This website is your one-stop shop for setting up a testnet node! Running a node during testnets allows you to contribute to projects and participate in incentivized campaigns. Before proceeding, please make sure that incentives are officially announced, as not all testnet phases are incentivized.
We've prepared comprehensive guides that walk you through every step of the installation process. Whether you're a seasoned blockchain user or just getting started, our detailed instructions will have you up and running in no time.
Installation for almost all Cosmos chain nodes follows a similar process, which can be summarized as:
- Updating your operating system
- Installing required software packages
- Setting up environment variables for the node
- Downloading and installing the node software
- Initializing and configuring your node
- Setting custom ports and pruning options (optional)
- Creating a service file for automatic startup (optional)
- Verification of installation and further steps
