Configure the Xion Daemon
How to initialize and configure the xiond binary
As an application-specific blockchain using the Cosmos SDK, we benefit from its extensive configuration options.
Initialize the Xion Daemon
As is the case for most Cosmos-based chains, the daemon is initialized like so:
$ xiond init my-awesome-moniker \
--chain-id xion-testnet-2 \
--home /tmp/node
Refer to the config directory
The
xiond init
command will output this structure to the specified--home:
. # /tmp/node
|- data # Contains the databases used by the node.
|- config/
|- app.toml # Application-related configuration file.
|- config.toml # Tendermint-related configuration file.
|- genesis.json # The genesis file.
|- node_key.json # Private key to use for node authentication in the p2p protocol.
|- priv_validator_key.json # Private key to use as a validator in the consensus protocol.
