Check sync status

curl localhost:26657/status | jq

Check block sync left

while true; do
    local_height=$(curl -s localhost:26657/status | jq -r '.result.sync_info.latest_block_height');
    network_height=$(curl -s https://odyssey.storyrpc.io/status | jq -r '.result.sync_info.latest_block_height');

Create Validator

Export validator public key & private key

This will print out your validator public key file in compressed and uncompressed formats. By default, we use the hex-encoded compressed key for public identification.

Compressed Public Key (hex): 03bdc7b8940babe9226d52d7fa299a1faf3d64a82f809889256c8f146958a63984
Compressed Public Key (base64): A73HuJQLq+kibVLX+imaH689ZKgvgJiJJWyPFGlYpjmE
Uncompressed Public Key (hex): 04bdc7b8940babe9226d52d7fa299a1faf3d64a82f809889256c8f146958a6398496b9e2af0a3a1d199c3cc1d09ee899336a530c185df6b46a9735b25e79a493af
EVM Address: 0x9EacBe2C3B1eb0a9FC14106d97bd3A1F89efdDCc
Validator Address: storyvaloper1p470h0jtph4n5hztallp8vznq8ehylsw9vpddx
Delegator Address: story1p470h0jtph4n5hztallp8vznq8ehylswtr4vxd

In addition, if you want to export the derived EVM private key of your validator into the default data config directory, please run the following:

story validator export --export-evm-key

Note that to participate in consensus, at least 1 IP must be staked (equivalent to 1000000000000000000 wei)! get yours at https://faucet.story.foundation/

Create Validator

story validator create --stake 1024000000000000000000 --private-key "your_private_key" --moniker "your_moniker_name"

Validator Staking

story validator stake \
   --validator-pubkey "VALIDATOR_PUB_KEY_IN_HEX" \
   --stake 1024000000000000000000 \
   --private-key xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Replace VALIDATOR_PUB_KEY_IN_HEX Amount: 1024000000000000000000=1024 IP Token

Check your validator on explorer

Get your validator info

curl -s localhost:26657/status | jq -r '.result.validator_info'

Paste the hex validator addres you got to the https://testnet.story.explorers.guru/ search bar
