Install evmosd

Can be downloaded, or following this installtation document: https://docs.evmos.org/validators/quickstart/installation.html

Initialize Node

Before actually running the node, we need to initialize the chain, and most importantly its genesis file. This is done with the init subcommand:

./build/evmosd init ValidatorName --chain-id=balcony_888888-1 --home .evmosd

Copy the Genesis File

cp -rf .evmosd_validator/config/ .evmosd/

Adding Genesis Accounts

Before starting the chain, you need to populate the state with at least one account using the keyring:

./build/evmosd keys add validator_key --recover --home .evmosd

You must be input your mnemonic and password

Once you have created a local account, go ahead and grant it some orain tokens in your chain's genesis file. Doing so will also make sure your chain is aware of this account's existence:

./build/evmosd add-genesis-account validator_key 100000000000000000000000orain --home .evmosd

Create tx for genesis account

./build/evmosd gentx validator_key 100000000000000000000000orain --chain-id balcony_888888-1 --home .evmosd

Collecting gentx

By default, the genesis file do not contain any gentxs. A gentx is a transaction that bonds staking token present in the genesis file under accounts to a validator, essentially creating a validator at genesis. The chain will start as soon as more than 2/3rds of the validators (weighted by voting power) that are the recipient of a valid gentx come online after genesis_time.

A gentx can be added manually to the genesis file, or via the following command:

./build/evmosd collect-gentxs --home .evmosd

Run Testnet

Now that everything is set up, you can finally start your node:

./build/evmosd start --log_level error --p2p.persistent_peers ‘ef10d03eaef41666726b48dfcb62d689cf662103@165.227.70.143:26656’ —json-rpc.api eth,txpool,personal,net,debug,web3 --home .evmosd
