To recover your wallet using seed phrase

```
entangled keys add $WALLET --recover
```

Show your wallet list

```
entangled keys list
```

#### Save wallet info

Add wallet and validator address into variables

```
ENTANGLE_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(entangled keys show $WALLET -a)
ENTANGLE_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(entangled keys show $WALLET --bech val -a)
echo 'export ENTANGLE_WALLET_ADDRESS='${ENTANGLE_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export ENTANGLE_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${ENTANGLE_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
```

#### Fund your wallet

export your wallet to evm private key and import into that private key into metamask

```
entangled keys unsafe-export-eth-key $WALLET
```

```
Go to Discord channel #faucets and store your evm wallet address
```

#### Create validator

check your wallet balance:

```
entangled query bank balances $ENTANGLE_WALLET_ADDRESS
```

To create your validator run command below

```
entangled tx staking create-validator \
  --amount 5000000000000000000aNGL \
  --from $WALLET \
  --commission-max-change-rate "0.01" \
  --commission-max-rate "0.2" \
  --commission-rate "0.1" \
  --min-self-delegation "1" \
  --pubkey  $(entangled tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker $NODENAME \
  --chain-id $ENTANGLE_CHAIN_ID
  --gas=500000 \
  --gas-prices="10aNGL" 
```

#### Check your validator key

```
[[ $(entangled q staking validator $ENTANGLE_VALOPER_ADDRESS -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(entangled status | jq -r .ValidatorInfo.PubKey.value) ]] && echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[32mTrue\e[0m\n" || echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[31mFalse\e[0m\n"
```

#### Get list of validators

```
entangled q staking validators -oj --limit=3000 | jq '.validators[] | select(.status=="BOND_STATUS_BONDED")' | jq -r '(.tokens|tonumber/pow(10; 6)|floor|tostring) + " \t " + .description.moniker' | sort -gr | nl
```

```

Redelegate stake from validator to another validator

```
entangled tx staking redelegate <srcValidatorAddress> <destValidatorAddress> 5000000000000000000aNGL --from=$WALLET --chain-id=$ENTANGLE_CHAIN_ID --gas=auto
```

Withdraw all rewards

```
entangled tx distribution withdraw-all-rewards --from=$WALLET --chain-id=$ENTANGLE_CHAIN_ID --gas=auto
```

Withdraw rewards with commision

```
entangled tx distribution withdraw-rewards $ENTANGLE_VALOPER_ADDRESS --from=$WALLET --commission --chain-id=$ENTANGLE_CHAIN_ID
```

#### Validator management
