- Reset the local chain config
cd ~/ethermint
./build/blockxd unsafe-reset-all- Start local node and check if its syncing
./build/blockxd start --pruning=nothing --evm.tracer=json "--trace" --log_level "info"-
Acquire test tokens from the team for the address generated from the mnemonic
-
Run create validator command to become a validator in the network after the blockchain syncs completely(change values in commands accordingly). Amount should be of the format - abcx
