basectl

basectl configures and inspects Base nodes across mainnet, Sepolia, devnet, and custom config targets. It ships with the workspace and runs via cargo or the just basectl recipe.

Usage

# Build and run with a configuration target
cargo run -p basectl --release -- -c <config>

Supported configurations:

Config	Network
mainnet	Base Mainnet
sepolia	Base Sepolia Testnet
devnet	Local Development Network
<path>	Custom configuration file

Examples

# Mainnet configuration
just basectl mainnet

# Sepolia testnet
just basectl sepolia

# Local devnet
just basectl devnet

Architecture

basectl is split into two crates:

• basectl-cli (crates/infra/basectl) — The library with configuration logic
• basectl (bin/basectl) — The binary entry point

The binary depends on basectl-cli, clap for argument parsing, anyhow for error handling, and tokio for async runtime.
