Guidance for Validator
Create wallet
To create new wallet you can use command below. Don’t forget to save the mnemonic
uniond keys add $WALLET
To recover your wallet using seed phrase
uniond keys add $WALLET --recover
Show your wallet list
Save wallet info
Add wallet and validator address into variables
UNION_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(uniond keys show $WALLET -a)
UNION_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(uniond keys show $WALLET --bech val -a)
echo 'export UNION_WALLET_ADDRESS='${UNION_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export UNION_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${UNION_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.
Create validator
check your wallet balance:
uniond query bank balances $UNION_WALLET_ADDRESS
To create your validator run command below
uniond comet show-validator
The output will be similar to this (with a different key):
{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.bn254.PubKey","key":"lR1d7YBVK5jYijOfWVKRFoWCsS4dg3kagT7LB9GnG8I="}
Then, create a file named validator.json with the following content:
{
"pubkey": {"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.bn254.PubKey","key":"lR1d7YBVK5jYijOfWVKRFoWCsS4dg3kagT7LB9GnG8I="},
"amount": "1000000muno",
"moniker": "your-node-moniker",
"identity": "eqlab testnet validator",
"website": "optional website for your validator",
"security": "optional security contact for your validator",
"details": "optional details for your validator",
"commission-rate": "0.1",
"commission-max-rate": "0.2",
"commission-max-change-rate": "0.01",
"min-self-delegation": "1"
}
Finally, we're ready to submit the transaction to create the validator:
uniond tx staking create-validator validator.json \
--from=$WALLET \
--chain-id=$UNION_CHAIN_ID \
--gas-adjustment 1.4 \
--gas auto \
--gas-prices 0muno
Check your validator key
[[ $(uniond q staking validator $UNION_VALOPER_ADDRESS -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(uniond 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
uniond 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
