Create emped service for your node to run in the background
```
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/emped.service > /dev/null <&1 | jq .SyncInfo
```
## Create wallet
```
emped keys add $WALLET_NAME
# DO NOT FORGET TO SAVE THE SEED PHRASE & YOUR PASSPHRASE YOU SET FOR THIS WALLET
# You can add --recover flag to restore existing key instead of creating
```
## **Create validator**
```
emped tx staking create-validator \
--amount=79000000uempe \
--moniker="" \
--identity="" \
--details="" \
--website="" \
--pubkey=$(emped tendermint show-validator) \
--chain-id=empe-testnet-2 \
--commission-rate="0.10" \
--commission-max-rate="0.20" \
--commission-max-change-rate="0.01" \
--min-self-delegation="1000000" \
--from=wallet \
--fees=20000uempe \
-y
```
Check Balances:
```
emped q bank balances $(emped keys show wallet -a)
```
View Validator details:
```
emped q staking validator $(emped keys show "wallet" --bech val -a)
```
Unjail:
```
emped tx slashing unjail --from wallet --chain-id empe-testnet-2 --gas=auto --fees=20000uempe -y
```
Send token to another wallet:
```
emped tx bank send wallet 1000000uempe --from wallet --chain-id empe-testnet-2 --fees=20000uempe -y
```
Delegate tokens to yourself:
```
emped tx staking delegate $(emped keys show wallet --bech val -a) 10000000uempe --from wallet --chain-id empe-testnet-2 --fees=20000uempe -y
```
