INT Chain 4.0 Documents

# Mainnet

TIP

Requirements: install intchain

# Full Node

# start the node (you can also use "nohup" or "systemd" to run in the background)
intchain

TIP

It will take a long time to sync block data.

# Validator Node

# Create a Wallet

You can create a new wallet or import an existing one, then get some INT from the exchanges or anywhere else into the wallet you just created .e.g.

# create a new wallet
intchain account new

Or for test network

intchain --testnet account new

WARNING

Important

Backup the keystore in a safe place and remember your password!
The default storage path of your keystore is "~/.intchain/intchain/keystore", and testnet storage is "~/.intchain/testnet/keystore".

# Create BLS keys

If you want become a validator, you need create a BLS keys which is a json file named priv_validator.json under datadir first, and then restart intchain.

intchain create-validator <address>

Or for test network

intchain --testnet create-validator <address>

# Confirm your node has caught-up

intchain attach <datadir>/<chainid>/intchain.ipc
>int.blockNumber

# Become a Candidate

INT Chain is a blockchain system based on IPBFT consensus mechanism, which requires regular replacement of validators to ensure system security.

Epoch is the update cycle of the validator, which is about 2 hours.

You can register (int_register under json rpc) to become a candidate.

WARNING

Important

Backup the priv_validator.json directory located in your datadir carefully! It is the only way to recover your validator.

If there are no errors, then your node will become a validator (depending on whether your delegation amount is in the top 25 validators) or candidate in the next epoch.

# Titans Mainnet

You can use the public RPC develop and test your apps.
