Quicksilver (validator setup guide and network monitoring system)
Quicksilver is the Interchain Liquid Staking zone for Cosmos, an ecosystem of sovereign and interoperable zones (blockchains), interconnected via the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC). Quicksilver protocol enables users to delegate any IBC-compatible Asset to the validators of their choosing and receive a liquid staked voucher, or qAsset, allowing them to retain capital liquidity and freedom to pursue Defi opportunities while securing the native chains.

Backup priv_validator_state.json
cp $HOME/.quicksilverd/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/priv_validator_state.json
Remove old data in directory ~/.quicksilverd/data
rm -rf ~/.quicksilverd/data; \ mkdir -p ~/.quicksilverd/data; \ cd ~/.quicksilverd/data
wget http://snapshots.stakeup.tech/quicksilver/quicksilver-2_latest.tar tar -xf quicksilver-2_latest.tar -C $HOME/.quicksilverd/data/
Return your priv_validator_state.json
mv $HOME/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.quicksilverd/data/priv_validator_state.json

After full synchronization, you can request tokens and create your own validator.
Create a validator
quicksilverd tx staking create-validator \ --amount=1000000uqck \ --pubkey=$(quicksilverd tendermint show-validator) \ --moniker=$QUICK_MONIKER \ --chain-id=quicksilver-2 \ --commission-rate="0.10" \ --commission-max-rate="0.20" \ --commission-max-change-rate="0.1" \ --min-self-delegation="1" \ --fees 200uqck \ --from=$QUICK_WALLET \ --identity="" \ --website="" \ --details="" \ -y
Network monitoring system (optional)
