Quick Start
You need to have Go version 1.18 installed and at least an Ubuntu 22 server.
get -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/canha/golang-tools-install-script/master/goinstall.sh | bash -s -- --version 1.18
source ~/.profile
To verify that you have the right Go version, type in
go version
It will return go version go1.18 linux/amd64
The chain source code is not yet open to public but we will have it open-sourced soon. For now we advise validators and node operators to use the compiled version first.
git clone https://github.com/defi-ventures/BCX-atlantis-testnet-2-node-compiled
cd bcx-atlantis-testnet-2-node-compiled
./run-fullnode.sh
Please change the Moniker to your liking. You can also edit the script if you want to change the directories.
To verify that your node is running you can use the command
systemctl status blockxd
This is for you to be able to determine whether it is active or not like the screenshot below

Once you have the blockxd running, from the same repo run the create-validator.sh script
https://github.com/defi-ventures/BCX-atlantis-testnet-2-node-compiled.git
Don't forget to change some values like the moniker, key, amount and the others. Then you can check https://ping2.blockxnet.com to see if you've just become a validator.
