How to run a Gravity testnet full node

A Gravity chain full node is just like any other Cosmos chain. Unlike the validator flow no external software is required.

What do I need

A Linux server with any modern Linux distribution, 2gb of ram and at least 20gb storage.q

Download Gravity chain software

wget https://github.com/Gravity-Bridge/Gravity-Bridge/releases/download/v1.0.7/gravity-linux-amd64
mv gravity-linux-amd64 gravity

chmod +x gravity
sudo mv gravity /usr/bin/

Init the config files

cd $HOME
gravity init mymoniker --chain-id gravity-bridge-1

Copy the genesis file

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gravity-Bridge/gravity-docs/main/genesis.json
cp genesis.json $HOME/.gravity/config/genesis.json

Add seed node

Change the seed field in ~/.gravity/config/config.toml to contain the following:

seeds = "[email protected]:26656"

Start your full node and wait for it to sync

gravity start
