⚙️ Validator Commands

Create validator

symphonyd tx staking create-validator \
--amount 1000000note \
--pubkey $(symphonyd tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker "$YOUR_MONIKER" \ #Validator name, displayed in explorers.
--identity "" \ #Use your KeyBase ID. If you don't have one, leave it empty.
--website "" \ #Your website is available, or leave the field blank
--details "" \ #Any details about your validator.
--from wallet \ # Change the wallet name if you have a different one
--chain-id symphony-testnet-4 \
--gas-adjustment 1.4 \
--gas auto \
--fees 5000note \
-y

You can leave the text after # unchanged - it's a commented hint that won't affect validator creation.

◽ Replace the following values with your own: WALLET - usually it's 'wallet', or your wallet's name. MONIKER - any convenient name for your validator, displayed in the explorer. IDENTITY - validator's avatar, displayed in the explorer. Create a KeyBase ID following the instructions or leave it empty, and it will default to a standard one. DETAILS - details about your validator, also displayed in the explorer.

Replace all necessary values indicated above with the $ sign to successfully create your validator. ◽ Example:

symphonyd tx staking create-validator \
--amount 1000000note \
--pubkey $(symphonyd tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker "Unity Nodes" \ #Validator name, displayed in explorers.
--identity "" \ #Use your KeyBase ID. If you don't have one, leave it empty.
--website "https://unitynodes.com" \ #Your website is available, or leave the field blank
--details "A reliable validator of your network" \ #Any details about your validator.
--from wallet \ # Change the wallet name if you have a different one

⚙️ Utility

Set Custom Port

# Change CUSTOM_PORT to any other value, or leave it as is.
CUSTOM_PORT=25
sed -i.bak -e "s%:26658%:${CUSTOM_PORT}658%; s%:26657%:${CUSTOM_PORT}657%; s%:6060%:${CUSTOM_PORT}060%; s%:26656%:${CUSTOM_PORT}656%; s%:26660%:${CUSTOM_PORT}660%" $HOME/.symphonyd/config/config.toml && sed -i.bak -e "s%:9090%:${CUSTOM_PORT}090%; s%:9091%:${CUSTOM_PORT}091%; s%:1317%:${CUSTOM_PORT}317%; s%:8545%:${CUSTOM_PORT}545%; s%:8546%:${CUSTOM_PORT}546%; s%:6065%:${CUSTOM_PORT}065%" $HOME/.symphonyd/config/app.toml && sed -i.bak -e "s%:26657%:${CUSTOM_PORT}657%" $HOME/.symphonyd/config/client.toml
sudo systemctl restart symphonyd
journalctl -u symphonyd -f -o cat

Set Indexer

• null: Disables indexing, reducing the use of server resources, but does not allow fast data searches.

• kv: Enables key-value indexing, which increases CPU and disk usage, but improves the speed of indexed data queries.

Indexing allows faster processing of requests, but can increase the load on server resources.

null

sed -i 's|^indexer *=.*|indexer = "null"|' $HOME/.symphonyd/config/config.toml

kv

sed -i 's|^indexer *=.*|indexer = "kv"|' $HOME/.symphonyd/config/config.toml

Update Pruning

Prunig allows blockchain nodes to delete old transaction data to reduce disk space usage, while retaining the information necessary to ensure the security and operation of the network.

Pruning configuration - 100/0/10

sed -i.bak -e 's|^pruning *=.*|pruning = "custom"|; s|^pruning-keep-recent *=.*|pruning-keep-recent = "100"|; s|^pruning-keep-every *=.*|pruning-keep-every = "0"|; s|^pruning-interval *=.*|pruning-interval = "10"|' $HOME/.symphonyd/config/app.toml

Reset node

symphonyd tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.symphonyd --keep-addr-book

Get denom info

symphonyd q bank denom-metadata -oj | jq

Get Node Peer

echo $(symphonyd tendermint show-node-id)'@'$(curl -s ifconfig.me)':'$(cat $HOME/.symphonyd/config/config.toml | sed -n '/Address to listen for incoming connection/{n;p;}' | sed 's/.*://; s/".*//') 

Update server name

 sudo hostnamectl set-hostname server_name

How much SSD use node (currently)

du -sh $HOME/.symphonyd/

How much RAM use node (currently)

ps -p $(pgrep symphonyd) -o rss= | awk '{printf("The process uses memory:: %.2f MB\n", $1/1024)}'

How much CPU use node (currently)

ps -C symphonyd -o %cpu --no-headers | awk '{print $1"% CPU"}'

Delete node

sudo systemctl stop symphonyd
sudo systemctl disable symphonyd
sudo rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/symphonyd.service
sudo rm $(which symphonyd)
sudo rm -rf $HOME/.symphonyd
sudo rm -rf $HOME/symphony
