## Create your Own Testnet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To create your own testnet, first each validator will need to install gaiad and run gen-tx
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
gaiad init gen-tx --name <account_name>
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This populations `$HOME/.gaiad/gen-tx/` with a json file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now these json files need to be aggregated together via Github, a Google form, pastebin or other methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Place all files on one computer in `$HOME/.gaiad/gen-tx/`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
2018-08-30 18:33:48 -07:00
|
|
|
gaiad init --with-txs -o --chain=<chain-name>
|
2018-08-13 12:41:07 -07:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will generate a `genesis.json` in `$HOME/.gaiad/config/genesis.json` distribute this file to all validators on your testnet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Export state
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To export state and reload (useful for testing purposes):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
gaiad export > genesis.json; cp genesis.json ~/.gaiad/config/genesis.json; gaiad start
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
