**Explorer NodeSync:**
**RPC:**
**API:**
Faucet on your node, change your\_address:
## **1. Minimum hardware requirement**
4 Cores, 16G Ram, 160G SSD, Ubuntu 22.04
## 2. Auto Install
```
if ! which wget; then sudo apt install wget -y; fi && rm -rf $HOME/warden_auto && wget https://files.nodesync.top/Warden/warden_auto && chmod +x warden_auto && ./warden_auto
```
### 2.1 Wallet
Add New Wallet Key - **Save seed**
```
wardend keys add wallet
```
Recover existing key
```
wardend keys add wallet --recover
```
List All Keys
```
wardend keys list
```
### 2.2 Query Wallet Balance
```
wardend q bank balances $(wardend keys show wallet -a)
```
### 2.3 Check sync status
**False is synced**
```
wardend status 2>&1 | jq .sync_info
```
### 2.4 Create Validator
**Obtain your validator public key by running the following command:**
```
wardend tendermint show-validator
```
**The output will be similar to this (with a different key):**
{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"lR1d7YBVK5jYijOfWVKRFoWCsS4dg3kagT7LB9GnG8I="}
**Then, create a file named** `validator.json` **with the following content:**
```
nano $HOME/validator.json
```
Change your info, from "pubkey" to "details" and Save them
```
{
"pubkey": {"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"lR1d7YBVK5jYijOfWVKRFoWCsS4dg3kagT7LB9GnG8I="},
"amount": "5000000000000000000award",
"moniker": "your-node-moniker",
"identity": "eqlab testnet validator",
"website": "optional website for your validator",
"security": "optional security contact for your validator",
"details": "optional details for your validator",
"commission-rate": "0.1",
"commission-max-rate": "0.2",
"commission-max-change-rate": "0.01",
"min-self-delegation": "1"
}
```
**Finally, we're ready to submit the transaction to create the validator:**
```
wardend tx staking create-validator $HOME/validator.json \
--from=wallet \
--fees=250000000000000award \
--chain-id=chiado_10010-1 \
--node=https://rpc.chiado.wardenprotocol.org \
--gas=auto \
--gas-adjustment=1.6 -y
```
### 2.5 Delegate Token to your own validator
```
wardend tx staking delegate $(wardend keys show wallet --bech val -a) 5000000000000000000award \
--from=wallet \
--fees=250000000000000award \
--chain-id=chiado_10010-1 \
--node=https://rpc.chiado.wardenprotocol.org \
--gas=auto \
--gas-adjustment=1.6 -y
```
### 2.6 Withdraw rewards and commission from your validator
```
wardend tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(wardend keys show wallet --bech val -a) \
--from=wallet \
--fees=250000000000000award \
--chain-id=chiado_10010-1 \
--node=https://rpc.chiado.wardenprotocol.org \
--gas=auto \
--gas-adjustment=1.6 -y
```
### 2.7 Unjail validator
```
wardend tx slashing unjail \
--from=wallet \
--fees=250000000000000award \
--chain-id=chiado_10010-1 \
--node=https://rpc.chiado.wardenprotocol.org \
--gas=auto \
--gas-adjustment=1.6 -y
```
