Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Q: What is the Blender CLI tool?
A: It’s a command-line interface for interacting with the Blender smart contract on Pepe Unchained blockchain, enabling secure PEPU token deposits and withdrawals.
Q: Is there a mobile version of the CLI tool? A: No, the CLI is designed for desktop environments (Windows/macOS/Linux) only.
Q: Who maintains this project?
A: The GenesisLab Development Team maintains this open-source project with community contributions.
Q: Does Blender support other blockchains? A: Currently, it only operates on the Pepe Unchained blockchain. Cross-chain functionality may be added in future updates.
Q: What happens if I lose my secret?
A: After 30 days, unclaimed deposits can be refunded to the original address using the refund function.
Q: Can I use a hardware wallet?
A: Not directly - current implementation requires private key in .env. For security, use dedicated wallet with minimal funds.
Technical Questions
Q: How are deposits secured?
A: Each deposit generates a unique cryptographic secret hash using keccak256, ensuring only the secret holder can withdraw funds.
Q: Are there deposit limits? A: No quantity limits, but amounts must match exact tiers (100/1k/10k/100k/1M PEPU).
Q: How do I update the CLI?
A: Run git pull in the installation directory, then pnpm install to update dependencies.
Q: Where are wallet credentials stored?
A: Private keys are never stored - only read from .env file at runtime. The CLI has no internal storage mechanism.
Q: Why display balances before/after transactions?
A: The displayBalances() function shows real-time PEPU/BLENDER changes, helping verify successful operations.
Q: How are secrets generated?
A: Using ethers.utils.randomBytes(32) for cryptographically secure randomness, then hashed with keccak256 per contract requirements.
Q: How to change recipient address?
A: Update RECIPIENT_ADDRESS in .env - withdrawals always send to this address through withdraw() function parameter.
Troubleshooting
Q: Why is my transaction failing?
Common issues:
- Insufficient BLENDER tokens for fees (requires 1000 BLENDER)
- Invalid deposit amount (must be 100/1k/10k/100k/1M PEPU)
- Incorrect RPC endpoint in
.env
Q: Where are my secrets stored?
A: Secrets are saved locally in secrets.json - back up this file securely.
Q: What happens if .env is missing values?
A: CLI crashes immediately with “Cannot read properties of undefined” - always verify all .env variables are set before launching.
