Wormhole CLI
This tool is a command-line interface to Wormhole, allowing you to perform various actions, such as querying a transaction's status or submitting token transfers.
Installation
Clone the repository and change directories to the appropriate directory:
Build and install the CLI tool:
This installs two binaries, worm-fetch-governance and worm on your $PATH. To use worm, set up $HOME/.wormhole/.env with your private keys, based on .env.sample in this folder.
Usage
You can interact with the Wormhole CLI by typing worm and including the command and any necessary subcommands and parameters.

Verify VAA
Examples
VAA generation
Use generate to create VAAs for testing. For example, use the following command to create an NFT bridge registration VAA:
worm generate registration --module NFTBridge \
--chain bsc \
--contract-address 0x706abc4E45D419950511e474C7B9Ed348A4a716c \
--guardian-secret cfb12303a19cde580bb4dd771639b0d26bc68353645571a8cff516ab2ee113a0
The below example generates a token attestation VAA:
worm generate attestation --emitter-chain ethereum \
--emitter-address 11111111111111111111111111111115 \
--chain ethereum \
--token-address 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 \
--decimals 6 \
--symbol USDC \
--name USDC \
--guardian-secret cfb12303a19cde580bb4dd771639b0d26bc68353645571a8cff516ab2ee113a0
VAA parsing
Use parse to parse a VAA into JSON:
This example will fetch governance VAA 13940208096455381020 and print it as JSON:
# ...signatures elided

]
}
Submitting VAAs
Use submit to submit a VAA to a chain. It first parses the VAA and determines the destination chain and module. For example, a contract upgrade contains both the target chain and module, so the only required argument is the network moniker (mainnet or testnet):
The script will ask you to specify the target chain for VAAs that don't have a specific target chain (like registrations or Guardian set upgrades). For example, to submit a Guardian set upgrade on all chains, simply run:
worm-fetch-governance 13940208096455381020 > guardian-upgrade.txt
worm submit $(cat guardian-upgrade.txt) --network mainnet --chain oasis
worm submit $(cat guardian-upgrade.txt) --network mainnet --chain aurora
worm submit $(cat guardian-upgrade.txt) --network mainnet --chain fantom
worm submit $(cat guardian-upgrade.txt) --network mainnet --chain karura
worm submit $(cat guardian-upgrade.txt) --network mainnet --chain acala
worm submit $(cat guardian-upgrade.txt) --network mainnet --chain klaytn
worm submit $(cat guardian-upgrade.txt) --network mainnet --chain avalanche
worm submit $(cat guardian-upgrade.txt) --network mainnet --chain polygon
worm submit $(cat guardian-upgrade.txt) --network mainnet --chain bsc
worm submit $(cat guardian-upgrade.txt) --network mainnet --chain solana
worm submit $(cat guardian-upgrade.txt) --network mainnet --chain terra
worm submit $(cat guardian-upgrade.txt) --network mainnet --chain ethereum
worm submit $(cat guardian-upgrade.txt) --network mainnet --chain celo
The VAA payload type (Guardian set upgrade) specifies that this VAA should go to the core bridge, and the tool directs it there.
Getting Info
To get info about a contract (only EVM supported at this time), use the following command:
