sudo apt-get install make build-essential gcc git jq chrony -y
  • Install Go

# download the latest version
wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.22.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz

# remove old version (if any)
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go

# install the new version
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.22.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
  • Configure Environmental Variables

# run these commands
cat <<EOF >> ~/.profile
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export GO111MODULE=on
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin
EOF

source ~/.profile

go version

The output should be go version go1.22.0 linux/amd64

  • Install Chihuahua from sources

# run these commands
git clone https://github.com/ChihuahuaChain/chihuahua.git
cd chihuahua
git fetch --tags
git checkout v8.0.2
make install

To verify the installation you can run chihuahuad version and it should return v8.0.2

  • Initialize the Chain

Replace $MONIKERNAME with your choosen node name

chihuahuad init $MONIKER_NAME --chain-id chihuahua-1

  • Download the Genesis

wget -O ~/.chihuahuad/config/genesis.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChihuahuaChain/chihuahua/main/mainnet/genesis.json
  • Add Seeds & Persistent Peers

seeds="77cbb35d1df17f48a42e9f157f12f55b691e9f5e@seeds.goldenratiostaking.net:1620,4936e377b4d4f17048f8961838a5035a4d21240c@chihuahua-seed-01.mercury-nodes.net:29540"

sed -i.bak -e "s/^seeds *=.*/seeds = \"$seeds\"/; s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$peers\"/" ~/.chihuahuad/config/config.toml
  • Update minimum-gas-price in app.toml

sed -i.bak 's/minimum-gas-prices =.*/minimum-gas-prices = "100uhuahua"/' $HOME/.chihuahuad/config/app.toml
  • Setting up Cosmovisor

Install cosmovisor

go install github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/cosmovisor/cmd/cosmovisor@latest

which cosmovisor

# should return 
'/home/<your-user>/go/bin/cosmovisor'

# run these commands
cat <<EOF >> ~/.profile
export DAEMON_NAME=chihuahuad
export DAEMON_HOME=$HOME/.chihuahuad
EOF

source ~/.profile

echo $DAEMON_NAME

# should return
'chihuahuad'

# create the directories
mkdir -p $DAEMON_HOME/cosmovisor/genesis/bin
mkdir -p $DAEMON_HOME/cosmovisor/upgrades

# check the binary path with
which chihuahuad

# this should return
'/home/your-user/go/bin/chihuahuad'

# copy the binary into
cp $(which chihuahuad) $DAEMON_HOME/cosmovisor/genesis/bin

Set up the service file

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/chihuahuad.service

# paste and edit <your-user> with your username
[Unit]
Description=Chihuahua Daemon (cosmovisor)
After=network-online.target

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Enable the service

sudo -S systemctl daemon-reload
sudo -S systemctl enable chihuahuad

Get the latest snapshot (Thanks to Polkachu) and follow the Pruning tips to save some GB

  • Start the node

You can start the node by running

sudo systemctl start chihuahuad

# check the logs by running
journalctl -u chihuahuad -f

The node will take some time to catch-up with the blockchain. You can follow the blocks being indexed by rnning

journalctl -u chihuahuad -f | grep indexed

Join the Validators (mainnet)

ChihuahuaChain Governance voted a proposal enabling the minimum 5% Commission enforced by the blockchain.

# create a new wallet for the validator

chihuahuad keys add <key-name>

# save the seed phrase (mnemonic) in a safe place
# copy the 'chihuahua...' address and send some HUAHUA
# in order to pay for the validator creation's transaction

# Make sure the Validator has fully synced before running 
chihuahuad tx staking create-validator \
  --from "<key-name>" \
  --amount "1000000uhuahua" \
  --pubkey "$(chihuahuad tendermint show-validator)" \
  --chain-id "chihuahua-1" \
  --moniker "<moniker>" \
  --commission-max-change-rate 0.01 \
  --commission-max-rate 0.20 \
  --commission-rate 0.10 \
  --min-self-delegation 1 \
  --details "<details>" \
  --security-contact "<contact>" \
  --website "<website>" \
  --gas-prices "1uhuahua"
  
# Make sure to backup the priv_validator_key.json file in your
# /home/<your-user>/.chihuahuad/config directory
# and store it in a safe place

Congratulation! Your Validator node should be up and running

Make sure to join our Discord and contact a moderator if you have a mainnet node so we can invite you to the validator's channel to follow up the latest updates and future upgrades.
