Setting Variables​

The areas you need to change are written below.

  • $ALIGNED_NODENAME your validator name
  • $ALIGNED_WALLET your wallet name
  • If another node is using the port, you can change it below. You must enter a different value where it says 11, again as two digits.
echo "export ALIGNED_NODENAME=$ALIGNED_NODENAME"  >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export ALIGNED_WALLET=$ALIGNED_WALLET" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export ALIGNED_PORT=11" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export ALIGNED_CHAIN_ID=alignedlayer" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Sample​

Let's assume that your Node (ALIGNED_NODENAME) and Wallet (ALIGNED_WALLET) name is Anatolian-Guide and the port you will use (ALIGNED_PORT) will be 16656. The code will be arranged as shown below.

echo "export ALIGNED_NODENAME=Anatolian-Guide"  >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export ALIGNED_WALLET=Anatolian-Guide" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export ALIGNED_PORT=16" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export ALIGNED_CHAIN_ID=alignedlayer" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Enabling and Starting the Service​

systemctl daemon-reload

Checking the Logs​

warning

AFTER THIS STAGE, WE EXPECT OUR NODE TO SYNC.

Checking Synchronization​

Unless we get a false output, we do not move on to the next step, namely creating a validator.

alignedlayerd status 2>&1 | jq -r .sync_info.catching_up

or

alignedlayerd status 2>&1 | jq .sync_info

Wallet​

Creating a New Wallet​

We do not change the $ALIGNED_WALLET section, we named our wallet with variables at the beginning of the installation.

alignedlayerd keys add $ALIGNED_WALLET

Importing an Existing Wallet​

alignedlayerd keys add $ALIGNED_WALLET --recover

Faucet​

And then request tokens from the faucet to your Aligned address.

Wallet and Valoper Info​

Here we add our wallet and valve information to the variable.

ALIGNED_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(alignedlayerd keys show $ALIGNED_WALLET -a)
ALIGNED_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(alignedlayerd keys show $ALIGNED_WALLET --bech val -a)
echo 'export ALIGNED_WALLET_ADDRESS='${ALIGNED_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export ALIGNED_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${ALIGNED_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Checking Wallet Balance​

alignedlayerd query bank balances $ALIGNED_WALLET_ADDRESS
warning

If the synchronization is completed, we proceed to the following step.

Creating Validator​

You do not need to make any changes to the following command other than the places specified below;

  • identity where it says XXXX1111XXXX1111 you write your identification number given to you as a member of the keybase site.
  • details You can write information about yourself where it says Always forward with the Anatolian Team 🐆.
  • website where it says https://anatolianteam.com, if you have a website or twitter etc. You can write your address.
  • security-contact Your email address.

Creating the validator.json File​

cd $HOME
echo "{\"pubkey\":{\"@type\":\"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey\",\"key\":\"$(alignedlayerd comet show-validator | grep -Po '\"key\":\s*\"\K[^"]*')\"},
    \"amount\": \"9900000stake\",
    \"moniker\": \"$ALIGNED_NODENAME\",
    \"commission-rate\": \"0.1\",
    \"commission-max-rate\": \"0.2\",
    \"commission-max-change-rate\": \"0.01\",
    \"min-self-delegation\": \"1\",
    \"details\": \"Always forward with the Anatolian Team 🐆\",
    \"security\": \"xxxxxxx@gmail.com\",
    \"website\": \"https://anatolianteam.com\",
    \"identity\": \"XXXX1111XXXX1111\"
}" > validator.json

Creating Validator Using the json File​

alignedlayerd tx staking create-validator $HOME/validator.json \
    --chain-id=$ALIGNED_CHAIN_ID \
    --gas-prices=0.25stake \
    --gas-adjustment=1.5 \
    --gas=auto \
    --from=$ALIGNED_WALLET \
    --yes
info

If you get an error, add this before --yes: --node=https://rpc-t-aligned.anatolianteam.com:443 \
