Quicksilver killerqueen-1 network will start @ 09:00 UTC on Thursday 23rd June.

Please check our guide to get your validator ready before chain starts!

You can lookup for your submitted gentx data in genesis file

Folks who did not submit a gentx, will be able to call the faucet once. This will give them a decent amount of tokens and will be able to get in the set easily if any genesis validators fail to start.

The first task will involved being up immediately after genesis. Every block missed in the first 100 blocks will reduce the points you can earn for this task so make sure your nodes are set up and ready to rock

Sei are planning to increase the active validator set to 50 nodes.

All validators are suggested to run optimization noscript and restart their seid process

wget -qO optimize-configs.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sei-protocol/testnet/main/sei-testnet-2/optimize-configs.sh
sudo chmod +x optimize-configs.sh && ./optimize-configs.sh
sudo systemctl restart seid

Note that this noscript significantly lowers conesnsus times, so it is ok to miss a few blocks here and there as long as you're not consistently missing blocks.

We have created separate channels for each testnet project that we are participating in. So now we can structure our communication better.

We will post all announcements in channels and duplicate it here in telegram

Please try to help each other and be respectful. Lets make this community better and grow together

And thanks for your support 🙏 ❤️

Hi community! We want to introduce ourselves. kjnodes were funded at the beginning of 2022 and we already have grown so much since then. We are young but very ambitious DevOps engineers from Latvia with more than 10 years experience working in IT industry. Crypto enthusiasts and node operators in various crypto ecosystems. Currently we are focused on building our own validator portfolio and develop our own community of crypto enthusiasts like us. We hope that our guides and instructions helped you in some way to learn more. As you may know we are also running validators and operating nodes in mainnets (Agoric, NYM and tomorrow Kujira). Nowadays its very hard to compete with other validators as validator seats are very limited. More and more people are joining in every day to grab their peace of cake.

So we would like to ask you for some help. If you want to support us and help us grow please consider delegating some tokens to our mainnet validators as a thank you for our hard work:

We will be very grateful for every single delegation and keep working even harder to grow our community!

Thank you very much ❤️
