Installing

This guide assumes you have worked with cosmos-sdk blockchains previously. If you are just getting started, great! See the complete guide here.

Installing KVD

git clone https://github.com/Kava-Labs/kava.git
cd kava
# Ensure GO Modules are enabled
export GO111MODULE=on
make install

Create a Wallet

kvd init --chain-id=kava-testnet-2000 <your-moniker>
kvcli keys add <your_wallet_name>

Be sure to back up your mnemonic!

Create a Genesis Transaction

kvd add-genesis-account $(kvcli keys show <your_wallet_name> -a) 1000000000000ukava
kvd gentx --name <your_wallet_name> --amount 1000000000000ukava --ip <your-public-ip>

A genesis transaction should be written to $HOME/.kvd/config/gentx/gentx-<gen_tx_hash>.json

Submit Genesis Transaction

To be included in the genesis file for testnet two, fork the testnets repo and copy your genesis transaction to the 2000 directory. Submit your fork including your genesis transaction as a PR.
