Configuring a Validator Node
Setup a validator node on the Sonar Network in your local environment
1. Initialize a blockchain node
sonrd init localnet
2. Generate account keys
sonrd keys add test-validator
3. Add the account to the genesis file
sonrd add-genesis-account $(sonrd keys show test-validator -a) 1000000000000000000000000000stake,1000000000000000000000000000snr
4. Generate a genesis transaction
sonrd gentx test-validator 1000000000000000000000000000stake --chain-id localnet
5. Collect genesis transactions
sonrd collect-gentxs
6. Validate the genesis file
sonrd validate-genesis
7. Start the blockchain node
sonrd start
