Resolution CLI

The Resolution-CLI is built and maintained by Unstoppable Domains. It is a simple CLI tool for resolving Unstoppable domains and interacting with Web3 domain names. It can be used to retrieve payment addresses, IPFS hashes for decentralized websites, DNS records and other records types. Each Resolution Library is built and maintained by Unstoppable Domains, so updates happen automatically.

For more information on resolving domains using the Resolution CLI application, please see the Resolution CLI Repository on Github.

Supported Domains for Resolution CLI

The Resolution CLI supports decentralized domains across two main zones:

Name Service	Supported Domains
Zilliqa Name Service (ZNS)	`.zil`
Unstoppable Name Service (UNS)	`.crypto`, `.nft`, `.blockchain`, `.bitcoin`, `.wallet,` `.888`, `.dao`, `.x`, `.klever`, `.hi`, `.kresus`, `.polygon`, `.anime`, `.manga`

important

Unstoppable Domains periodically adds new domain endings, and our Resolution libraries and APIs are designed to detect and support them automatically. This means you do not need to implement a front-end filter in your application (e.g., by hard-coding specific domains or using a regex filter for only .crypto, .nft, etc.). We also provide an API endpoint to query for supported domain endings.

Installing Resolution CLI

To use resolution via the command line, download one of the binaries or install using Go.

Copy

Copied

go install github.com/unstoppabledomains/resolution-cli/resolution@latest

Use Case: Retrieve an ETH Address

This will retrieve the ETH address of a domain:

Copy

Copied

$ resolution resolve addr ETH -d brad.crypto
"0x8aaD44321A86b170879d7A244c1e8d360c99DdA8"

The crypto.ETH.address can be located in the Records Reference.

Use Case: Retrieve a Domain Record

And this will retrieve any record from the domain, if it exists, and return the following records:

Copy

Copied

$ resolution resolve records crypto.ETH.address crypto.BTC.address -d brad.crypto
{
   "records": {
      "crypto.BTC.address": "bc1q359khn0phg58xgezyqsuuaha28zkwx047c0c3y",
      "crypto.ETH.address": "0x8aaD44321A86b170879d7A244c1e8d360c99DdA8"
   }
}

Custom Ethereum Provider Configuration

By default, the CLI uses Alchemy as its primary gateway to the blockchain. If you'd like to override this default and set another provider you can do so using the --ethereum-provider-url flag for Ethereum and ethereum-l2-provider-url for Polygon.

For example:

Copy

Copied

resolution --ethereum-provider-url https://eth-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/{API_KEY} -d udtestdev-usdt.crypto

info

Use the -h or --help flag to see all the available CLI options.
