Gno.land

For Ubuntu 22.04 or later, following the network's VALIDATOR.md in the gno repo: the version the network runs now, its required config and its genesis checksum. Syncing from genesis stops at every past upgrade height; restart the node and it continues. After registering, a GovDAO proposal adds you to the validator set.

   Copy

8. 08Download and verify the genesis

   wget -O $HOME/gnoland-data/genesis.json https://github.com/gnolang/gno/releases/download/chain/onyx/genesis.json
   echo "<sha256>  $HOME/gnoland-data/genesis.json" | sha256sum -c -

   Copy

9. 09Create the service

   sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/gnoland.service > /dev/null << EOF

   LimitNOFILE=65535
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   EOF
   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   sudo systemctl enable gnoland

   Copy

10. 10Start the node

    sudo systemctl restart gnoland && sudo journalctl -fu gnoland -o cat

    Copy

11. 11Check sync

    curl -s localhost:26657/status | jq .result.sync_info

    Copy

12. 12Check the validator key

    gnoland secrets get validator_key --data-dir $HOME/gnoland-data/secrets

    Copy

13. 13Add a new key

    gnokey add $WALLET

    Copy

14. 14Register as a validator candidate

    gnokey maketx call \
