Installation & Configuration

a. Build the wardend binary and initalize the chain home folder: replace <custom_moniker> by your monkier

git clone --depth 1 --branch v0.3.0 https://github.com/warden-protocol/wardenprotocol/

cd wardenprotocol

make build-wardend

cd build

sudo cp wardend /usr/local/bin/

wardend version

wardend init <custom_moniker>

b. Prepare the genesis file:

cd $HOME/.warden/config
rm genesis.json
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/warden-protocol/networks/main/testnets/buenavista/genesis.json

c. And set some mandatory configuration options:

# Set minimum gas price & peers
sed -i 's/minimum-gas-prices = ""/minimum-gas-prices = "0.0025uward"/' app.toml
sed -i 's/persistent_peers = ""/persistent_peers = "[e-mail]:26656,[e-mail]:26656,[e-mail]:26656"/' config.toml

d. Add Peer:

SEEDS="[e-mail]:18656"
PEERS="[e-mail]:18656,61446070887838944c455cb713a7770b41f35ac5@37.60.249.101:26656,0be8cf6de2a01a6dc7adb29a801722fe4d061455@65.109.115.100:27060,8288657cb2ba075f600911685670517d18f54f3b@65.108.231.124:18656,dc0122e37c203dec43306430a1f1879650653479@37.27.97.16:26656,6fb5cf2179ca9dd98ababd1c8d29878b2021c5c3@146.19.24.175:26856"

Create a validator

If you want to create a validator in the testnet, follow the instructions in the Creating a validator section.

Create Wallet

wardend keys add wallet

Faucet token: replace < your-address> by your warden address

curl -XPOST -d '{"address": "<your-address>"}' https://faucet.buenavista.wardenprotocol.org

Check Banlance

wardend q bank balances $(wardend keys show wallet -a)

Create a new validator

Once the node is synced and you have the required WARD, you can become a validator.

To create a validator and initialize it with a self-delegation, you need to create a validator.json file and submit a create-validator transaction.

Obtain your validator public key by running the following command:

wardend comet show-validator

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

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

Create validator.json file

nano validator.json

The validator.json file has the following format: Change your personal information accordingly

{    
"pubkey": {"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"lR1d7YBVK5jYijOfWVKRFoWCsS4dg3kagT7LB9GnG8I="},
"amount": "1000000uward",
"moniker": "your-node-moniker",
"identity": "Dzinlab validator",
"website": "optional website for your validator",
"security": "optional security contact for your validator",
"details": "optional details for your validator",
"commission-rate": "0.1",
"commission-max-rate": "0.2",
"commission-max-change-rate": "0.01",
"min-self-delegation": "1"
}

Finally, we're ready to submit the transaction to create the validator:

wardend tx staking create-validator $HOME/validator.json \
--from=wallet \
--chain-id=buenavista-1 \
--fees=500uward

Explorer

https://explorer.nodesync.top/Warden-Testnet/staking

Delegate Token to your own validator

    wardend tx staking delegate $(wardend keys show wallet --bech val -a)  1000000uward \
    --from=wallet \
    --chain-id=buenavista-1 \
    --fees=500uward

Withdraw rewards and commission from your validator

    wardend tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(wardend keys show wallet --bech val -a) \
    --from wallet \
    --commission \
    --chain-id=buenavista-1 \
    --fees=500uward

Unjail validator

    wardend tx slashing unjail \
    --from wallet \
    --commission \
    --chain-id=buenavista-1 \
    --fees=500uward
