Celestia Application / Core

Validator Node setup

If you get an error such as

Error: <keyname>: key not found,

this means your key, the field referenced by the --from option, does not exist.

Note: By default, the script for creating a key is utilizing test backend. Please, use the flag --keyring-backend if you opt for a different key-type.

You can fix this by adding your key manually to the keyring via:

celestia-appd keys add --recover <keyname>
# or 
celestia-appd keys add --recover <keyname> --keyring-backend <other_format>

followed by a prompt to enter a bip39 mnemonic, which is the mnemonic that was created as part of 1_create_key.sh script in the first step.

You'll also be asked for a passphrase which is an input you have to define.

If you get an error such as

No Trusted Peer provided. Headers won't be synced accordingly

this means you need to:

• check that the trusted peer is initialized in the TrustedPeer field in config.toml
• be sure that the address of the trusted peer is reachable
• ensure that the trusted peer is a Celestia Bridge Node and it's live
