Validator setup for Babylon Chain

Create keys and validator

🙋‍♀️

Make sure to change values for moniker, identity, details website to your own values.

#Create the wallet ( replace #keyname with whatever name you want)
babylond keys add #keyname
 
# Create bls key and restart the node after adding bls key
babylond create-bls-key $(babylond keys show wallet -a)
sudo systemctl restart babylond

Now create validator.json and place it somewhere you will know. Run this command and insert pubkey in json file.

babylond tendermint show-validator

#Now create the validator 
babylond tx staking create-validator \
--amount=1000000ubbn \
--pubkey=$( babylond tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker=validatorName \
--commission-rate=”0.05″ \
--commission-max-rate=”0.20″ \
--commission-max-change-rate=”0.01″ \
--min-self-delegation=”1″ \
--identity=keybaseIdNumber \
--details=“write info about your validators for example what type of service you ofer etc.” \
--website=“https://cogwheel.zone for example” \

And execute the transaction on the blockchain

babylond tx checkpointing create-validator /path/to/validator.json \
    --chain-id="bbn-test-3" \
    --gas="auto" \
    --gas-adjustment="1.5" \
    --gas-prices="0.025ubbn" \
    --from=keyName
