Composable Cosmos Testnet 4

Composable Cosmos Testnet 4 serves the following purposes:

  • Testing chain upgrades before mainnet releases.
  • Connecting Ethereum Goerli to the first Cosmos chain via IBC.
  • An environment for developers and users to test the functionalities of CVM and MANTIS on a Cosmos-only blockchain.

Setup Instruction​

1. Building the binary

There are two ways of setting up the centaurid binary, building from source or installing from binary URL, which is mentioned in the install script in the next section.

To build the binary from source, run these commands:

#mkdir $HOME/go/bin # ignore this command if you already have $HOME/go/bin folder
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin
cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/notional-labs/composable-centauri
cd composable-centauri
git checkout v5.2.5-testnet4 # Using v5.2.5-testnet4
make install
centaurid version # v5.2.5-testnet4

2. Joining testnet

Here is a full script to install centaurid binary and run the node with state sync. This script should be run with administration privileges by running sudo script.sh:

# script.sh
centaurid init <moniker> --chain-id banksy-testnet-4
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notional-labs/composable-networks/main/banksy-testnet-4/genesis.json -O $HOME/.banksy/config/genesis.json


# state sync
## downloading wasm snapshot first
curl -o - -L https://composable.wasmt4.stavr.tech/wasm-composable.tar.lz4 | lz4 -c -d - | tar -x -C $HOME/.banksy --strip-components 2

SNAP_RPC="https://rpc-banksy4.notional.ventures:443"
LATEST_HEIGHT=$(curl -s $SNAP_RPC/block | jq -r .result.block.header.height); \
BLOCK_HEIGHT=$((LATEST_HEIGHT - 2000)); \
TRUST_HASH=$(curl -s "$SNAP_RPC/block?height=$BLOCK_HEIGHT" | jq -r .result.block_id.hash)
sed -i.bak -E "s|^(enable[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1true| ; \
s|^(rpc_servers[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1\"$SNAP_RPC,$SNAP_RPC\"| ; \
s|^(trust_height[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1$BLOCK_HEIGHT| ; \
s|^(trust_hash[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1\"$TRUST_HASH\"|" $HOME/.banksy/config/config.toml

# run node
centaurid start --p2p.seeds a89d3d9fc0465615aa1100dcf53172814aa2b8cf@168.119.91.22:2260

3. Join testnet as a validator To join banksy-testnet-4 as a validator, you should setup a running node as in step 1 above and wait for it to be fully synced, and then setup validator:

  • Create a key:
centaurid keys add <validator-key> # generate a new key, or use `--recover` to recover an existed key with mnemonic
  • For testnet tokens, head to ethibc-testnet-faucet channel on the Composable discord and send the following message with your address included:
$request <address> composable
  • To see the current balance of the address, run the following command:
$balance <address> composable
  • Create validator:
centaurid tx staking create-validator --amount=1000000000000ppica --moniker="<validator-name>" --chain-id=banksy-testnet-4 --commission-rate="0.05"  --commission-max-change-rate="0.01" --commission-max-rate="0.20" --from=<validator-key> --node=https://rpc-banksy4.notional.ventures:443 --gas=auto --min-self-delegation 10 --pubkey=$(centaurid tendermint show-validator)

To add validator info:

centaurid tx staking edit-validator \
    --website="" \ # URL to validator website
    --identity="" \ # keybase.io identity 
    --details="" \ # Additional detail 
    --security-contact="" \ # security email
    --from=<validator-key> \
    --node="https://rpc-banksy4.notional.ventures:443"
