KYVE Node Guide

Install Go

KYVE is built using Go version 1.20+. Follow the instructions from the official website to install go.

go version # e.g. go version go1.20.1 linux/amd64

In addition to Go, make sure you have git and make installed.

GitHub

Clone and build KYVE using git:

git clone <https://github.com/KYVENetwork/chain.git>
cd chain
git fetch
git checkout tags/<tag>
make build ENV=mainnet

Here the <tag> is the latest version which you can get here.

<aside> ⚠️ Note: You can find the compiled binary under chain/build/kyved

After the download was done, verify that it was successful:

./kyved version

Initialize Node

We need to initialize the node to create all the necessary validator and node configuration files

Mainnet
Kaon
Korellia

Save Chain ID

We recommend saving the chain-id into your kyved's client.toml. This will make it so you do not have to manually pass in the chain-id flag for every CLI command.

./kyved config chain-id kyve-1
