Join the Titan mainnet

Install RIZON for mainnet
You need to install RIZON binary to join our network.
$ git clone https://github.com/rizon-world/rizon.git && cd rizon
$ git checkout v0.2.8
$ make install
And check the binary has installed.
$ rizond version
v0.2.8
Please refer Install RIZON Blockchain page for more details about prerequisites or supported OS, and so on.
Setup initial node
After you finish installing the rizond binary, you can setup your initial node.
If you had setup the node, you should better clean existing configurations.
# remove old genesis.json file
$ rm -rf ~/.rizon/config/genesis.json
​
# reset old blockchain data
$ rizond unsafe-reset-all
And init your node.
$ rizond init <moniker> --chain-id titan-1
moniker : the displayed name of your node over RIZON Blockchain network.
chain-id : the chain-id of the network that you want to connect. For mainnet, the chain-id is noticed at https://github.com/rizon-world/mainnet.
The genesis file is stored in ~/.rizon/config/genesis.json. You will update this file next.
Prepare genesis.json
The genesis.json file, which defines the initial states of your blockchain,is acting as the genesis block. The state which defined in the genesis.json contains all the necessary information, such as initial token allocation, genesis time, default parameters, and more.
You have to download the genesis.json file from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rizon-world/mainnet/master/genesis.json and replace ~/.rizon/config/genesis.json to join mainnet.
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rizon-world/mainnet/master/genesis.json
$ cp -f genesis.json ~/.rizon/config/genesis.json
You can check the checksum of genesis.json file.
$ jq -S -c -M '' ~/.rizon/config/genesis.json | shasum -a 256
# You can see the below.

Configure the node
For the configuration of the node to connect Mainnet, we will modify two main configuration files of Rizon platform, app.toml and config.toml.
First edit the ~/.rizon/config/app.toml file to prevent spamming. It rejects incoming transactions with less than the minimum gas prices.
$ sed -i 's/minimum-gas-prices = ""/minimum-gas-prices = "0.0001uatolo"/g' ~/.rizon/config/app.toml
Then you should add at least one or more seed nodes to ~/.rizon/config/config.toml to tell your node how find other peers. So open ~/.rizon/config/config.toml file and edit seeds of [p2p] section.

​
# Comma separated list of seed nodes to connect to
seeds = "YOU_NEED_TO_UPDATE_HERE"
You can get proper list of seed nodes on https://github.com/rizon-world/mainnet .
Optional configurations
By default, the REST API endpoint is disabled. If you want to enable the endpoint, you need to open ~/.rizon/config/app.toml file and edit enable to true of the [api] section. You also can configure laddr by edting address.

​
# Enable defines if the API server should be enabled.
enable = true
​
# Address defines the API server to listen on.
address = "tcp://0.0.0.0:1317"
Connect to the network
As we finished the preparation to join the mainnet. Start node with command below.
$ rizond start
If there is no failure, node will launch and start to sync blockchain states from genesis.

You need to wait until blocks are fully synced. You can check the sync is finished by command below.
$ rizond status 2>&1 | awk -F'catching_up":' '{print $2}' | cut -c -5
If command returns false, sync has finished. Otherwise, you need to wait longer.
Create an account
Before creating validator, you must have an account for your node and the validator.
Keyring
RIZON Blockchain uses Cosmos SDK keyring implementation. The keyring holds the private/public keypairs used to interact with a node. For instance, a validator key needs to be set up before running the blockchain node, so that blocks can be correctly signed. The private key can be stored in different locations, called "backends", such as a file or the operating system's own key storage.
If you want to know more information of keyring, please see https://docs.cosmos.network/v0.42/run-node/keyring.html.
Create new wallet
$ rizond keys add <wallet_name>
This command returns wallet address and mnemonic. You must remember the results.
Recover existing account from mnemonic or private key.
# recover from mnemonic
$ rizond keys add <wallet_name> --recover
​
or
​
# import from private_key
$ rizond keys import <wallet_name> <private_key_file>
Note
The command may requires system password. If you don't want to use any password, you can use --keyring-backend test flag, but we do not recommend this for use in production environments.
Create validator
After the node is fully synced, you can create validator via send create-validator tx to join mainnet.
See the sample command below.
$ rizond tx staking create-validator \
--amount="1000000uatolo" \
--pubkey=$(rizond tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker="your_node_moniker" \
--commission-rate="0.10" \
--commission-max-rate="0.20" \
--commission-max-change-rate="0.01" \
--min-self-delegation="1" \
--from your_key_name \
--chain-id=titan-1 \
--fees="1000uatolo"
​

You can modify your validator information whenever you want. Please refer this help.
