Manuel Installation

1. Set Environment Variables

# Set your wallet name  
WALLET="your_wallet_name"  
  
# Set your moniker (node name)  
MONIKER="your_moniker"  
  
# Set custom port (default is 26)  
PORT="17"  # Example port  
  
# Set BLS password  
BLS_PASSWORD="your_bls_password"  
  
# Save variables to bash profile  
echo "export WALLET=\"$WALLET\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile  
echo "export MONIKER=\"$MONIKER\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile  
echo "export BABYLON_CHAIN_ID=\"bbn-1\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile  
echo "export BABYLON_PORT=\"$PORT\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile  
echo "export BABYLON_BLS_PASSWORD=\"$BLS_PASSWORD\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile  
source $HOME/.bash_profile  
  
# Create BLS password file  
echo "$BLS_PASSWORD" > $HOME/bls_password.txt  

2. Install Go

cd $HOME

rm "go$VER.linux-amd64.tar.gz"  
[ ! -f ~/.bash_profile ] && touch ~/.bash_profile  
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:~/go/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile  
source $HOME/.bash_profile  
[ ! -d ~/go/bin ] && mkdir -p ~/go/bin

wget -O $HOME/.babylond/config/addrbook.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CoinHuntersTR/props/refs/heads/main/babylon/addrbook.json  

7. Configure Node

# Set seeds and peers  
SEEDS="[e-mail]:55706,[e-mail]:20656"  
PEERS="f0d280c08608400cac0ccc3d64d67c63fabc8bcc@91.134.70.52:55706,4c1406cb6867232b7ea130ed3a3d25996ca06844@23.88.6.237:20656,b40a147910a608018c47a0e0225106d00d2651ed@5.9.99.42:20656,184db83783c9158a3e99809ffed3752e180597be@65.108.205.121:20656,1f06b55dfbae181fa40ec08fe145b3caef6d3c83@5.9.81.54:2080,7d728de314f9746e499034bfcfc5a9023c672df5@84.32.32.149:18800"

8. Create Service File

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/babylond.service > /dev/null <<EOF  
[Unit]  
Description=babylond.service  
After=network-online.target  
  
[Service]  
User=$USER  
WorkingDirectory=$HOME/.babylond  
Environment="BABYLON_BLS_PASSWORD=$BLS_PASSWORD"  
ExecStart=$(which babylond) start --home $HOME/.babylond  
Restart=on-failure  
RestartSec=5  
LimitNOFILE=65535  
  
[Install]  
WantedBy=multi-user.target  
EOF  

9. Reset Node and Download Snapshot

# Remove any existing BLS key to avoid decryption issues  
if [ -f $HOME/.babylond/config/bls_key.json ]; then  
  rm $HOME/.babylond/config/bls_key.json  
fi  
  
# Reset node  
babylond tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.babylond  
  
# Download and extract snapshot  
curl https://snapshots.coinhunterstr.com/mainnet/babylon/snapshot_latest.tar.lz4 | lz4 -dc - | tar -xf - -C $HOME/.babylond  

10. Start the Node

# Reload systemd, enable and start service  
sudo systemctl daemon-reload  
sudo systemctl enable babylond  
sudo systemctl start babylond  
  
# Check logs  
sudo journalctl -u babylond -fo cat  

Remember to replace placeholder values like "your_wallet_name", "your_moniker", and "your_bls_password" with your actual information.

Auto Installation

bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CoinHuntersTR/props/refs/heads/main/AutoInstall/babylon.sh)

Monitor Your Node

# Check node status  
babylond status | jq  
  
# Check sync status  
babylond status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo  

Create Validator

cd $HOME

babylond tendermint show-validator

for example: {"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"0LuMdRNJpWGiH+b+................"}

cat << EOF > ~/validator.json
{   
    "pubkey":{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"wHOuViZC5L6fhOrYzFDAx9ySC2GOW61im6u/mP/Urh0="},
    "amount": "1000000ubbn",
    "moniker": "",
    "identity": "",
    "website": "",
    "security": "",
    "details": "",
    "commission-rate": "0.1",
    "commission-max-rate": "0.2",
    "commission-max-change-rate": "0.01",
    "min-self-delegation": "1"
}
EOF

terminale yapıştırdıktan sonra, CTRL X Y enter ile çıkıyoruz.

Şimdi tekrardan node restart atalım

sudo systemctl restart babylond && sudo journalctl -u babylond -fo cat  

Şimdi aşağıdaki komutu çalıştırıyoruz. wallet yerine kendi cüzdan isminizi yazmayı unutmayın. Terminale cüzdan kurmak için Useful Commands bölümüne bakabilirsiniz.

babylond tx checkpointing create-validator ~/validator.json --from wallet --chain-id bbn-1 --gas="auto" --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas-prices="0.005ubbn"
