Upgrade to a validator

Do not attempt to upgrade your node to a validator until the node is fully in sync as per the previous step.

To upgrade the node to a validator, you will need to submit a create-validator transaction:

mintstationd tx staking create-validator \
  --amount 1000000umint \
  --commission-max-change-rate "0.1" \
  --commission-max-rate "0.20" \
  --commission-rate "0.1" \
  --min-self-delegation "1" \
  --details "validators write bios too" \
  --pubkey=$(mintstationd tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker "$MONIKER_NAME" \
  --chain-id $CHAIN_ID \
  --gas-prices 0.025umint \
  --from <key-name>

The above transaction is just an example. There are many more flags that can be set to customise your validator, such as your validator website, or keybase.io id, etc. To see a full list:

mintstationd tx staking create-validator --help

Unjail

mintstationd tx slashing unjail --from <key-name> --chain-id mintstation-1 --fees 100umint

To track your validator's signing history, copy the validator public key:

mintstationd tendermint show-validator

Use your validators public key queried above as the validator-pubkey below:

mintstationd query slashing signing-info <validator-pubkey>

Example:

mintstationd query slashing signing-info '{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"HlixoxNZBPq4pBOYEimtSq9Ak4peBISVsIbI5ZHrEAU="}'
