🚀Sui have added option to install their application using docker

Now you don't have to wait anymore for binaries to build, Application comes in a prebuilt image. Also this setup saves us a lot of version maintenance tasks as docker image is being updated by team frequently.

We have updated our guide to use docker container instead of binary build.

Check it out here:
https://github.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/tree/main/sui

To remove previous sui installation use command below:
sudo systemctl stop suid
sudo systemctl disable suid
sudo rm -rf $HOME/sui /var/sui/
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/suid.service

Note: As a reminder, sui is still in very early stage, no incentives, testnet will start on August

Aptos has released new node version for AIT2: testnet_41e4066d6500df4c026407b1b461d1581f13c360

To update your Aptos AIT2 validator node:
cd $HOME/testnet
yq -i '.services.validator.image = "${VALIDATOR_IMAGE_REPO:-aptoslabs/validator}:${IMAGE_TAG:-testnet_41e4066d6500df4c026407b1b461d1581f13c360}"' docker-compose.yaml
docker compose up -d

To check current node version (it should be like in image above):
docker ps

#aptos #AIT2

Killerqueen-1 testnet will end today at 15 July (45 minutes from now). This is a last call for folks to undertake any tasks that were not completed. After this time, operators can power down their nodes.

Remember for those that used the same address for mainnet and testnet KYC, you will need to make sure your seed is stored safely and backed up BEFORE you decommission your node!

UI testing has unfortunately not gone totally to plan, and users were not able to undertake all the tasks team had planned on that front, but it was still invaluable input and users will still be rewarded for their participation there.

Further information will follow

We have updated guide for sui node setup. Now it includes instructions to create your sui wallet and do some operations with it.
If you were using our guide to setup your sui node before, we recommend to remove previous installation by using commands:

cd $HOME/sui
docker-compose down --volumes
cd $HOME && rm -rf sui

After that please refer to this guide to setup your node and wallet: https://github.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/tree/main/sui

Today we have finished setting our first IBC relayer between two cosmos chains using Hermes. We have also created a guide to help our subscribers to learn and deploy their own transfer channels. Also those who are participating in sei testnet can try to complete relayer mission.

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

Congratulations guys who was taking part in AIT2. Testnet is officially ended and snapshots were taken!

Please feel free to start exiting AIT2 now following our updated guide here: https://github.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/tree/main/aptos/AIT2#leaving-validator-set

It’s okay if you have longer lockup time and couldn’t withdraw your fund yet. As long as you leave the validator set, you’re good to shutdown the node

Congratulations guys who was taking part in Quicksilver KillerQueen Testnet!

The site for checking your Killer Queen incentivized testnet allocations is live! Please note that currently you must lookup your testnet rewards using your testnet address, not your mainnet address

https://allocations.quicksilver.zone/

As per the disclaimer, the data here is subject to change. If evidence of misbehavior, breach of rules or other such misconduct comes to light before genesis, then the allocations listed may change.

As it stands, team intend to distribute 5,000,000 QCK tokens to 1183 users, that have passed KYC and have followed the rules. The highest allocation was to the validator Punq who earned a very respectable 15349 QCK tokens 🥇 . Precisely 150 users earned in excess of 10000 QCK tokens 🥳 and 410 users received more than 5000 QCK tokens.

kjnodes validator have earned 14725 QCK tokens, what are your results?

Stride’s Incentivized Testnet will go live today Monday July 25th @ 10PM UTC!

How can I participate in the testnet?
1. Use the Stride incentivized testnet: Stake some tokens on Stride’s incentivized testnet! Get some tokens from faucet and use https://beta.stride.zone/ to liquid stake with Stride. After liquid staking, submit this form: https://forms.gle/gSYaKXu3KUHFzQm87
2. Run a validator: Follow the instructions in #instructions to spin up a Stride validator.
3. Run a relayer between Stride and a supported host zone: Spin up an IBC relayer between Stride and one of our supported host zones. Stride will support liquid staking ATOM (to stATOM) at genesis. Team will announce Stride's second supported host zone during our Twitter spaces today at 7PM UTC! 🤫

Guides to set up validator for Incentivized Testnet will come later when team provide with more details and new binaries. Stay tuned.

Incentivized Testnet FAQ & Rules:
👉When can I begin earning rewards?
At the launch of incentivized testnet, Monday July 25th @ 10pm UTC. Actions taken before then will not count towards rewards.
👉How do I verify I will receive my rewards?
We will not provide verification that you have completed the required steps to be eligible for a reward (to keep incentive distribution fair). We’re tracking incentive eligibility via snapshots, so if you transact, validate, or relay on-chain, rest assured you’ll receive your reward at mainnet genesis! Have fun with the testnet: transact, ibc-transfer, stake, redeem, claim and more on the testnet!
👉How many incentives are available?
Incentivized testnet participants are eligible to receive 1% of genesis supply. We’ll announce larger ongoing airdrops in Twitter spaces this week, stay tuned and join us tomorrow live @ 7PM UTC!
👉Will I be rewarded for running a validator up to this point?
No, tracking incentives begins with the launch of the incentivized testnet.
👉How long will the incentivized testnet last?
We expect the incentivized testnet to run until our mainnet launch, in the next three weeks.
👉Is the bug bounty still live?
Yes, the bug bounty will continue throughout the incentivized testnet.

SubQuery Frontier test network has ended

The scoring mechanism for season 3 has ended and you can completely shut off your indexers. No points have or will be awarded after the finishing period

The testnet will remain operational for the near future to allow our internal team to improve the UI and add new features, the public can still use it to practice setting up their indexer

Kepler will take over after Season 3 of the Frontier Network and will be like a real network. Team will provide plenty of warning before Kepler launches so stay tuned!

🚨 Incentivized testnet is NOW OFFICIALLY LIVE! 🚨

We have updated our guides to match latest Stride Incentivized testnet configurations.

To upgrade your existing STRIDE-1 validator node to STRIDE-TESTNET2 please follow this guide

For new validator setup please use regular guide

Cheers! 🚀

Qualified SubQuery Frontier season 3 indexers will be invited to take a part in private sale. Invitation emails will be sent this week.

Qualified Indexers are those that received more than 100 points in the Frontier Season 3 Testnet challenges (the most anyone scored was 1,550!).

Currenly team has published a list of Qualified Season 3 Indexers that can be found here:
https://pastebin.com/raw/vzzUHyK0

We have not found ourselves in that list although we have collected more than 1000 points.

Team have found some issue with the process in which it identified the discord users with the correct number of indexing points in Season 3 of Frontier.
So this list is not final and will be updated when team finds a fix

Im not sure why team decided to qualify every indexer who collected atleast 100 points. In my opinion this criteria had to be much higher :shrug:

What do you think? And did you find yourselves in that list?

#subquery

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
