3. Advanced Features

Smart Contract Interaction

You can call contract functions using their signature or a full JSON ABI.

Read Data (Call)

# Using function signature (defaults to view/uint256)
web3-cli contract call 0x... "balanceOf(address)" 0x...

# Using full ABI file
web3-cli contract call 0x... name --abi ./erc20.json

Write Data (Transact)

web3-cli contract transact 0x... "transfer(address,uint256)" 0x... 1000000

Proxy Calls

To call a proxy contract, provide the proxy address and the ABI of the implementation:

web3-cli contract call [PROXY_ADDR] "someMethod()" --abi ./implementation.json

Multi-sig & Offline Signing

Sign a transaction (without sending)

web3-cli sign 0x... 0.1

This outputs a raw hex string that can be shared or saved.

Send a pre-signed transaction

web3-cli send-raw <RAW_HEX>

Advanced State & Event Queries

Get contract bytecode

web3-cli contract code 0x...

Read raw storage slot

web3-cli contract storage 0x... 0

Get transaction receipt (execution status)

web3-cli receipt 0x...

Query event logs

web3-cli logs --address 0x... --from-block 17000000

Account & Security

Create a new account

web3-cli account create

Sign a message (EIP-191)

web3-cli account sign-message "Hello Web3"

Verify a signature

web3-cli account verify-message "Hello Web3" <signature> <address>
