Check Sync Status

Once your node is fully synced, the output from above will print false

wardend status 2>&1 | jq

After Creating a Validator, Make Sure the Fund Has Been Funded Sucessfully

wardend query bank balances $WALLET_ADDRESS

Validator

To create a validator, you should import the data of your validator to the validator.json file

first of all, you have to execute this to see validator-pub-key

wardend comet show-validator

then, you can see the result such a following output below

{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"xxxx"}

sudo tee $HOME/.warden/validator.json > /dev/null <<EOF
{
	"pubkey": {"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"xxxx"},
