Mars Networks

This repo contains instructions for genesis validators to create genesis staking transactions (gentxs) to start the Mars Hub network.

Instructions

Install Go 1.18+. On Ubuntu this can be done by:

wget -q -O - https://go.dev/dl/go1.19.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz | sudo tar xvzf - -C /usr/local

Configure relevant environment variables:

cat <<EOT >> $HOME/.bashrc
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/.go
export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin:$GOROOT/bin
EOT

Download Mars Hub daemon source code and compile. This will generate a marsd executable under your $GOBIN directory:

git clone https://github.com/mars-protocol/hub.git
cd hub
git checkout v1.0.0
make install

Initialize your node. This will generate your validator signing key at ~/.mars/priv_validator_key.json; make sure to backup this file:

marsd init

Create your validator operator key:

marsd keys add validator

Add your operator key to the genesis state:

marsd genesis add-account validator 1000000umars

Note that the chain id is mars-1 and set the self-bond amount to 1000000umars:

marsd genesis gentx validator 1000000umars \
  --pubkey "$(marsd tendermint show-validator)" \
  --chain-id mars-1 \
  --commission-rate "..." \
  --commission-max-rate "..." \
  --commission-max-change-rate "..." \
  --moniker "..." \
  --identity "..." \
  --details "..." \
  --website "..." \
  --security-contact "..."

The gentx can be found in ~/.mars/config/gentx/gentx-<hash>.json. Add the file to this repository under the mars-1/gentxs folder by making a PR.
