Deploy a Testnet
Software Setup Manual Installation
- Install GNU Wget:
MacOS
brew install wget
Linux
sudo apt-get install wget
Note: You can check other available options for downloading wget
here.
Get Source Code
go get github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk
Now we can fetch the correct versions of each dependency by running:
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk
git fetch --all
git checkout 0f2aa6b
make get_tools // run $ make update_tools if already installed
make get_vendor_deps
make install
The latest binaries should now be installed. Verify that everything is OK by running:
gaiad version
You should see:
0.15.0-rc0-0f2aa6b
And also:
gaiacli version
You should see:
0.15.0-rc0-0f2aa6b
Genesis Setup
Initiliaze gaiad
:
gaiad init
You can find the corresponding genesis files here. Then replace the genesis.json
and config.toml
files:
rm $HOME/.gaiad/config/genesis.json $HOME/.gaiad/config/config.toml $HOME/.gaiad/config/addrbook.json
wget -O $HOME/.gaiad/config/genesis.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cosmos/testnet/master/gaia-4000/genesis.json
wget -O $HOME/.gaiad/config/config.toml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cosmos/testnet/master/gaia-4000/config.toml
Lastly change the moniker
string in theconfig.toml
to identify your node.
# A custom human readable name for this node
moniker = "<your_custom_name>"
Starting Gaiad
Start the full node:
gaiad start
Check the everything is running smoothly:
gaiacli status
Generate keys
You'll need a private and public key pair a.k.a. `sk, pk` respectively
to be able to receive funds, send txs, bond tx, etc.
To generate your a new key default _ed25519_ elliptic curve
:
gaiacli keys add default
Next, you will have to enter a passphrase for your key twice. Save the seed phrase in a safe place in case you forget the password.
Now if you check your private keys you will see the key among them:
gaiacli keys list
Getting Coins
Go to the faucet in http://atomexplorer.com/ and claim some coins for your testnet by typing the address of your key, as printed out above.
Send tokens
gaiacli send --amount=1000fermion --chain-id=gaia-4000 --sequence=0 --name=default --to=<destination_address>
The --amount
flag defines the corresponding amount of the coin in the format --amount=<value|coin_name>
The --sequence
flag corresponds to the sequence number to sign the tx.
Now check the destination account and your own account to check the updated balances by default the latest block
:
gaiacli account <destination_address>
gaiacli account <your_address>
Staking: Becoming a Validator
Get your public key by typing:
gaiad show_validator
Take the base64 encoded string from the value field and use this to convert it to hex.
Change Group by
to None
.
Send the bonding transaction:
Remember to use your own validator address or use mine if you want to delegate to me.
gaiacli bond --stake=6steak --validator=45798afe9b0cd7a05b765107b744478f91848d18a54ce7d06daace1c71a56913 --sequence=0 --chain-id=gaia-4000 --name=default
