcd also supports transaction signing with Ledger hardware wallets and can run against both local and remote nodes.Since
mcd will always be used against a known deployment of the system, defaults can be loaded wherever possible. In most cases the only required configuration parameter is the -C, --chain=<chain> (MCD_CHAIN) option and -F, --from=<address> (ETH_FROM) sender account when not using a testnet.Example
~/.sethrc:#!/usr/bin/env bash
export ETH_FROM=0x4Ffa8667Fe2db498DCb95A322b448eA688Ce430c
export MCD_CHAIN=kovan
Kovan
Run against the latest Kovan deployment by setting the
-C, --chain option to kovan. Specify a sender account when sending transactions using the -F, --from option, or via the ETH_FROM env variable.$ export ETH_FROM=0x4Ffa8667Fe2db498DCb95A322b448eA688Ce430c
$ mcd --chain=kovan dai join 100
Remote testchain
Run agaist remote testchain deployments by setting the
-C, --chain option to the remote testchain Id. Mcd will auto-configure account settings via the testchain api so that no further configuration is required. To view a list of available testchains run:$ mcd testnet chains`
Then set the chain option, or the chain env variable to the appropriate testchain Id.
$ export MCD_CHAIN=12899149080555595289
$ mcd dai join 100
Local testnet
Run against a locally running instance of Dapp testnet where the system has been deployed by setting the
C, --chain option to testnet. Mcd will auto-configure account testings for dapp testnet so that no further configuration is required.By default, Mcd assumes that the output of the testchain deployment script is available at
~/.dapp/testnet/8545/config/addresses.json. Configuration addresses can be loaded from a different location by setting the --config (MCD_CONFIG) option.$ export MCD_CONFIG=~/testchain-deployment-scripts/out/addresses.json
$ mcd -C testnet dai join 100
Ilks are collateral types with corresponding risk parameters which have been approved by system governance. Use the
ilks command to view the list off available Ilks.$ mcd ilks

Each Ilk has its own set of configuration parameters which can be viewed via the
ilk command. The I, --ilk=<id> option is used to scope commands to a particular Ilk:$ mcd --ilk=ETH-A ilk

Gems are collateral tokens. Collateral is added and removed from the via adapters, which abstract away the differences between various token behaviours. Use
gem [<subcommand>] to manage collateral balances for any given Ilk.gem --ilk=<id> symbol Gem symbol e.g. WETH
gem --ilk=<id> balance Print balances for a given urn (default: ETH_FROM)
gem --ilk=<id> join <wad> Add collateral to a given Urn (default: ETH_FROM)
gem --ilk=<id> exit <wad> [<guy>] Remove collateral from an Urn (default: ETH_FROM)
The
join command can add collateral from the sender account to any specified Urn. The exit command can remove collateral from a specified Urn, provided that the sender controls the private key associated with that Urn.By default,
ETH_FROM is used to determine which Urn should be credited with collateral. Use U, --urn=<address> to optionally credit an Urn other than the default.$ mcd --ilk=ETH-A --urn=0x123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef012345678 join 100
The
exit command can remove collateral from a specified Urn, provided that the sender controls the private key associated with that Urn. The exit command can also withdraw collateral to an account other than ETH_FROM buy passing the destination address as an additional argument:$ mcd --ilk=ETH-A exit 100 0xDecaf00000000000000000000000000000000000
Urns represent Cdp state for any given Urn address.
Use the
urn command to view Urn state for any given Ilk:ilk ETH-A Collateral type

By default,
ETH_FROM is used to determine which Urn to query. Use the U, --urn=<address> option to query Urns at other indexes.Urn management
Urn state (
urn.ink and urn.art) is managed via the frob <dink> <dart> command, where dink and dart are delta amounts by which ink (Locked collateral) and art (Outstanding debt) should be changed. For example, to lock 100 WETH and draw 400 Dai on the ETH-A Ilk:$ mcd --ilk=ETH-A frob 100 400
To reduce outstanding debt by 200 Dai whilst keeping the amount of locked collateral constant:
$ mcd --ilk=ETH-A frob -- 0 -200
Similar to Gem adapters, a Dai adapter is used to exchange Vat Dai for ERC20 token Dai which can then be used outside the system. Use
dai [<subcommand>] to manage dai balances.dai balance Print balances for a given urn (default: ETH_FROM)
dai join <wad> Exchange DSToken Dai for Vat Dai
dai exit <wad> Exchange Vat Dai for DSToken Dai
Once Dai has been drawn on an Urn, it can be withdrawn for use outside the system using
dai exit. Dai can be returned to repay Urn debt via dai join.The
dai balance command displays the internal system (vat) balance and the external (ext) token balance:$ mcd dai balance
vat 1030.003120998308631176024235912000000000000000000 Vat balance
ext 0.000000000000000000 ERC20 balance
Individial balance values can be retrieved by adding
vat or ext as an argument to the balance command:$ mcd dai balance vat
1030.003120998308631176024235912000000000000000000
The
cdp command provides compatability with CDPs managed via the CDP Portal and uses the same proxy contract and Cdp Manager font-end. This allows CDPs to be managed via a unique integer identifier rather than the I, --ilk and U, --urn options.Usage: mcd cdp [<id>] [<command>]
Commands: ls [<owner>] List Cdps
count [<owner>] Cdp count
open Open a new Cdp
<id> urn Cdp state
<id> lock <wad> Join & lock collateral
<id> free <wad> Free & exit collateral
<id> draw <wad> Draw & exit dai
<id> wipe <wad> Join & wipe dai
Note: examples assume that
ETH_FROM is set to an address controlled by the user, and that the MCD_CHAIN env variable has been set to a vaild chain identifier.Note: The system doesn't handle ETH directly but instead uses WETH to represent ETH collateral. For convenience, the
wrap and unwrap commands are provided for exchanging ETH to WETH and visa versa.# i) Wrap
