Add wallet and validator address into variables

SYMPHONY_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(symphonyd keys show $WALLET -a)
SYMPHONY_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(symphonyd keys show $WALLET --bech val -a)
echo 'export SYMPHONY_WALLET_ADDRESS='${SYMPHONY_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export SYMPHONY_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${SYMPHONY_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Create validator

check your wallet balance:

symphonyd query bank balances $SYMPHONY_WALLET_ADDRESS

To create your validator run command below

symphonyd tx staking create-validator \
  --amount 1000000note \
  --from $WALLET \
  --commission-max-change-rate "0.01" \
  --commission-max-rate "0.2" \
  --commission-rate "0.1" \
  --min-self-delegation "1" \
  --pubkey  $(symphonyd tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker $NODENAME \
  --chain-id $SYMPHONY_CHAIN_ID
  --gas-adjustment 1.4 \
  --gas auto \
  --fees 800note

Check your validator key

[[ $(symphonyd q staking validator $SYMPHONY_VALOPER_ADDRESS -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(symphonyd status | jq -r .validator_info.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

symphonyd 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
