# Gaiadebug Simple tool for simple debugging. We try to accept both hex and base64 formats and provide a useful response. Note we often encode bytes as hex in the logs, but as base64 in the JSON. ## Pubkeys The following give the same result: ``` gaiadebug pubkey TZTQnfqOsi89SeoXVnIw+tnFJnr4X8qVC0U8AsEmFk4= gaiadebug pubkey 4D94D09DFA8EB22F3D49EA17567230FAD9C5267AF85FCA950B453C02C126164E ``` ## Txs Pass in a hex/base64 tx and get back the full JSON ``` gaiadebug tx ``` ## Hack This is a command with boilerplate for using Go as a scripting language to hack on an existing Gaia state. Currently we have an example for the state of gaia-6001 after it [crashed](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/master/cmd/gaia/testnets/STATUS.md#june-13-2018-230-est---published-postmortem-of-gaia-6001-failure). If you run `gaiadebug hack $HOME/.gaiad` on that state, it will do a binary search on the state history to find when the state invariant was violated.
