Generate validator keys using the key generation tool :

./dill_validators_gen new-mnemonic --num_validators=1 --chain=andes --folder=./

Sample output :

ubuntu@ip-xxxx:~/dill$ ./dill_validators_gen new-mnemonic --num_validators=1 --chain=andes --folder=./

***Using the tool on an offline and secure device is highly recommended to keep your mnemonic safe.***

Please choose your language ['1. العربية', '2. ελληνικά', '3. English', '4. Français', '5. Bahasa melayu', '6. Italiano', '7. 日本語', '8. 한국어', '9. Português do Brasil', '10. român', '11. Türkçe', '12. 简体中文']:  [English]: 3
Please choose the language of the mnemonic word list ['1. 简体中文', '2. 繁體中文', '3. čeština', '4. English', '5. Italiano', '6. 한국어', '7. Português', '8. Español']:  [english]: 4
Create a password that secures your validator keystore(s). You will need to re-enter this to decrypt them when you setup your Dill validators.:
Repeat your keystore password for confirmation:
The amount of DILL token to be deposited(2500 by default). [2500]:
This is your mnemonic (seed phrase). Write it down and store it safely. It is the ONLY way to retrieve your deposit.


Creating your keys.
Creating your keystores:	  [####################################]  1/1
Verifying your keystores:	  [####################################]  1/1
Verifying your deposits:	  [####################################]  1/1

Success!
Your keys can be found at: ./validator_keys


Press any key.
ubuntu@ip-xxxx:~/dill$

This will generate the validator keys and save them in "./validator_keys "directory

Sample OutPut :

ubuntu@ip-xxxxx:~/dill$ ls -ltr ./validator_keys
total 8
-r--r----- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 710 Jul 13 08:06 keystore-m_12381_3600_0_0_0-xxxxxx.json
-r--r----- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 706 Jul 13 08:06 deposit_data-xxxx.json
ubuntu@ip-xxxxx:~/dill$

Import your keys to your keystore :

./dill-node accounts import --andes --wallet-dir ./keystore --keys-dir validator_keys/ --accept-terms-of-use

Sample OutPut :

ubuntu@ip-xxxxx:~/dill$ ./dill-node accounts import --andes --wallet-dir ./keystore --keys-dir validator_keys/ --accept-terms-of-use

Save the password to a file change "{my-password}" with your password :

echo {my-password} > walletPw.txt

Start the light validator node :

./start_light.sh -p walletPw.txt

Sample output

ubuntu@xxxxx:~/dill$ ./start_light.sh -p walletPw.txt
Option --pwdfile, argument 'walletPw.txt'
Remaining arguments:
using password file at walletPw.txt
start light node
start light node done
