Connect to Initia Network

This is a node setting guide to connecting to Mainnet or Testnet to run as a blockchain node.

To connect a node with Initia Mainnet or Testnet, information on genesis block and nodes already connect to those corresponding networks are required.

The genesis file and known peer information can be found on the links below. By following the next steps specified on this document, you can run Initia node and get logs on block syncing.

• Closed Testnet

Network	Devnet
Chain ID	mahalo-2
Initia Version	v0.2.3
Genesis	https://initia.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/mahalo-2/genesis.json
Known Peers	09446781fcc4cb0dc6b9331ab4fbe2bc6808fc15@34.87.121.251:26656

Genesis File

The file name for the genesis is fixed to genesis.json and needs to be moved and located in ~/.initia/config directory. If Initia's HOME directory has been set to somewhere else, move the file to the corresponding config directory.

Access Information

Use the persistent peer information provided publicly, or fetch peer information from addrbook.json of an already running node.

Persistent Peer

Known Peers information can be found on each of the network repositories linked above. Select one and set values on p2p.peristent_peers in ~/.initia.config.config.toml.

The below is an example:

persistent_peers = "09446781fcc4cb0dc6b9331ab4fbe2bc6808fc15@34.87.121.251:26656"

Seed

seeds = "[e-mail]:26756"
