fi

➡️ Let’s get started

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable story story-geth
sudo systemctl start story-geth && sleep 5 && sudo systemctl start story

journalctl -u story -u story-geth -f

➡️ Create Validator

View your validator key

story validator export

Export EVM private key

story validator export --export-evm-key

View EVM private key and make a key backup

cat $HOME/.story/story/config/private_key.txt

Once “catching_up” is “false”, move on to the next step

curl localhost:$(sed -n '/\[rpc\]/,/laddr/ { /laddr/ {s/.*://; s/".*//; p} }' $HOME/.story/story/config/config.toml)/status | jq

story-geth --exec "eth.syncing" attach ~/.story/geth/aeneid/geth.ipc

Create validator

for locked

story validator create \
  --stake 1024000000000000000000 \
  --moniker "$STORY_MONIKER" \
  --chain-id 1315 \
  --unlocked=false \
  --rpc "https://aeneid.storyrpc.io" \
  --private-key $(grep "PRIVATE_KEY" $HOME/.story/story/config/private_key.txt | awk -F= '{print $2}')

for unlocked

story validator create \
  --stake 1024000000000000000000 \
  --moniker "$STORY_MONIKER" \
  --chain-id 1315 \
  --unlocked=true \
  --rpc "https://aeneid.storyrpc.io" \
  --private-key $(grep "PRIVATE_KEY" $HOME/.story/story/config/private_key.txt | awk -F= '{print $2}')

➡️ Delegate to yourself

info

you can add this flag if you want; --staking-period ${STAKING_PERIOD}

Flexible period (default)
- No lock period
- 1.0x reward multiplier
Short period (90 days)
- 1.1x reward multiplier

--staking-period "short"

Medium period (360 days)
- 1.5x reward multiplier

--staking-period "medium"

Long period (540 days)
- 2.0x reward multiplier

--staking-period "long"

Warning

Change amount

story validator stake --chain-id 1315 --validator-pubkey $(story validator export | grep "Compressed Public Key (hex)" | awk '{print $NF}') --stake amount000000000000000000 --rpc "https://aeneid.storyrpc.io" --private-key $(cat $HOME/.story/story/config/private_key.txt | grep "PRIVATE_KEY" | awk -F'=' '{print $2}')
