Evmos Incentivized Testnet Gentx

A gentx does three things:

• Registers the validator account you created as a validator operator account (i.e. the account that controls the validator).
• Self-delegates the provided amount of staking tokens.
• Links the operator account with a Tendermint node pubkey that will be used for signing blocks. If no --pubkey flag is provided, it defaults to the local node pubkey created via the evmosd init command.

Software:

• Go version: v1.17+
• Evmos version: v0.2.x

genesis params (changed from default)

"max_validators": 300
"send_enabled": false
"receive_enabled": false
"signed_blocks_window": "10000"
"min_signed_per_window": "0.050000000000000000"
"unbonding_time": "86400s"
"voting_period": "86400s"

• You have to keep up at least 5% in the last 10000block for avoid downtime slashing.
• You have to wait 3days to unbond your token.

1. Install evmosd

   git clone https://github.com/tharsis/evmos
   cd evmos && git checkout -b XXX tags/XXXXX
   make install

   Make sure to checkout to XXXXX tag.

2. Initialize the evmosd directories and create the local file with the correct chain-id

   evmosd init <moniker> --chain-id=evmos_9000-2

3. Create a local key pair in the keybase

   evmosd keys add <your key name>

   Make sure to keep mnemonic seed which will be used to receive rewards at the time of mainnet launch.

4. Add the account to your local genesis file with a given amount and key you just created.

   evmosd add-genesis-account $(evmosd keys show <your key name> -a) 1000000000000aphoton

   Make sure to use aphoton denom, not photon.

5. Create the gentx

   evmosd gentx <your key name> 1000000000000aphoton --commission-rate=0.1 --commission-max-rate=1 --commission-max-change-rate=0.1 --pubkey $(evmosd tendermint show-validator) --chain-id=evmos_9000-2

6. Create Pull Request to this repository (evmos/gentxs) with the file <your validator moniker>.json.
