After Node Sync you can go to the next step

• create wallet

• create validator

• delegate validator

to check if your node is already Sync you can use

wardend status 2>&1 | jq -r '.SyncInfo.catching_up // .sync_info.catching_up'

If the return is True your node is still sync up, if its return false then your node already sync

Sync Status

Create Wallet

wardend keys add wallet

after creat wallet request faucet to your wallet

Check Wallet Address

wardend keys list

Request Faucet

curl -XPOST -d '{"address": "your-wallet-address"}' https://faucet.buenavista.wardenprotocol.org

Change your-wallet-address with your wallet address

Create Validator

Showing Pubkey Wallet

wardend comet show-validator

Copy content of your Key : "this-key" to create validator.json

Create file validator.json

nano validator.json

{    
    "pubkey": {"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"this-key"},
    "amount": "1000000uward",
    "moniker": "your-node-moniker",
    "identity": "eqlab testnet validator",
    "website": "optional website for your validator",
    "security": "optional security contact for your validator",
    "details": "optional details for your validator",
    "commission-rate": "0.1",
    "commission-max-rate": "0.2",
    "commission-max-change-rate": "0.01",
    "min-self-delegation": "1"
}

change of "pubkey": {"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"this-key"} this-key from saved key

and change moniker, identity, website, security, details with your own credentials

to save the file press ctrl + x then y

Save File from nano

Create validator command

wardend tx staking create-validator validator.json \
    --from=wallet \
    --chain-id=buenavista-1 \
    --fees=500uward

if you got error fees change it more than requested from error chain

Delegate Validator

Run Command

Check Valoper Address

wardend keys show wallet --bech val -a

Its showing your valoper address copy it for delegate your validator

wardend tx staking delegate YOUR_TO_VALOPER_ADDRESS 1000000uward --from wallet --chain-id buenavista-1 --gas-prices 0.01uward --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto -y 

Change YOUR_TO_VALOPER_ADDRESS with your address
