name: Ion
server_name: iond
version: v1.0.0

external_address=$(curl -s ifconfig.me):26656
sed -i.bak -e "s/^external_address = \"\"/external_address = \"$external_address\"/" $HOME/.ion/config/config.toml

• Next make your way to the nodes config directory, remove the genesis.json and replace it with the one provided in this repo

cd ~/.ion/config/

rm genesis.json
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IDEP-network/Antora/main/genesis.json

• To get your Public Address

• Create a Validator

Before you can create your Validator, your node has to be synced up to the latest block of the chain. You can check this by:

iond status

If catching_up is false you are good to execute:

iond tx staking create-validator \
    --amount 10000000000idep \
    --commission-max-change-rate 0.01 \
    --commission-max-rate 0.2 \
    --commission-rate 0.1 \
    --from <YourWalletAddress> \
    --min-self-delegation 1 \
    --moniker <YourMoniker> \
    --pubkey $(iond tendermint show-validator) \
    --chain-id Antora

Start your node

Now that everything is setup and ready to go, you can start your node.

iond start
