Key basics

# Key Management

In this tutorial, we'll explore the usage of the `commune` Python package for managing keys, balances, stakes, and key statistics.

## Getting Started

First, you need to import the `commune` module:

```python
import commune as c
```

Listing Keys

To start, let's list all the available keys using the keys() function:

c.keys()

Adding and Removing Keys

You can add and remove keys with the following steps:

Adding a New Key

To add a new key, use the add_key() function:

c.add_key('fam')

Removing a Key

To remove a key, use the rm_key() function:

c.rm_key('demo')  # Replace 'demo' with the key you want to remove

Saving and Loading Keys

You can save and load keys for future use:

Saving Keys

To save the keys, use the save_keys() function:

c.save_keys()

Loading Keys

To load the saved keys, use the load_keys() function:

c.load_keys()

Retrieving Balances and Stakes

You can retrieve balance and stake information for a specific key:

Balance

To get the balance for a key, use the get_balance() function:

c.get_balance('fam')  # Replace 'fam' with the key name

Stake

To get the stake for a key, use the get_stake() function:

c.get_stake('fam')  # Replace 'fam' with the key name

Retrieving Key Statistics

You can also retrieve key statistics for each subnet associated with a key:

c.key_stats('fam')  # Replace 'fam' with the key name
