Minimum Hardware Requirements

• 3x CPUs; the faster clock speed the better
• 4GB RAM
• 80GB Disk
• Permanent Internet connection (traffic will be minimal during testnet; 10Mbps will be plenty - for production at least 100Mbps is expected)

Recommended Hardware Requirements

• 4x CPUs; the faster clock speed the better
• 8GB RAM
• 512GB of storage (SSD or NVME)
• Permanent Internet connection (traffic will be minimal during testnet; 10Mbps will be plenty - for production at least 100Mbps is expected)

Initialize a node to create the necessary configuration files

seid init <name_moniker> --chain-id atlantic-1

Download Genesis

wget -O $HOME/.sei/config/genesis.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sei-protocol/testnet/master/sei-incentivized-testnet/genesis.json"

Download the addrbook

wget -O $HOME/.sei/config/addrbook.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sei-protocol/testnet/master/sei-incentivized-testnet/addrbook.json"

additional setup from the team

wget -qO optimize-configs.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sei-protocol/testnet/main/sei-testnet-2/optimize-configs.sh
sudo chmod +x optimize-configs.sh && ./optimize-configs.sh 
sudo systemctl restart seid && sudo journalctl -u seid -f -o cat

(OPTIONAL) Configure pruning with one command app.toml

pruning="custom" && \ pruning_keep_recent="100" && \ pruning_keep_every="0" && \ pruning_interval="50" && \ sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.sei/config/app.toml && \ sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.sei/config/app.toml && \ sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = \"$pruning_keep_every\"/" $HOME/.sei/config/app.toml && \ sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.sei/config/app.toml

Create a service file

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

[Service] 
User=$USER 
ExecStart=$(which seid)

EOF

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

Waiting for synchronization:

seid status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo

Create or restore a wallet and save the output:

# create a wallet
seid keys add <name_wallet>

# regenerate the wallet (insert seed after the command)
seid keys add <name_wallet> --recover

Creating a validator

seid tx staking create-validator \ 
--chain-id atlantic-1 \ 
--commission-rate 0.05 \ 
--commission-max-rate 0.2 \ 
--commission-max-change-rate 0.1 \ 
--min-self-delegation 1 \ 
--amount 1000000usei \ 
--pubkey $(seid tendermint show-validator) \ 
--moniker "<name_moniker>" \ 
--from <name_wallet> \ --fees 5550usei

Create a validator
Before creating a validator, please make sure you have at least 1 sei (1 sei equals 1000000 usei) and your node is synchronized

To check your wallet balance:

seid query bank balances $SEI_WALLET_ADDRESS

After installation

After completing the installation, please load the variables into the system

source $HOME/.bash_profile

Then you must make sure that your validator synchronizes the blocks. You can use the command below to check the synchronization status

# check blocks 
seid status 2>&1 | jq ."SyncInfo"."latest_block_height"

seid status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo

Save Wallet Information

SEI_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(seid keys show $WALLET -a)
SEI_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(seid keys show $WALLET --bech val -a)
echo 'export SEI_WALLET_ADDRESS='${SEI_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export SEI_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${SEI_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

To top up your wallet, go to the server Sei discord and go to the channel #atlantic-1-faucet

• If your wallet shows no balance, your node is probably still syncing. Please wait until it finishes syncing and then continue
