Instructions for Validators

Validators testnet accounts have been reserved in pregenesis.json

Upgrade Go Version

Update Go to Version 1.22.3:

wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.22.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.22.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

Verify Go Version:

go version
# Output should be: go version go1.22.3 linux/amd64

Update WasmVM Library

Download the new libwasmvm.x86_64.so:

wget https://github.com/CosmWasm/wasmvm/releases/download/v1.5.2/libwasmvm.x86_64.so

Move the library to the appropriate directory:

sudo mv libwasmvm.x86_64.so /usr/lib/
# OR
sudo mv libwasmvm.x86_64.so /usr/local/lib/

Replace or add the new binary

First clone the mainnet-rehearsal repository

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/soar-robotics/mainnet-rehearsal.git 

Move the binary for system usage

cd mainnet-rehearsal/binary
tar -xvf soarchaind.tar.gz
sudo mv soarchaind /usr/local/go/bin

Initialize the Node

Initialize the node:

soarchaind init <nodeName> --chain-id soarchaintestnet --default-denom utsoar

Configure the Testnet Validator Account:

soarchaind config set client chain-id soarchaintestnet
soarchaind config set client keyring-backend test
soarchaind keys add <keyName> --keyring-backend test --algo secp256k1 --recover

Replace the Genesis File:

Replace the binary with pregenesis.json. Your genesis.json is in the .soarchain/config directory. The file name should remain genesis.json.

Create Gentx:

soarchaind genesis gentx <keyName> 1000000utsoar --keyring-backend test --chain-id soarchaintestnet

After completing these steps, validators can start sending their gentx files.

Repository Structure After Making It Public

Ensure your repository has the following structure after making it public:

mainnet-rehearsal/
├── gentx/
│   ├── gentx-example1.json
│   ├── gentx-example2.json
│   └── ... (additional gentx files)
├── README.md
└── ... (other files and directories)

Additional Information

By following these steps, validators will be able to easily submit their gentx files via pull requests, and you will have a streamlined process for managing these submissions.

For more information on the WasmVM upgrade, refer to the WasmVM v1.5.2 release.

We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring a smooth mainnet launch process. Please refactor and verify all files as needed.

Make sure to replace <nodeName> and <keyName> with the actual names you intend to use.
