**Setup config**

```bash
# correct config (so we can no longer use the chain-id flag for every CLI command in client.toml)
cascadiad config chain-id $CASCADIA_CHAIN_ID

# adjust if necessary keyring-backend в client.toml 
cascadiad config keyring-backend test

**(OPTIONAL) Turn off indexing in config.toml**

```

```bash
# Check the logs again
journalctl -u cascadiad -f -o cat

# Escape from logs ctrl+c

**Now all ok, check the status**

```bash
# Check status
curl localhost:${CASCADIA_PORT}657/status

# "catching_up": false means that the node is synchronized, we are waiting for complete synchronization
```

**Wallet**

```bash
# Create wallet
cascadiad keys add wallet
```

The wallet has been created. In the last line there will be a phrase that must be written down

```bash
# If the wallet was already there, restore it
cascadiad keys add wallet --recover
# Insert the seed phrase from your wallet
# If everything is correct, you will see your wallet data
```

Go to the [#faucet](https://discord.com/channels/932501599035732008/1093030023012814948) branch and request tokens

```bash
# Save the wallet address
CASCADIA_ADDRESS=$(cascadiad keys show wallet -a)
CASCADIA_VALOPER=$(cascadiad keys show wallet --bech val -a)
echo "export CASCADIA_ADDRESS="${CASCADIA_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export CASCADIA_VALOPER="${CASCADIA_VALOPER} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
```

```bash
# Check the ballance
cascadiad query bank balances $CASCADIA_ADDRESS
```

**Validator**

Do not forget to create a profile on <https://keybase.io/> and set a profile photo there that will be imported by key and used for your validators.

```bash
# Change <identity> to your key from keybase
cascadiad tx staking create-validator \
--amount 1000000000000000000aCC \
--from=wallet \
--commission-rate "0.05" \
--commission-max-rate "0.20" \
--commission-max-change-rate "0.1" \
--min-self-delegation "1" \
--pubkey=$(cascadiad tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker=$MONIKER \
--chain-id=$CASCADIA_CHAIN_ID \
--identity=<identity> \
--details="" \
--website="" \
--gas 300000 \
--gas-adjustment=1.2 \
--gas-prices=7aCC \
--broadcast-mode sync \
-y
```

Check yourself in the list [explorer](https://testnet.cascadia.explorers.guru/)

Or by command

```bash
cascadiad query staking validators --limit 1000000 -o json | jq '.validators[] | select(.description.moniker=="$CASCADIA_MONIKER")' | jq
```

```bash
# Edit the validator
cascadiad tx staking edit-validator \
  --new-moniker=$CASCADIA_MONIKER \
  --website="" \
  --identity=<identity> \
  --details="" \
  --chain-id=$CASCADIA_CHAIN_ID \
  --gas 300000 \
  --gas-adjustment=1.4 \
  --gas-prices=7aCC \
  --from=wallet
```

!!! Save priv\_validator\_key.json which is located in /root/.cascadiad/config
