Download and extract snapshot for fast sync

Special thanks to josephtran for providing the snapshots. You can find the instructions here: https://service.josephtran.xyz/testnet/zero-gravity-0g/validator-node/snapshot

Create or recover wallet

Dont forget to save mnemonic

create wallet

0gchaind keys add $WALLET_NAME --eth

recover wallet

0gchaind keys add $WALLET_NAME --eth --recover

Set var wallet and validator addresses

WALLET_ADDRESS=$(0gchaind keys show $WALLET_NAME -a)
VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(0gchaind keys show $WALLET_NAME --bech val -a)
echo "export WALLET_ADDRESS="$WALLET_ADDRESS >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export VALOPER_ADDRESS="$VALOPER_ADDRESS >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Request tokens from the faucet 🆓

The faucet gives you 1 A0GI = 1,000,000 ua0gi

Extract the HEX address to request some tokens from the faucet

echo "0x$(0gchaind debug addr $(0gchaind keys show $WALLET_NAME -a) | grep hex | awk '{print $3}')"

https://faucet.0g.ai/

check balance

0gchaind query bank balances $WALLET_ADDRESS

Create a Validator

0gchaind tx staking create-validator \
--amount=1000000ua0gi \
--pubkey=$(0gchaind tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker="$MONIKER" \
--chain-id=zgtendermint_16600-2 \
--commission-rate="0.10" \
--commission-max-rate="0.20" \
--commission-max-change-rate="0.01" \
--details="" \
--website="" \
--min-self-delegation="1" \
--from="$WALLET_NAME" \
--gas=auto \
--gas-adjustment=1.4 \
-y

Useful commands ⚙️

Node status

0gchaind status 2>&1 | jq

Query your validator

0gchaind q staking validator $(0gchaind keys show $WALLET_NAME --bech val -a)

Delegate tokens to your validator

0gchaind tx staking delegate $(0gchaind keys show $WALLET_NAME --bech val -a) 1000000ua0gi --from $WALLET_NAME --chain-id zgtendermint_16600-1 --gas=auto --gas-adjustment=1.6 -y
