Nibiru Testnet

introduction

Nibiru is a sovereign proof-of-stake blockchain, open-source platform, and member of a family of interconnected blockchains that comprise the Cosmos Ecosystem.

Nibiru unifies leveraged derivatives trading, spot trading, staking, and bonded liquidity provision into a seamless user experience, enabling users of over 40 blockchains to trade with leverage using a suite of composable decentralized applications.

The scope is large, financing $7.5 million. There is nothing to discuss, let's go!

1. Installing and running a node

Update packages and install dependencies

sudo apt update 
sudo apt upgrade --yes
sudo apt-get install jq

Compile binary file

curl -s https://get.nibiru.fi/! | bash

Check version

nibid version

Init chain (<moniker-name> = your name)

nibid init <moniker-name> --chain-id=nibiru-testnet-1 --home $HOME/.nibid

Create key-pair (<key-name> = youy keyname)

nibid keys add <key-name>

Next, be sure to save the mnemonic,
as well as the address (we will need it for the faucet)

NIBIRU_ADDR=<your_address>
echo "export NIBIRU_ADDR="${NIBIRU_ADDR}"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Download genesis

NETWORK=nibiru-testnet-1
curl -s https://networks.testnet.nibiru.fi/$NETWORK/genesis > genesis.json
cp genesis.json $HOME/.nibid/config/genesis.json

Download seed list

NETWORK=nibiru-testnet-1 
sed -i 's|seeds =.*|seeds = "'$(curl -s https://networks.testnet.nibiru.fi/$NETWORK/seeds)'"|g' $HOME/.nibid/config/config.toml

Set up the minimum price for gas

sed -i 's/minimum-gas-prices =.*/minimum-gas-prices = "0.025unibi"/g' $HOME/.nibid/config/app.toml

Update block parameters

CONFIG_TOML="$HOME/.nibid/config/config.toml" 
sed -i 's/timeout_propose =.*/timeout_propose = "100ms"/g' $CONFIG_TOML 
sed -i 's/timeout_propose_delta =.*/timeout_propose_delta = "500ms"/g' $CONFIG_TOML 
sed -i 's/timeout_prevote =.*/timeout_prevote = "100ms"/g' $CONFIG_TOML 
sed -i 's/timeout_prevote_delta =.*/timeout_prevote_delta = "500ms"/g' $CONFIG_TOML 
sed -i 's/timeout_precommit =.*/timeout_precommit = "100ms"/g' $CONFIG_TOML 
sed -i 's/timeout_precommit_delta =.*/timeout_precommit_delta = "500ms"/g' $CONFIG_TOML 
sed -i 's/timeout_commit =.*/timeout_commit = "1s"/g' $CONFIG_TOML 
sed -i 's/skip_timeout_commit =.*/skip_timeout_commit = false/g' $CONFIG_TOML

Update synchronization parameters

NETWORK=nibiru-testnet-1
sed -i 's|enable =.*|enable = true|g' $HOME/.nibid/config/config.toml
sed -i 's|rpc_servers =.*|rpc_servers = "'$(curl -s https://networks.testnet.nibiru.fi/$NETWORK/rpc_servers)'"|g' $HOME/.nibid/config/config.toml
sed -i 's|trust_height =.*|trust_height = "'$(curl -s https://networks.testnet.nibiru.fi/$NETWORK/trust_height)'"|g' $HOME/.nibid/config/config.toml
sed -i 's|trust_hash =.*|trust_hash = "'$(curl -s https://networks.testnet.nibiru.fi/$NETWORK/trust_hash)'"|g' $HOME/.nibid/config/config.toml

Create and start the node service

To install a node, the official documentation recommends using Cosmovisor, but we used systemd

printf "[Unit]
Description=Nibiru node
After=network-online.target
[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=`which nibid` start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target" > /etc/systemd/system/nibirud.service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload 
sudo systemctl enable nibirud
sudo systemctl restart nibirud

Check logs

journalctl -u nibirud -f -n 100

2. Faucet request (2 ways)

1. Request tokens from the faucet:

FAUCET_URL="https://faucet.testnet-1.nibiru.fi/"
curl -X POST -d '{"address": "'"$NIBIRU_ADDR"'", "coins": ["10000000unibi","100000000000unusd"]}' $FAUCET_URL

Console output

2. Join Discord server of the project -> faucet brabch, next we have to send the command:

$request <your_address>, whet <your_address> - your address

Better to use second or both ways.
Discord is an important component for issuing rewards!

3. Running a validator node

!!! Before doing this, you need to make sure that the node is synchronized with the following command (the flag must be set to "false"):

nibid status | jq .SyncInfo.catching_up

Set up nibiru-testnet-1 chain

nibid config chain-id nibiru-testnet-1

We send a transaction to create a validator, be sure to change
next values: details, moniker, from

nibid tx staking create-validator \
--amount 10000000unibi \
--commission-max-change-rate "0.1" \
--commission-max-rate "0.30" \
--commission-rate "0.1" \
--min-self-delegation "1" \
--details "Octopus Space" \
--pubkey=$(nibid tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker octopus_space \
--chain-id nibiru-testnet-1 \
--gas-prices 0.025unibi \
--from octopus_space

from - name of the key you created in 1st point

Be sure to save the contents of the priv_validator_key.json
and node_key.json files in a safe place.
The path to the folder with the files can be displayed with the following command:

echo $HOME/.nibid/config

4. Additionally

Unjailing a validator (change <key_name> with your value):

nibid tx slashing unjail \
  --from=<key_name> \
  --chain-id=nibiru-testnet-1

You can check if the validator has been created in the explorer
by entering your address.

Get the address with this command:

echo $(nibid tendermint show-address)

Check if a validator is in the active set:

nibid query tendermint-validator-set | grep "$(nibid tendermint show-address)"
