📸Joining Testnet Using Snapshot

You may join the testnet using a snapshot that we update every two weeks.

SEDA provides a snapshot at https://testnet-snapshots.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/seda_testnet_snapshot.tar.lz4.

sedad join <moniker> --network testnet

# Backup private validator state file if you'd like.
cp $HOME/.sedad/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.sedad/priv_validator_state.json.backup

# Download snapshot and decompress it under chain directory.
wget https://testnet-snapshots.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/seda_testnet_snapshot.tar.lz4

lz4 -dc < seda_testnet_snapshot.tar.lz4 | tar xvf - -C $HOME/.sedad

You may have to disable SEDA signer to start the node. If you are a validator, please read SEDA Keys to set up SEDA signer after you finish the current instructions.

sedad config set app seda.enable-seda-signer false

Start the node.

sedad start
