Use a lane

Every user flow is a caravel command that waits for what it needs.

Command	What it does
caravel account create alice --amount 100	An identity with XLM, a trustline to the settlement token and some of it (minted on a local network; bought on the DEX for Circle's testnet USDC)
caravel deposit alice 50	Deposits into the lane and returns once the lane has credited it
caravel tx --from alice transfer --to @bob --amount 5	A lane transaction in the template's syntax, signed with SEP-53 through the keystore, returned once a block has it
caravel balance alice	The account on Stellar and on the lane
caravel withdraw alice 10	The withdrawal, then its leaf in an accepted checkpoint, then the claim on Stellar
caravel claim alice	Claims every unclaimed withdrawal
caravel force-withdraw alice 10	Asks the settlement contract for a withdrawal the lane must include, then claims it
caravel escape alice	After a freeze: the account's withdrawals and its share of the last checkpoint
caravel api /v1/accounts/G…	Any path of the lane's API, as JSON

@name stands for an identity's Stellar address. Every command takes --json for scripts.

For an app, talk to the lane's API directly: caravel tx is a convenience, and each call signs, sends and waits.
