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
