Launching the Kyve node in the main network!!

minimum recommended hardware configuration :

4 cores (modern CPU's)
8Gb of
RAM200Gb of disk space
10Mbps permanent internet connection

updating the server:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

install the necessary utilities:

sudo apt install curl build-essential git wget jq make gcc tmux chrony -y

specify the name of your validator, which will be visible in the explorer:

NODENAME=<NAME_VALIDATOR>

saving and importing variables :

echo "export NODENAME=$NODENAME" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
if [ ! $WALLET ]; then
	echo "export WALLET=wallet" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
fi
echo "export KYVE_CHAIN_ID=kyve-1" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

installing GO:

ver="1.19.1" && \
wget "https://golang.org/dl/go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz" && \
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go && \
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz" && \
rm "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz" && \
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin" >> $HOME/.bash_profile && \
source $HOME/.bash_profile && \
go version

clone and assemble the binary file:

wget https://github.com/KYVENetwork/chain/releases/download/v1.4.0/kyved_mainnet_linux_amd64.tar.gz
tar -xvzf kyved_mainnet_linux_amd64.tar.gz
sudo chmod +x kyved && sudo mv ./kyved /usr/local/bin/kyved
sudo rm -rf kyved_mainnet_linux_amd64.tar.gz

initializing the application:

kyved init $NODENAME --chain-id $KYVE_CHAIN_ID

download the genesis file:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KYVENetwork/networks/main/kyve-1/genesis.json > ~/.kyve/config/genesis.json

adding peers:

sed -i.bak -e "s/^seeds *=.*/seeds = \"$SEEDS\"/; s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$PEERS\"/" $HOME/.kyve/config/config.toml

setting up pruning:

pruning="custom"
pruning_keep_recent="100"
pruning_keep_every="0"
pruning_interval="10"
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.kyve/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.kyve/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = \"$pruning_keep_every\"/" $HOME/.kyve/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.kyve/config/app.toml

we set the minimum gas price:

sed -i 's/minimum-gas-prices = "0ukyve"/minimum-gas-prices = "0.0001ukyve"/g' $HOME/.kyve/config/app.toml

if necessary, disable indexing (indexer = "null"):

cd ~

nano $HOME/.kyve/config/config.toml

ctrl O, enter, ctrrl X

resetting the chain data:

kyved tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.kyve

creating a service file:

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/kyved.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=kyve
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/kyved start 
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

launching the service file:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable kyved
sudo systemctl restart kyved && sudo journalctl -u kyved -f -o cat

after the synchronization is complete, load the variables into the system:

source $HOME/.bash_profile

creating or restoring a wallet:

kyved keys add $WALLET

kyved keys add $WALLET --recover

we save the information, enter the commands in turn, enter your password in 1 and 2:

KYVE_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(kyved keys show $WALLET -a)

KYVE_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(kyved keys show $WALLET --bech val -a)

echo 'export KYVE_WALLET_ADDRESS='${KYVE_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export KYVE_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${KYVE_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

creating a validator:

kyved tx staking create-validator \
  --amount 10000000ukyve \
  --from $WALLET \
  --commission-max-change-rate "0.01" \
  --commission-max-rate "0.2" \
  --commission-rate "0.05" \
  --min-self-delegation "1" \
  --pubkey  $(kyved tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker $NODENAME \
  --identity=__ \
  --website="__" \
  --details="__" \
  --chain-id $KYVE_CHAIN_ID \
  --fees=1100000ukyve \
  --gas=auto -y

delete node:

sudo systemctl stop kyved
sudo systemctl disable kyved
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/kyve* -rf
sudo rm $(which kyved) -rf
sudo rm $HOME/.kyve* -rf
sudo rm $HOME/kyve -rf
sed -i '/KYVE_/d' ~/.bash_profile
