Guide to Launching a Validator Node in the Nibiru Project

Step 1: Preparing the Server

1. Choosing and setting up the server:

   • It is recommended to use a server with Ubuntu 20.04 or newer.
   • Minimum requirements: 4 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 200 GB SSD.

2. Updating the system:

   sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
   
   

Step 2: Installing Dependencies

1. Install necessary packages:

   sudo apt install build-essential git curl jq -y
   
   

2. Install Go:

   • Download and install Go (version 1.18 or newer):

   wget <https://golang.org/dl/go1.18.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz>
   sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.18.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
   echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.profile
   source ~/.profile
   
   

Step 3: Downloading and Compiling Nibiru

1. Cloning the repository:

   git clone <https://github.com/nibiruchain/nibiru.git>
   cd nibiru
   git checkout <latest-release-tag>
   
   

2. Compiling:

   make install
   
   

3. Verifying the installation:

   nibid version
   
   

Step 4: Initializing the Node

1. Initializing the node configuration:

   nibid init <your-node-name> --chain-id nibiru-<chain-id>
   
   

2. Adding the genesis file and configuration:

   • Download the genesis file:

   curl -s <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nibiruchain/networks/main/nibiru-><chain-id>/genesis.json > ~/.nibid/config/genesis.json
   
   

3. Adding peers:

   • Find and add peers in the ~/.nibid/config/config.toml file.

Step 5: Configuring the Validator

1. Creating keys:

   nibid keys add <validator-name>
   
   

2. Obtaining tokens for staking:

   • Request tokens from a faucet or obtain them through other available means.
