Write your moniker name

Copy CUSTOM_MONIKER="haqq_node_testedge2"

Cofigure TestEdge2 chain-id

Copy haqqd config chain-id haqq_54211-3

Initialize node

Copy haqqd init CUSTOM_MONIKER --chain-id haqq_54211-3

Generate keys (if you haven't already done it)

We recommend using Tendermint KMS that allows separating key management from Tendermint nodes. It is recommended that the KMS service runs in a separate physical hosts.

Copy haqqd keys add <name>

Prepare genesis file for TestEdge2

Download genesis zip file

Copy curl -OL curl -OL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haqq-network/testnets/main/TestEdge2/genesis.tar.bz2

Unzip file

Copy bzip2 -d genesis.tar.bz2 && tar -xvf genesis.tar

Update genesis file

Copy mv genesis.json $HOME/.haqqd/config/genesis.json

Configure State sync

Download script for state sync auto configuration

Copy curl -OL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haqq-network/testnets/main/TestEdge2/state_sync.sh

List of seeds already included in script

Copy SEEDS="62bf004201a90ce00df6f69390378c3d90f6dd7e@seed2.testedge2.haqq.network:26656,23a1176c9911eac442d6d1bf15f92eeabb3981d5@seed1.testedge2.haqq.network:26656"

Grant rights to the script and execute it

Copy chmod +x state_sync.sh && ./state_sync.sh

Start Haqq node

Copy haqqd start

Upgrade to Validator Node

You now have an active full node. What's the next step? You can upgrade your full node to become a Haqq Validator. The top 100 validators have the ability to propose new blocks to the Haqq Network. Continue onto the Validator Setup (opens new window).
