➡️ Let’s get started

sudo systemctl restart wardend
journalctl -fu wardend -o cat

➡️ Create wallet

wardend keys add wallet-name

➡️ Import wallet

wardend keys add wallet-name --recover

➡️ Faucet

Faucet

➡️ Create Validator

wardend tendermint show-validator

nano /root/validator.json

{
        "pubkey": paste-your-pubkey,
        "amount": "1000000000000000000award",
        "moniker": "MictoNodeGuide",
        "identity": "optional identity signature (ex. UPort or Keybase)",
        "website": "validator's (optional) website",
        "security": "validator's (optional) security contact email",
        "details": "validator's (optional) details",
        "commission-rate": "0.1",
        "commission-max-rate": "0.2",
        "commission-max-change-rate": "0.01",
        "min-self-delegation": "1"
}

wardend tx staking create-validator /root/validator.json \
    --from=wallet-name \
    --chain-id=chiado_10010-1 \
    --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.6 --fees 250000000000000award \
    -y

➡️ Delegation

wardend tx staking delegate $(wardend keys show wallet-name --bech val -a) amount000000000000000000award \
--chain-id chiado_10010-1 \
--from "wallet-name" \
--gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.6 --fees 250000000000000award \
-y

➡️ Complete deletion

cd $HOME
sudo systemctl stop wardend
sudo systemctl disable wardend
sudo rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/wardend.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/wardend
sudo rm -f $(which wardend)
sudo rm -rf $HOME/.warden
sed -i "/W_PORT_/d" $HOME/.bash_profile

➡️ Block check

local_height=$(wardend status | jq -r .sync_info.latest_block_height); network_height=$(curl -s https://warden-testnet-rpc.mictonode.com/status | jq -r .result.sync_info.latest_block_height); blocks_left=$((network_height - local_height)); echo "Your node height: $local_height"; echo "MictoNode height: $network_height"; echo "Blocks left: $blocks_left"

• Your node height - the current block of your node
• MictoNode height - the last block of the network
• Blocks left - how many blocks your node has left to sync.
