About:
Ioctl is a comprehensive command-line interface designed for the IoTeX blockchain network. It enables developers and users to manage accounts, interact with smart contracts, and query blockchain data efficiently. The tool serves as an essential utility for building and deploying decentralized applications on the IoTeX platform.
Key Features:
  • Account management (create, import, export)
  • Smart contract deployment and interaction
  • Blockchain data querying and analysis
  • Transaction creation and signing
  • Node and network management
Use Cases:
  • Developing and deploying smart contracts on IoTeX
  • Managing blockchain accounts and wallets via CLI
  • Querying blockchain data for analytics and monitoring
  • Automating blockchain operations in scripts
Alternatives:
  • web3.js – JavaScript library for Ethereum; requires programming knowledge vs ioctl's CLI-first approach
  • ethers.js – Ethereum-focused library; not compatible with IoTeX blockchain
