 Generally we should avoid shell scripting and write tests purely in Golang.
 However, some libraries are not Goroutine-safe (e.g. app simulations cannot be run safely in parallel),
 and OS-native threading may be more efficient for many parallel simulations, so we use shell scripts here.

+### Validate Gentxs
+A custom utility script is available to [validate gentxs](./validate-gentxs.sh). Though we have 
+`ValidateBasic()` for validating gentx data, it cannot validate signatures. This custom script helps
+to validate all the gentxs by collecting them one by one and starting a local network.
+It requires the following env settings.
+```shell
+export DAEMON=gaiad
+export CHAIN_ID=cosmoshub-1
+export DENOM=uatom
+export GH_URL=https://github.com/cosmos/gaia
+export BINARY_VERSION=v1.0.0
+export GO_VERSION=1.15.2
+export PRELAUNCH_GENESIS_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cosmos/mainnet/main/cosmoshub-1/genesis-prelaunch.json
+export GENTXS_DIR=~/go/src/github.com/cosmos/mainnet/$CHAIN_ID/gentxs
+```
+
+Though this script is handy for verifying the gentxs locally, it is advised to use Github Action to validate gentxs.
+An example can be found here:
+https://github.com/regen-network/mainnet/blob/0bcd387671b9574e893289e39c08a1643cac7d62/.github/workflows/validate-gentx.yml
