Steps to setup a validator for testnet v1
- Clone the repository
cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/defi-ventures/BlockX-chain.git- Install the following for setup
apt get update
apt install make build-essential jq
wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.16.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz
rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.16.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin- Change the value of KEY, CHAINID, MONIKER, MNEMONIC in validator_node_setup.sh before running the validator node setup. You need to generate a mnemonic for the setup
cd ~/BlockX-chain
./validator_node_setup.sh- Replace the genesis file in ~/.blockxd/config/

- Add the following in seeds, persistent_peers in ~/.blockxd/config/config.toml
[email protected]:26656,[email protected]:26656
- Reset the local chain config
cd ~/BlockX-chain
./build/blockxd unsafe-reset-all- Start local node and check if its syncing
./build/blockxd start --pruning=nothing --rpc.unsafe --log_level "main:info,state:info,mempool:info" --trace- Start RPC (in a different terminal)
./build/blockxcli rest-server --laddr "tcp://0.0.0.0:8545" --chain-id blockx-11 --trace --rpc-api eth,net,web3 --unsafe-cors-
Acquire test tokens from the team for the address generated from the mnemonic
-
Run create validator command to become a validator in the network after the blockchain syncs completely(change values in commands accordingly). Amount should be of the format - abcx
./build/blockxcli tx staking create-validator --amount=<> --pubkey=$(./build/blockxd tendermint show-validator) --moniker=<> --chain-id=blockx-11 --commission-rate="0.10" --commission-max-rate="0.20" --commission-max-change-rate="0.01" --min-self-delegation="1" --gas="auto" --from=<>
