Step-by-Step Guide

1. Update and Install Dependencies: Run the following commands to ensure your system is updated and all dependencies are installed.

   sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
   sudo apt install build-essential git curl jq -y

2. Install Go: Download and install the latest version of Go.

   wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.19.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
   sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.19.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
   echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile
   source ~/.bash_profile

3. Clone Cysic Repository and Build the Binary: Fetch the Cysic chain code and build the necessary binaries.

   git clone https://github.com/Cysic-project/cysic-chain.git
   cd cysic-chain
   make install

4. Initialize the Node: Initialize your node with your chosen moniker and the correct chain ID.

   cysicd init "<your-moniker>" --chain-id cysic-mainnet

5. Download the Genesis File: Download and place the correct genesis file for your node.

   wget -O ~/.cysicd/config/genesis.json https://github.com/Cysic-project/mainnet/raw/master/genesis.json

6. Configure Node: Edit the config.toml to set persistent peers and RPC details. You can adjust ports as needed to avoid conflicts with other services.

   nano ~/.cysicd/config/config.toml

7. Create a Validator Key: If you don’t have a wallet yet, create one. This wallet will be used to register as a validator.

   cysicd keys add <wallet-name>

8. Start the Node: Once all configurations are set, start the node service.

   cysicd start

9. Stake and Become a Validator: After your node is synced, use your wallet to delegate funds and create a validator transaction.

   cysicd tx staking create-validator \
       --amount 1000000cysic \
       --pubkey $(cysicd tendermint show-validator) \
       --moniker <your-moniker> \
       --chain-id cysic-mainnet
