WARDEN: Start Node Guide

This simple guide will help you get your Warden Protocol project node up and running. After reading this guide you will no longer have a question about how to do it!

Hardware Requirement

CPU: 8 cores
RAM: 32GB
DISK: 300GB

Install

Clone the official repo:

git clone --depth 1 --branch v0.3.0 https://github.com/warden-protocol/wardenprotocol/

Build it:

just build

Initialize wardend:

build/wardend init <custom_moniker>

Configure

Prepare the genesis file:

cd $HOME/.warden/config
rm genesis.json
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/warden-protocol/networks/main/testnets/buenavista/genesis.json

Set the mandatory configuration options:

sed -i 's/minimum-gas-prices = ""/minimum-gas-prices = "0.0025uward"/' app.toml
sed -i 's/persistent_peers = ""/persistent_peers = "[email protected]:26656,[email protected]:26656"/' config.toml

Set up the state sync

From this RPC endpoint, you can get the trusted block height and hash:

export SNAP_RPC_SERVERS="    https://rpc.buenavista.wardenprotocol.org:443,https://rpc.buenavista.wardenprotocol.org:443    "
export LATEST_HEIGHT=$(curl -s "https://rpc.buenavista.wardenprotocol.org/block" | jq -r     .result.block.header.height)
export BLOCK_HEIGHT=$((LATEST_HEIGHT - 2000))
export TRUST_HASH=$(curl -s "https://rpc.buenavista.wardenprotocol.org/block?height=$    BLOCK_HEIGHT" | jq -r .result.block_id.hash)

Check that all variables have been set correctly:

echo $LATEST_HEIGHT $BLOCK_HEIGHT $TRUST_HASH

# output should be similar to:
# 70694 68694 6AF4938885598EA10C0BD493D267EF363B067101B6F81D1210B27EBE0B32FA2A

Add the state sync configuration to your config.toml:

sed -i.bak -E "s|^(enable[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1true| ; \
s|^(rpc_servers[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1\"$SNAP_RPC_SERVERS\"| ; \
s|^(trust_height[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1$BLOCK_HEIGHT| ; \
s|^(trust_hash[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1\"$TRUST_HASH\"|" $HOME/.warden/config/config.toml
