Interacting with the network

To interact with the network (currently fargo post cast) you will need an app keypair (private/public). At the moment, Fargo does not provide a way to generate these keys, but you can use a service like https://www.castkeys.xyz to generate them.

Check out fargo post cast --help for more info.
