Choose a test network

You can specify the network you want to join by setting the genesis file and seed nodes.

Testnet Chain ID	Description	Site	Version	Status
treasurenet_5005-1	Treasurenet 1st test network	--	v0.1.x	Live

info

Development is in progress. Whitelisting new Testnet Validator nodes soon. Stay tuned for Testnet events.

Installing treasurenetd

Follow the installation instructions to complete the installation of the Treasurenetd binary file.

Saving the chainID

We recommend saving the testnet chain ID to your treasurenetd's client.toml. This will save you from having to manually pass the chain ID flag for each CLI command.

treasurenetd config chain-id treasurenet_5005-1

Initialize Node

We need to initialize the node to create all the necessary validators and node profiles:

treasurenetd init <your_custom_moniker> --chain-id treasurenet_5005-1

caution

The name object can only contain ASCII characters. Using Unicode characters will make your node inaccessible

By default, the init command creates your ~/.treasurenetd (i.e. $HOME) directory, which contains the subfolders config/ and data/. In the config directory, the most important configuration files are app.toml and config.toml.

Genesis & Seeds

Copy Genesis File

Check the genesis.json file, file in the archive and copy it to the configuration directory:~/.treasurenetd/config/genesis.json. This is the genesis file that contains the chain ID and the balance of the genesis account.

sudo apt install -y unzip wget
wget -P ~/.treasurenetd/config https://github.com/treasurenetprotocol/docs/blob/feature/1.0.3/genesis.json

Then verify the correctness of the genesis configuration file at:

treasurenetd validate-genesis

Add Seed Nodes

Your nodes need to know how to find peers。 You need to add healthy seed nodes to $HOME/.treasurenetd/config/config.toml。The testnets repository contains links to some seed nodes.

Edit the file and seed located in ~/.treasurenetd/config/config.toml to the following:

#######################################################
###           P2P Configuration Options             ###
#######################################################
[p2p]

# ...

# Comma separated list of seed nodes to connect to
seeds = "<node-id>@<ip>:<p2p port>"

You can get the seeds from the repo and add them to your configuration using the following code:

SEEDS=`curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xxx/testnets/main/treasurenet_5005-1/seeds.txt | awk '{print $1}' | paste -s -d, -`
sed -i.bak -e "s/^seeds =.*/seeds = \"$SEEDS\"/" ~/.treasurenetd/config/config.toml

Add Persistent Peers

We can set the persistent_peers field in $HOME/.treasurenetd/config/config.toml to specify the peers with which your node will maintain persistent_peers. You can retrieve them from the list of available peers on testnets repo.

A list of available persistent peers is also provided in the #find-peers channel of Treasurenet Discord. You can get 10 random entries from the peers.txt file in the PEERS variable by running the following command:

info

Treasurenet Discord comming soon.

PEERS=`curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xxx/testnets/main/treasurenet_5005-1/peers.txt | sort -R | head -n 10 | awk '{print $1}' | paste -s -d, -`

Use sed to include them in the configuration. You can also add them manually at:

sed -i.bak -e "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$PEERS\"/" ~/.treasurenetd/config/config.toml

Run a Testnet Validator

treasurenetd tx staking create-validator \
  --amount=1000000000000aunit \
  --pubkey=$(treasurenetd tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker="TNWhale" \
  --chain-id=<chain_id> \
  --commission-rate="0.10" \
  --commission-max-rate="0.20" \
  --commission-max-change-rate="0.01" \
  --min-self-delegation="1000000" \
  --gas="auto" \
  --gas-prices="0.025aunit" \
  --from=<key_name>

Start testnet

The final step is to start the node. Once enough votes from Genesis validators (+2/3) are up and running, the test network will start producing blocks.

treasurenetd start

Reset Data

First, delete the obsolete files and reset the data.

rm $HOME/.treasurenetd/config/addrbook.json $HOME/.treasurenetd/config/genesis.json
treasurenetd tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.treasurenetd

Your node is now in its original state, while retaining the original priv_validator.json and config.toml. If you set up any sentinel nodes or full nodes before, your node will still try to connect to them.

Restart

treasurenetd start
