💻Create a validator

First, let's look at the public validator keys

story validator export

Export EVM validator key to default data configuration directory

story validator export --export-evm-key

Now we can see our private_key

cat /root/.story/story/config/private_key.txt

Now we need to import our private_key into the EVM wallet and request tokens from the faucet

Everything is ready to create a validator

story validator create --stake 1234000000000000000000 --moniker "<moniker>"  --private-key "<your_private_key>" --chain-id 1516

This command will create a validator that matches the validator key stored in priv_validator_key.json. Note that at least $1024 IP IP (equivalent to 1024000000000000000000 wei) must be staked to participate in the consensus.
