# Initia-Testnet

## Install go and all necessary tools:

```
wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.22.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz && \
rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.22.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz && \
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin && \
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin" >> $HOME/.profile && \
rm go1.22.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz && \
source $HOME/.profile && \
go env -w GOBIN='/usr/local/go/bin/' && \
sudo apt install -y build-essential jq
```

Download initia and install:

```
cd "$HOME" && git clone https://github.com/initia-labs/initia && \
cd initia && git checkout v0.2.15 && make install && \
ln -s /usr/local/go/bin/initiad /usr/bin/
```

Add peers:

```
PEERS=$(curl -s --max-time 3 --retry 2 --retry-connrefused "https://rpc-initia-testnet.trusted-point.com/hetzner_peers.txt") | \
if [ -z "$PEERS" ]; then 
    echo "No peers were retrieved from the URL." 
else 
    echo -e "\nPEERS: "$PEERS"" 
    sed -i -e "s|^persistent_peers *=.*|persistent_peers = \"$PEERS\"|" "$HOME/.initia/config/config.toml" 
    echo -e "\nConfiguration file updated successfully.\n" 
fi
```

Add seeds:

```
SEEDS="cae5090c0fde1de1c9890e9139dbdda24233737b@seeds.cros-nest.com:26756,d1d43cc7c7aef715957289fd96a114ecaa7ba756@testnet-seeds.nodex.one:24510" && \
sed -i \
    -e "s/^seeds *=.*/seeds = \"$SEEDS\"/" \
    "$HOME/.initia/config/config.toml"
```

(OPTIONAL) Change ports:

```
CUSTOM_PORT=48 && \
sed -i.bak -e "s%:26658%:${CUSTOM_PORT}658%g;
s%:26657%:${CUSTOM_PORT}657%g;
s%:6060%:${CUSTOM_PORT}060%g;
s%:26656%:${CUSTOM_PORT}656%g;
s%:26660%:${CUSTOM_PORT}660%g" $HOME/.initia/config/config.toml && \
sed -i.bak -e "s%:1317%:${CUSTOM_PORT}317%g;
s%:8080%:${CUSTOM_PORT}080%g;
s%:9090%:${CUSTOM_PORT}090%g;
s%:9091%:${CUSTOM_PORT}091%g;
s%:8545%:${CUSTOM_PORT}545%g;
s%:8546%:${CUSTOM_PORT}546%g;
s%:6065%:${CUSTOM_PORT}065%g" $HOME/.initia/config/config.toml
```

Dissable the indexer:

```
sed -i -e 's|^indexer *=.*|indexer = "null"|' $HOME/.initia/config/config.toml
```

Set Minimum Gas Prices:

```
sed -i -e "s|^minimum-gas-prices *=.*|minimum-gas-prices = \"0.15uinit,0.01uusdc\"|" $HOME/.initia/config/app.toml
```

Update ulimit:

```
ulimit -n 65535 && \
echo -e "*                soft    nofile          65535\n\
*                hard    nofile          65535" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
```

Set IP:\
(If you are running in your own PC this command doesn’t work, you must use your public IP)

```
IP=$(hostname -I | awk '{print $1}') && \
sed -i -e "s|^external_address *=.*|external_address = \"$IP:26656\"|" $HOME/.initia/config/config.toml
```

ONLY If you set a custom port in the step 7 use:

```
IP=$(hostname -I | awk '{print $1}') | CUSTOM_PORT=48 && \
sed -i -e "s%^external_address *=.*%external_address = \"${IP}:${CUSTOM_PORT}656\"%" $HOME/.initia/config/config.toml
```

Update pruning

```
sed -i   -e 's|^pruning *=.*|pruning = "custom"|' \
  -e 's|^pruning-keep-recent *=.*|pruning-keep-recent = "100"|' \
  -e 's|^pruning-keep-every *=.*|pruning-keep-every = "0"|' \
  -e 's|^pruning-interval *=.*|pruning-interval = "10"|' \
  $HOME/.initia/config/app.toml
```

Change \<moniker> by your node’s name

```
initiad init <moniker> --chain-id initiation-1
```

Use initiad at service:

```
tee /etc/systemd/system/initiad.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=initiad
[Service]
Type=simple
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which initiad) start
Restart=on-abort
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=initiad
LimitNOFILE=65535
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target 
EOF
```

Download a Snapshot:

```
sudo apt update && \
sudo apt install snapd -y && \
sudo snap install lz4 && \
cp ~/.initia/data/priv_validator_state.json  ~/.initia/priv_validator_state.json && \
initiad tendermint unsafe-reset-all --keep-addr-book --home $HOME/.initia && \
curl -o - -L https://snapshot-initia.dongqn.com/testnet-snapshots/initia/initia_308650.tar.lz4 | lz4 -c -d - | tar -x -C $HOME/.initia && \
mv ~/.initia/priv_validator_state.json  ~/.initia/data/priv_validator_state.json && \
wget https://initia.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/initiation-1/genesis.json -O $HOME/.initia/config/genesis.json
```

Launch:

```
sudo systemctl daemon-reload && \
sudo systemctl enable initiad && \
sudo systemctl start initiad && \
sudo journalctl -u initiad -f -o cat
```

## Validator <a href="#id-5b82" id="id-5b82"></a>

**Create your validator when your node is synced**

Check node height:

```
local_height=$(initiad status | jq -r .sync_info.latest_block_height); network_height=$(curl -s https://rpc-initia-testnet.trusted-point.com/status | jq -r .result.sync_info.latest_block_height); blocks_left=$((network_height - local_height)); echo "Your node height: $local_height"; echo "Network height: $network_height"; echo "Blocks left: $blocks_left"
```

Add new key:

```
initiad keys add wallet
```

Show your wallet address:

```
initiad keys show wallet -a
```

Request tokens in the faucet:\
<https://faucet.testnet.initia.xyz/>

Check balance:

```
initiad query bank balances $(initiad keys show wallet -a)
```

## Create validator:

```
initiad tx mstaking create-validator \
--amount 1000000uinit \
--pubkey $(initiad tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker "YOUR_MONIKER_NAME" \
--identity "YOUR_KEYBASE_ID" \
--details "YOUR_DETAILS" \
--website "YOUR_WEBSITE_URL" \
--chain-id initiation-1 \
--commission-rate 0.05 \
--commission-max-rate 0.20 \
--commission-max-change-rate 0.05 \
--from wallet \
--gas-adjustment 1.4 \
--gas auto \
--gas-prices 0.15uinit \
-y
```

**Congrats! your validator is done!**

* Update validator info:

```
initiad tx mstaking edit-validator \
--moniker "YOUR_MONIKER_NAME" \
--identity "YOUR_KEYBASE_ID" \
--details "YOUR_DETAILS" \
--website "YOUR_WEBSITE_URL" \
--chain-id initiation-1 \
--commission-rate 0.05 \
--from wallet \
--gas-adjustment 1.4 \
--gas auto \
--gas-prices 0.15uinit \
-y
```

* Delegate yourself:

```
initiad tx mstaking delegate $(initiad keys show wallet --bech val -a) 1000000uinit --from wallet --chain-id initiation-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto --gas-prices 0.15uinit -y
```

* Unjail your validator:

```
initiad tx slashing unjail --from wallet --chain-id initiation-1 --gas-adjustment 1.4 --gas auto --gas-prices 0.15uinit -y
```

## **Oracle** <a href="#a5a0" id="a5a0"></a>

1. Download and install:

```
cd "$HOME" && git clone https://github.com/skip-mev/slinky.git && cd slinky && \
git checkout v0.4.3 && make build && \
ln -s "$HOME/slinky/build/slinky" "/usr/bin/"
```

2\. Update app.toml:

```
sed -i '0,/^enabled *=/{//!b};:a;n;/^enabled *=/!ba;s|^enabled *=.*|enabled = "true"|' $HOME/.initia/config/app.toml && \
sed -i -e 's|^oracle_address *=.*|oracle_address = "127.0.0.1:8080"|' $HOME/.initia/config/app.toml && \
sed -i -e 's|^client_timeout *=.*|client_timeout = "300ms"|' $HOME/.initia/config/app.toml
```

3\. Use Oracle at service:

```
tee /etc/systemd/system/oracle.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=oracle

[Service]
Type=simple
User=$USER
ExecStart=/usr/bin/slinky --oracle-config-path "$HOME/slinky/config/core/oracle.json" --market-map-endpoint 0.0.0.0:9090
Restart=on-abort
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=oracle
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
```

4\. Launch oracle and restart node:

```
sudo systemctl daemon-reload && \
sudo systemctl enable oracle && \
sudo systemctl start oracle && \
sudo systemctl restart initiad && \
sudo journalctl -u oracle -f -o cat
```
