Show your wallet list
Save wallet info
Add wallet and validator address into variables
SIDE_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(sided keys show $WALLET -a)
SIDE_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(sided keys show $WALLET --bech val -a)
echo 'export SIDE_WALLET_ADDRESS='${SIDE_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export SIDE_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${SIDE_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
Fund your wallet
In order to create validator first you need to fund your wallet with discord faucet.
go to discord channel and #testnet-faucet channel
type
$request side-testnet-3 bcxxxxxxxxx
Create validator
check your wallet balance:
sided query bank balances $SIDE_WALLET_ADDRESS
To create your validator run command below
sided tx staking create-validator \
--amount 1000000uside \
--pubkey $(sided tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker "YOUR_MONIKER_NAME" \
--identity "YOUR_KEYBASE_ID" \
--details "YOUR_DETAILS" \
--website "YOUR_WEBSITE_URL" \
--chain-id side-testnet-3 \
--commission-rate 0.05 \
--commission-max-rate 0.20 \
--commission-max-change-rate 0.05 \
--min-self-delegation 1 \
--from wallet \
--gas-adjustment 1.4 \
--gas auto \
--gas-prices 0.005uside \
-y
Check your validator key
[[ $(sided q staking validator $SIDE_VALOPER_ADDRESS -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(sided 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
sided 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
