| Next, download the correct genesis file and sync your node with the Kava mainnet. To download the genesis file: | ||||
| ```bash | ||||
| # First, initialize kvd. Replace <name> with the public name of your node | ||||
| kvd init --chain-id kava-8 <name> | ||||
| # First, initialize kava. Replace <name> with the public name of your node | ||||

| ### Syncing Your Node | ||||
| To sync your node, you will use systemd, which manages the Kava daemon and automatically restarts it in case of failure. To use systemd, you will create a service file. Be sure to replace `<your_user>` with the user on your server: | ||||
| ```bash | ||||
| sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/kvd.service > /dev/null <<'EOF' | ||||
| sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/kavad.service > /dev/null <<'EOF' | ||||

| The main thing to watch is that the block height is increasing. Once you are caught up with the chain, `catching_up` will become false. At that point, you can start using your node to create a validator. If you need to sync using a snapshot, please use https://kava.quicksync.io/ | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| To check the logs of the node: | ||||
| ```bash | ||||
| sudo journalctl -u kvd -f | ||||
| sudo journalctl -u kavad -f | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ## Creating a Validator | ||||
| First, create a wallet, which will give you a private key / public key pair for your node. | ||||
| ```bash | ||||
| # Replace <your-key-name> with a name for your key that you will remember | ||||
| kvcli keys add <your-key-name> | ||||
| kava keys add <your-key-name> | ||||
| # To see a list of wallets on your node | ||||
| kvcli keys list | ||||
| kava keys list | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| **Be sure to write down the mnemonic for your wallet and store it securely. Losing your mnemonic could result in the irrecoverable loss of KAVA tokens.** | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| To see the options when creating a validator: | ||||
| ```bash | ||||
| kvcli tx staking create-validator -h | ||||
| kava tx staking create-validator -h | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| An example of creating a validator with 50KAVA self-delegation and 10% commission: | ||||
| ```bash | ||||
| # Replace <key_name> with the key you created previously | ||||
| kvcli tx staking create-validator \ | ||||
| kava tx staking create-validator \ | ||||
| --amount=50000000ukava \ | ||||
| --pubkey=$(kvd tendermint show-validator) \ | ||||
| --pubkey=$(kava tendermint show-validator) \ | ||||
| --moniker="choose moniker" \ | ||||
| --website="optional website for your validator" | ||||
| --details="optional details for your validator" | ||||
| --website="optional website for your validator" \ | ||||
| --details="optional details for your validator" \ | ||||
| --commission-rate="0.10" \ | ||||
| --commission-max-rate="0.20" \ | ||||
| --commission-max-change-rate="0.01" \ | ||||
| --min-self-delegation="1" \ | ||||
| --from=<key_name> \ | ||||
| --chain-id=kava-8 \ | ||||
| --gas=auto | ||||
| --from=<your-key-name> \ | ||||
| --chain-id=kava-9 \ | ||||
| --gas=auto \ | ||||
| --gas-adjustment=1.4 | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| To check on the status of your validator: | ||||
| ```bash | ||||
| kvcli status --output json | jq '.validator_info' | ||||
| kava status --log_format json | jq '.ValidatorInfo' | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| After you have completed this guide, your validator should be up and ready to receive delegations. Note that only the top 100 validators by weighted stake (self-delegations + other delegations) are eligible for block rewards. To view the current validator list, checkout one of the Kava block explorers: | ||||
