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
