🔗 govgen-1

chain-id version: v1.0.1 genesis-time

Register in the Genesis

To register your validator node in the genesis.json you just need to provide a signed gentx with an initial delegation of 1000000ugovgen.

# Init node
govgend init your-moniker --chain-id govgen-1

# Create keys, be careful with the mnemonic 👀
govgend keys add your-key-name

# Set account necessary balance
govgend add-genesis-account your-key-name 10000000ugovgen

NOTE: if you are submitting a gentx for a new account, (meaning you had to run the command above because the account did not have balance) be aware that you will be granted some funds (including the 1000000ugovgen required as min self-delegation), enough to pay for fees. The amount above is indicative of the actual amount of funds you will be granted, but the final amount might change.

Then create your own genesis transaction (gentx). You will have to choose the following parameters for your validator: commission-rate, commission-max-rate, commission-max-change-rate all set to 0, min-self-delegation (>=1), website (optional), details (optional), identity (keybase key hash, used to get validator logos in block explorers - optional), security-contact (email - optional).

The commission-rate, commission-max-rate, commission-max-change-rate are recommended to be set to 0 since rewards and inflations are both set to 0.

# Create the gentx
govgend gentx your-key-name 1000000ugovgen \
  --node-id $(govgend tendermint show-node-id) \
  --chain-id govgen-1 \
  --commission-rate 0.0 \
  --commission-max-rate 0.0 \
  --commission-max-change-rate 0.0 \
  --min-self-delegation 1 \
  --website "https://foo.network" \
  --details "My validator" \
  --identity "id-from-keybase" \
  --security-contact "security@foo.network"

Hardware recommendation

GovGen is a relatively simple and vanilla Cosmos SDK chain with minor modifications. The recommended minimum hardware requirements should be enough to comfortably be able to run a validator node.

  • 4 Cores
  • 8 GB RAM
  • 512 GB disk space (could increase over time, will need to monitor disk usage)
