Docker Login :

docker login -u pellnetwork

Pull the latest Pell Node image :

docker pull docker.io/pellnetwork/pellnode-devnet:v0.1.0

Starting Pell P2P Node :

Change <your_node_name> with your moniker name :

docker run -d --name=pell-validator \
    -v <your_local_path>:/root/.pellcored \
    -e MONIKER="<your_node_name>" \
    -p 26656:26656 \
    -p 26660:26660 \
    --entrypoint /root/start-pellcored.sh \
    docker.io/pellnetwork/pellnode-devnet:v0.1.0

Get $PELL Test Token :

Enter the Docker container environment to retrieve your node's address. This is necessary to request test tokens for staking. Run the following command to access the running container:

docker exec -it pell-validator /bin/bash

Create and retrieve your node’s address with the following command:

# create your key
pellcored keys add <your_node_name> 
# retrieve your key
pellcored keys show <your_node_name>

Contact the Pell team with your address to receive $PELL test tokens for staking. 🔥

Once you have received the tokens, you can verify the balance of your account using this command:

pellcored query bank balances <your_pell_address> --node http://rpc-test.pell.dev:26657

Change <your_pell_address> with your Pell Adress.

Create Your Validator :

Create a new validator by staking apell tokens. Here is an example of creating a validator on PellChain Devnet. Save the transaction hash from the output.

pellcored tx staking create-validator \
--amount=1000000000000000000apell \
--pubkey=$(pellcored tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker="<your_node_name>" \
--chain-id=athens_186-1 \
--commission-rate="0.10" \
--commission-max-rate="0.20" \
--commission-max-change-rate="0.01" \
--min-self-delegation="1000000" \
--gas="auto" \
--fees=2500000000000001apell \
--from=<your_node_name>

• amount is the amount of tokens to be bonded

• moniker is the validator's name

• commission-rate is the commission rate on block rewards and fees charged to delegators

• commission-max-rate is the maximum commission rate that this validator can charge. This parameter is fixed and cannot be changed after the validator is created

• commission-max-change-rate is the maximum daily increase of the validator commission. This parameter is fixed cannot be changed after the validator is created

• min-self-delegation is the minimum amount of apell the validator requires to have bonded at all time. If the validator's self-delegated stake falls below this limit, the validator gets jailed and kicked out of the active validator set

• gas-prices is gas prices in decimal format to determine the transaction fee

• When specifying commission parameters, the commission-max-change-rate is used to measure % point change over the commission-rate. E.g. 1% to 2% is a 100% rate increase, but only 1 percentage point

• min-self-delegation is a strictly positive integer that represents the minimum amount of self-delegated voting power your validator must always have

To confirm your validator is created, run this command which shows the current status of your validator.

pellcored query staking validator $(pellcored keys show <your_node_name> --bech val -a)
