Validator Operations 👨‍💻​

Create new validator:

# Create a validator.json file with validator details (replace moniker, details, etc. with your data):
echo "{\"pubkey\":{\"@type\":\"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey\",\"key\":\"$(babylond comet show-validator | grep -Po '\"key\":\s*\"\K[^"]*')\"},
    \"amount\": \"1000000ubbn\",
    \"moniker\": \"test\",
    \"identity\": \"\",
    \"website\": \"\",
    \"security\": \"\",
    \"details\": \"I love Babylon ❤️\",
    \"commission-rate\": \"0.1\",
    \"commission-max-rate\": \"0.2\",
    \"commission-max-change-rate\": \"0.01\",
    \"min-self-delegation\": \"1\"
}" > validator.json

# Create a validator using JSON file
babylond tx checkpointing create-validator validator.json --from <WALLET> --chain-id bbn-1 --gas auto --gas-prices 0.002ubbn --gas-adjustment 1.5
