```

### Sync Node

> Node ağ ile eşleşmiş olması gerekiyor. Bunun için `mantrachaind status 2>&1 | jq` komutunu çalıştırdığınızda `false` çıktısı vermesi gerekir. `True` çıktı alırsanız aşağıdaki adımlara devam etmeyin.

### Run a Validator

```
sided tx staking create-validator \
--amount 1000000uside \
--from wallet \
--commission-rate 0.1 \
--commission-max-rate 0.2 \
--commission-max-change-rate 0.01 \
--min-self-delegation 1 \
--pubkey $(sided tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker "" \
--identity "" \
--website "" \
--details "" \
--chain-id sidechain-testnet-4 \
--gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 1500uside \
-y
