Fast Node Snapshot

Snapshot is updated every 6hours.

Latest Snapshot available is at height

sudo systemctl stop initiad.service
cp $HOME/.initia/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.initia/priv_validator_state.json.backup
initiad tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.initia --keep-addr-book
sudo apt-get install wget liblz4-tool aria2 -y
aria2c -x5 -s4 https://files3.blacknodes.net/initiatestnet/initiation-1_.tar.lz4
lz4 -c -d initiation-1_.tar.lz4  | tar -x -C $HOME/.initia/data
mv $HOME/.initia/priv_validator_state.json.backup $HOME/.initia/data/priv_validator_state.json
sudo systemctl restart initiad && sudo journalctl -u initiad -f -o cat

No Need To Backup and Move the priv_validator_state.json if you are not a validator yet

AddrBook File

The Addrbook is updated everyday. If you are not getting peers you can Stop your node, download and replace your addrbook.json with the steps below, and restart your node.

wget -O addrbook.json https://files2.blacknodes.net/initiatestnet/addrbook.json --inet4-only
  mv addrbook.json $HOME/.initia/config/

Genesis File

This is copy of our genesis file

wget -O genesis.json https://files2.blacknodes.net/initiatestnet/genesis.json --inet4-only
  mv genesis.json $HOME/.initia/config/

Node Monitoring Guide

Install Monitoring Tools(Prometheus and Grafana using this script)

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blacknodes/Scripts/main/install-monitoring-tools.sh
sudo chmod +x install-monitoring-tools.sh
./install-monitoring-tools.sh

Add Job "Initia-Node" in prometheus file

sed -i '/scrape_configs:/a \
  - job_name: "Initia-Node"\
    static_configs:\
      - targets: ["localhost:26660"]' /opt/prometheus/prometheus.yml

Set prometheus to true in config.toml file And Restart the node and prometheus

sed -i '/prometheus =/s/false/true/' /root/.initiad/config/config.toml
sudo systemctl restart initiad.service
sudo systemctl restart prometheus.service

Make Sure to enable port 3000

sudo ufw allow 3000

Go To http://yourip:3000

Add New DataSource Prometheus

Set Alert

Use this metric for alert(You can also use other metrics too, we recommend this one if you are a validator)

increase(cometbft_consensus_validator_last_signed_height[5m])

Set Threshold (is below 15) and change type from range to instant

Add Notification Channel (Here we will use telegram )

Use https://t.me/BotFather to create your notification bot and https://t.me/userinfobot to check your Telegram ID.

Add new Contact point, paste your bot api token and telegram id there

Now you'll receive an alert in your telegram bot whenever your node will stop or get out of the active set!

StateSync

Use this StateSync method to synchronize your node within 10minutes

SNAP_RPC=https://initia-testnet-rpc.blacknodes.net:443 && \
LATEST_HEIGHT=$(curl -s $SNAP_RPC/block | jq -r .result.block.header.height); \
BLOCK_HEIGHT=$((LATEST_HEIGHT - 2000)); \
TRUST_HASH=$(curl -s "$SNAP_RPC/block?height=$BLOCK_HEIGHT" | jq -r .result.block_id.hash) && \
echo $LATEST_HEIGHT $BLOCK_HEIGHT $TRUST_HASH

peers="d9cef48445358d3d230c95aef3754c0e1005d7c1@initia-testnet.blacknodes.net:31656"
sed -i.bak -e  "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$peers\"/" ~/.initiad/config/config.toml

Initia Validator Tutorial

1) Add Wallet

initiad keys add $WALLET

2) Use Faucet To Get Balance for Creating validator

Initia Testnet Faucet

3) Create a validator

initiad tx mstaking create-validator \
  --amount=1000000uinit \
  --pubkey=$(initiad tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker=$MONIKER \
  --chain-id=$CHAIN_ID \
  --commission-rate=0.05 \
  --commission-max-rate=0.10 \
  --commission-max-change-rate=0.01 \
  --from=$WALLET \
  --identity="" \
  --website="" \
  --details="BlackNodes Tutorial" \

Initia One Click Tutorial

1) Run Initia Node

Note:- This Script includes snapshot and its updated Every 6 hours with latest snapshot

wget https://files2.blacknodes.net/initiatestnet/initia_node.sh
chmod +x initia_node.sh
./initia_node.sh

If you get an Error you can restart the script anytime, it will continue from where you left by running `./initia_node.sh`

2)Run Initia Validator

wget https://files2.blacknodes.net/initiatestnet/initia_validator.sh
chmod +x initia_validator.sh
./initia_validator.sh

If you get an Error you can restart the script anytime by `./initia_validator.sh`.
NOTE:- If you already had registered a validator and want to migrate to new server then you need to import priv_validator_key.json in the $HOME/.initia/config/ directory

Delete Initia Node

To make sure you dont run this step by an accident we didnt add `./delete_initia_node.sh` below.

wget https://files2.blacknodes.net/initiatestnet/delete_initia_node.sh
chmod +x delete_initia_node.sh

If for any reason you want to start completely from start you can run this script, it will delete everything related to Initia
