start service:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable sedad

sudo systemctl restart sedad && journalctl -f -u sedad

System reload

sudo systemctl daemon-reload 

Start service

sudo service sedad start

Start Node

sedad start

Check logs

sudo journalctl -fu sedad

Check Node status

sedad status

Do not proceed with further steps until this process is finished. 'catching_up' field MUST return 'false'

Create new wallet

sedad keys add <new-wallet>

This command will generate your wallet's mnemonic and address. It's crucial to write these down and store them securely.

Create new validator

sedad comet show-validator

The output will be something like this:

{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"ZXONS7NNjLWH4HePBOoHKDAYeLXQO5iUwpCRQSi1poI="}

Create validator file

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

Input data to validator.json file. Replace at "pubkey": {....} from show-validator output

{
	"pubkey": {"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"ZXONS7NNjLWH4HePBOoHKDAYeLXQO5iUwpCRQSi1poI="},
	"amount": "1000000aseda",

Check wallet balances:

sedad q bank balances <yourwallet>

Create VALIDATOR:

sedad tx staking create-validator $HOME/.sedad/config/validator.json --from wallet --chain-id seda-1-dryrun --gas-prices 0.005aseda --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto -y

COMMAND

Check validator status:

sedad status 2>&1 | jq .ValidatorInfo

sedad status info
