Node installation

Setup validator name

git clone https://github.com/ingenuity-build/quicksilver && cd quicksilver
wget https://github.com/quicksilver-zone/quicksilver/releases/download/v1.6.3/quicksilverd-v1.6.3-amd64
chmod +x quicksilverd-v1.6.3-amd64
mv quicksilverd-v1.6.3-amd64 /root/go/bin/quicksilverd

quicksilverd version --long | grep -e version -e commit -e build_tags
#version: v1.6.3
#commit: 965a6c898be7d5d7a8e19b9c4e1984f3ce58f722

We initialize the node to create the necessary configuration files

quicksilverd init UTSA_guide --chain-id quicksilver-2

Download Genesis

wget -O $HOME/.quicksilverd/config/genesis.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ingenuity-build/mainnet/main/genesis.json"

# Проверим генезис
jq . ~/.quicksilverd/config/genesis.json -S -c | shasum -a256
# cab2352d12f9e388bc633d909a26eaea8fc52904990405cd20d72077415a51d2

At this stage, we can download the address book

wget -O $HOME/.quicksilverd/config/addrbook.json "https://share.utsa.tech/quicksilver/addrbook.json"

Set up node configuration

quicksilverd config chain-id quicksilver-2 
quicksilverd config keyring-backend os
sed -i.bak -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.0025uqck\"/;" ~/.quicksilverd/config/app.toml
external_address=$(wget -qO- eth0.me)
sed -i.bak -e "s/^external_address *=.*/external_address = \"$external_address:26656\"/" $HOME/.quicksilverd/config/config.toml
seeds="[e-mail]:11156,[e-mail]:11156,[e-mail]:26650"
sed -i.bak -e "s/^seeds =.*/seeds = \"$seeds\"/" $HOME/.quicksilverd/config/config.toml

(OPTIONAL) Set up pruning

pruning="custom"
pruning_keep_recent="1000"
pruning_keep_every="0"
pruning_interval="10"
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.quicksilverd/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.quicksilverd/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = \"$pruning_keep_every\"/" $HOME/.quicksilverd/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.quicksilverd/config/app.toml

(OPTIONAL) Set up indexer

indexer="null" && \
sed -i -e "s/^indexer *=.*/indexer = \"$indexer\"/" $HOME/.quicksilverd/config/config.toml

(OPTIONAL) Enable/Disable Snapshots

snapshot_interval=1000
sed -i.bak -e "s/^snapshot-interval *=.*/snapshot-interval = \"$snapshot_interval\"/" ~/.quicksilverd/config/app.toml

Create a service file

tee /etc/systemd/system/quicksilverd.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=quicksilver
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which quicksilverd) start

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable quicksilverd
systemctl restart quicksilverd && sudo journalctl -u quicksilverd -f -o cat

If peers do not cling for a long time or you see errors error: wrong Block.Header.AppHash, you need to use State sync or boot from a Snapshot
