Create validator

View your validator key

story validator export

Export EVM private key

story validator export --export-evm-key

View EVM private key and make a key backup

cat $HOME/.story/story/config/private_key.txt

Faucet link: https://odyssey.faucet.story.foundation/

Storyscan: https://odyssey-testnet-explorer.storyscan.xyz/

Before creating a validator, wait for your node to get fully synced. Once "catching_up" is "false", move on to the next step

curl localhost:$(sed -n '/\[rpc\]/,/laddr/ { /laddr/ {s/.*://; s/".*//; p} }' $HOME/.story/story/config/config.toml)/status | jq

Create validator

story validator create --stake 1024000000000000000000 --moniker "your-node-name" --private-key "your_private_key"

Validator staking

story validator stake \
   --validator-pubkey "VALIDATOR_PUB_KEY_IN_BASE64" \
   --stake 1000000000000000000 \
   --private-key xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Remember to backup your validator priv_key from here:

cat $HOME/.story/story/config/priv_validator_key.json

Delete node

sudo systemctl stop story story-geth
sudo systemctl disable story story-geth
rm -rf $HOME/.story
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/story.service /etc/systemd/system/story-geth.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
