Upgrading to ICS v0.2.1

The binary used to start the provider (ICS v0.2.0) has been deprecated. You can either build a new binary or download the one in this folder.

• Stand-alone gaiad
  • Stop the service running gaiad
  • Replace the gaiad binary in the ~/go/bin/ folder
  • Start the service running gaiad
• Cosmovisor
  • Stop the service running Cosmovisor
  • Replace the gaiad binary in the ~/.gaia/cosmovisor/current/bin/ folder
  • Start the service running Cosmovisor

After upgrading you should see the version below:

gaiad version
glnro/ics-sdk45-f729517a4a231a02172df6763c2ffed0524a2804

Join via Ansible Playbook

• You must have SSH access to the node machine.
• The binary will be set up for the provider user.
• The binary will run through cosmovisor in the cv-provider.service service.

On your local machine:

• Copy the node_key.json and priv_validator_key.json files from your provider chain validator node.
• Clone the cosmos-ansible repo.
• Run the playbook from the Join the Provider Chain section:

  ansible-playbook node.yml -i game-of-chains-2022/provider/provider-join.yml -e 'target=<host address> node_key_file=<JSON file path> priv_validator_key_file=<JSON file path>"'

Join via Bash Script

On the node machine:

• Copy the node_key.json and priv_validator_key.json files for your validator.
• Run one of the following scripts:
  • Gaia service: provider-join.sh
  • Cosmovisor service: provider-join-cv.sh

Getting Tokens

Testnet coordinators will distribute provider chain tokens to eligible participants.

Creating a Validator

Once you have some tokens in your self-delegation account, you can submit the create-validator transaction.

1. Obtain the validator public key

gaiad tendermint show-validator

2. Sumbit the create-validator transaction.

gaiad tx staking create-validator \
--amount 1000000uprov \
--pubkey '<public key from the previous command>' \
--moniker <your moniker> \
--chain-id provider \
--commission-rate 0.10 \
--commission-max-rate 1.00 \
--commission-max-change-rate 0.1 \
--min-self-delegation 1000000 \
--gas auto \
--from <self-delegation-account>

You can verify the validator was created in the block explorer, or in the command line:

gaiad q staking validators -o json | jq '.validators[].description.moniker'
