### Docker Permission to User

```

```

### Contact the Pell Network Team And Collect The Accsess  :fire:&#x20;

### Docker Login :&#x20;

```
docker login -u pellnetwork
```

### Pull the latest Pell Node image :&#x20;

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

### Starting Pell P2P Node :&#x20;

Change \<your\_node\_name> with your moniker name :&#x20;

```
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  :&#x20;

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. :fire:

#### 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.&#x20;

### Create Your Validator :&#x20;

#### 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)
```
