Quicksilver Testnets

All Quicksilver testnets have been and will continue to be named after songs by Freddie Mercury and/or Queen, for no reason more than the guy was a lyrical and musical genius, and there is a somewhat tenuous link between Quicksilver -> Mercury -> Freddie that is ripe for exploitation.

Rhye-2

Existing validators

The second installment of the "Rhye" long-running testnet is here.

Given a number of failed clients on rhye-1, it was decided to relaunch the testnet as rhye-2.

An export of rhye-1 was taken as of 2023-12-21 22:00 UTC, and all validators set to jailed status, as to permit an asynchronous relaunch of the network, during the holiday period.

In order to onboard your existing rhye-1 validator to rhye-2, you must do the following:

1. Stop your existing rhye-1 validator.

2. Build, or download the Quicksilver v1.4.5-rc1 binary from https://github.com/quicksilver-zone/quicksilver; alternatively use the docker container at quicksilverzone/quicksilver:v1.4.5-rc1.

3. Replace your genesis file (usually in ~/.quicksilverd/config/genesis.json) with the genesis.json file found in this repository.

4. Assert the genesis file you downloaded matches the hash provided, using shasum -a256 ~/.quicksilverd/config/genesis.json.

5. Run quicksilverd tendermint unsafe-reset-all.

6. Restart the process

7. Once synced (check https://rpc.test.quicksilver.zone/status), then unjail your validator, using the following command: quicksilver tx slashing unjail --from <key>.

New validators

In order to onboard your new rhye-2, you must do the following:

1. Build, or download the Quicksilver v1.4.5-rc1 binary from https://github.com/quicksilver-zone/quicksilver; alternatively use the docker container at quicksilverzone/quicksilver:v1.4.5-rc1.
2. Run quicksilverd init <moniker>.
3. Download the genesis file in this repository to ~/.quicksilverd/config/genesis.json.
4. Assert the genesis file you downloaded matches the hash provided, using shasum -a256 ~/.quicksilverd/config/genesis.json.
5. Start the process with quicksilverd start. You will probably want to run this as a service.
6. Once synced (check https://rpc.test.quicksilver.zone/status), you will want to create a key, get some funds from the faucet, and create your validator:

Create a key

$ quicksilverd keys add <key>

For example:

$ quicksilverd keys add testkey

- address: quick14xcgnfvmd9xzu5em2gr5d0ykepv4m0y4f4z8lk
  name: testkey
  pubkey: '{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.secp256k1.PubKey","key":"AvE1BMXRvtydR95jRdrGzWOVpmlC1Uf6V5SazxxFTECa"}'
  type: local

Get funds from a faucet

In the #testnet-faucet channel on discord, write /faucet <address> - e.g. /faucet quick14xcgnfvmd9xzu5em2gr5d0ykepv4m0y4f4z8lk using the example above,.

Alternatively, try https://quicksilver-testnet.faucetme.pro/.

Create a validator

$ quicksilverd tx staking create-validator \
--amount=<amount> \
--pubkey=$(quicksilverd tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker="<moniker>" \
--chain-id="rhye-2" \
--commission-rate="<commission>" \
--commission-max-rate="<max-commission>" \
--commission-max-change-rate="<max-commission-rate-change>" \
--min-self-delegation="<min-self-delegation>" \
--fees=<fees> \
--from=<key>
