Become a testnet validator

:::tip Note
You will earn 300 Desmos Tokens upon completion of this challenge.

Please note that in order to prevent scams, you will receive the reward just after your validator has successfully proposed a block.
:::

The time has come. We are now inviting validators to join our first public testnet named morpheus-1001.

If you feel ready to take the challenge and help us making the Desmos chain safer and more distributed, read below to know how to do it.

Procedure to become a validator

The procedure to become a validator is composed of two parts:

  1. Firstly, you are required to setup a full node of your server machine. To do so, please follow the "Setting up a node" guide on the Desmos documentation website.

  2. Once you have properly set up a full node, you can upgrade its functionality making it a validator node. To read how to do this, please refer to the "Run a validator on Desmos" guide on the Desmos documentation website.

:::tip Testnet version and data
Please note that Phase 2 validators must rely on the morpheus-1001 testnet. Such testnet's genesis.json file and seeds information can be found inside the root directory of the testnet repo.
