Enable and start service file

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Create a wallet, don’t forget to save the mnemonic.

nibid keys add wallet

To restore exexuting wallet, use the following command (optional)

nibid keys add wallet --recover

Save wallet and validator address

NIBIRU_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(nibid keys show $NIBIRU_WALLET -a)
NIBIRU_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(nibid keys show $NIBIRU_WALLET --bech val -a)
echo "export NIBIRU_WALLET_ADDRESS="${NIBIRU_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export NIBIRU_VALOPER_ADDRESS="${NIBIRU_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

After full synchronization, check the balance, if everything is okay go to the next step.

Get tokens in the discord, #faucet section.

How check Sync status - if false - your node is fully synced

nibid status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo

Check your balance (replace your YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS)

nibid status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo

Check your balance (replace your YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS)

nibid q bank balances YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS
