📝 Create Validator

1️⃣ Create wallet

wardend keys add wallet

Save all information after entering the command, without this you will not be able to restore data to the wallet. SAVE SEED PHRASE (12 words). ▶️ Example: address: warden1vcxv7xc6hjf1212340chefqwny7q55judnpsk # Your wallet name: wallet pubkey: '{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.secp256k1.PubKey","key":"AqgSEuNIGf5137XYrYEfwKMKrKPM9p3hunnl1XNEGf"}' type: local

Request tokens to your address in faucet's discord channel

In the chat, write $request add ress

$request address

3️⃣ Show priv_validator_key.json

cat $HOME/.warden/config/priv_validator_key.json

SAVE YOUR PRIVATE KEY AFTER ENTERING THE COMMAND

4️⃣ Create validator

Create a validator.json file

touch $HOME/.warden/config/validator.json

To find out your pubkey, use the command (Save your Pubkey)

wardend comet show-validator

Output Example:

The output will be similar to this (with a different key):

{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"lR1d7YBVK5jYijOfWVKRFoWCsS4dg3kagT7LB9GnG8I="}

Open a validator.json file

nano $HOME/.warden/config/validator.json

Paste this into the open validator.json file, pre-replacing all values ​​that start with $ (you can do it in any convenient editor, not directly in nano mode)

{
        "pubkey": {$PUBKEY},
        "amount": "1000000award",
        "moniker": "$MONIKER",
        "identity": "$IDENTITY",
        "website": "",
        "security": "$EMAIL",
        "details": "$DETAILS",
        "commission-rate": "0.1",
        "commission-max-rate": "0.2",
        "commission-max-change-rate": "0.01",
        "min-self-delegation": "1"
}

◽ 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.

WEBSITE - your website/github/twitter, etc., if you don't want to specify anything - leave it blank

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

{
        "pubkey": {"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"lR1d7YBVK5jYijOfWVKRFoWCsS4123dg3kagT7LB9GnG8I="},
        "amount": "1000000award",
        "moniker": "Oliver",
        "identity": "", #if you have your identifier, replace it, or leave it blank
        "website": "", #if you have your website, replace it, or leave it blank
        "security": "[e-mail]",
        "details": "A reliable validator", 
        "commission-rate": "0.1",
        "commission-max-rate": "0.2",
        "commission-max-change-rate": "0.01",
        "min-self-delegation": "1"
}

After creating the validator.json and entering all the necessary information, as well as provided that there are tokens in the wallet, run the create command:

wardend tx staking create-validator $HOME/.warden/config/validator.json \
--chain-id buenavista-1 \
--gas-adjustment="1.5" \
--fees 250000000000000award \
--from wallet
