We have prepared guide to complete 3rd task of Stride Incentivized testnet:
- Run a relayer between Stride and a supported host zone: Spin up an IBC relayer between Stride and one of our supported host zones

Guide can be found here:
https://github.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/blob/main/stride/GAIA/ibc_relayer.md

Some of guys from our community have already completed this task following our guide.

Also please join our discord to get help or discuss: https://discord.gg/278QTzQV

Update from the Stride Team about Relayers task:
Approach to rewarding relayers is to have them put their discord ID in the memo of transactions they relay. This should guarantee only one relayer per discord ID can function simultaneously.

To change existing memo please follow these steps
RELAYER_NAME='kjnodes#8455' # use your discord id here
sed -i.bak -E "s|^(memo_prefix[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1\"${RELAYER_NAME}\"|" $HOME/.hermes/config.toml
systemctl restart hermesd

Or just edit memo_prefix in $HOME/.hermes/config.toml file followed by service restart

STRIDE-TESTNET-4 is now online!

If you are setting your validator node from the scratch:
https://github.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/tree/main/stride/README.md

If you want to upgrade your existing validator node to new testnet:
https://github.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/blob/main/stride/upgrade_to_IT.md

Please make sure you have a copy of your wallet 24-word mnemonic. Team is going to redelegate tokens to the same addresses used in the previous testnet. Also its always recommended to save your priv_validator_key.json just in case.

NOTE: This is completely new chain so you will have to recreate your validator. All tokens from previous testnet are moved to the new chain and should be available in your wallet balance.

P.S. All the testnet task guides will be updated matching up the new changes. Also we will update relayer related tasks with new OSMO zone soon as we finish setting it up ourselves.
