Like any Cosmos-SDK chain, the hardware requirements are pretty modest.
- 3x CPUs; the faster clock speed the better
- 4GB RAM
- 80GB Disk
- Permanent Internet connection (traffic will be minimal during mainnet; 10Mbps will be plenty - for production at least 100Mbps is expected)
- 4x CPUs; the faster clock speed the better
- 8GB RAM
- 200GB of storage (SSD or NVME)

You can setup your kujira fullnode in few minutes by using automated script below. It will prompt you to input your validator node name!
wget -O kujira.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/main/kujira/kujira.sh && chmod +x kujira.sh && ./kujira.sh
You can follow manual guide if you better prefer setting up node manually
When installation is finished please load variables into system
source $HOME/.bash_profile
Next you have to make sure your validator is syncing blocks. You can use command below to check synchronization status
kujirad status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo
indexer="null"
sed -i -e "s/^indexer *=.*/indexer = \"$indexer\"/" $HOME/.kujira/config/config.toml
sudo systemctl restart kujirad
sleep 3
sudo rm -rf $HOME/.kujira/data/tx_index.db
You can state sync your node in minutes by running commands below. Special thanks to polkachu | polkachu.com#1249
N/A
To create new wallet you can use command below. Don’t forget to save the mnemonic
kujirad keys add $WALLET
(OPTIONAL) To recover your wallet using seed phrase
kujirad keys add $WALLET --recover
To get current list of wallets
kujirad keys list
Add wallet and valoper address into variables
KUJIRA_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(kujirad keys show $WALLET -a)
KUJIRA_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(kujirad keys show $WALLET --bech val -a)
Load variables into the system
echo 'export KUJIRA_WALLET_ADDRESS='${KUJIRA_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export KUJIRA_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${KUJIRA_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
Before creating validator please make sure that you have at least 1 kuji (1 kuji is equal to 1000000 ukuji) and your node is synchronized
To check your wallet balance:
kujirad query bank balances $KUJIRA_WALLET_ADDRESS
If your wallet does not show any balance than probably your node is still syncing. Please wait until it finish to synchronize and then continue
To create your validator run command below
kujirad tx staking create-validator \
--amount 100000ukuji \
--from $WALLET \
--commission-max-change-rate "0.01" \
--commission-max-rate "0.2" \
--commission-rate "0.07" \
--min-self-delegation "1" \
--pubkey $(kujirad tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker $NODENAME \
--chain-id $KUJIRA_CHAIN_ID
To protect you keys please make sure you follow basic security rules
Good tutorial on how to set up ssh keys for authentication to your server can be found here
Start by checking the status of ufw.
sudo ufw status
Sets the default to allow outgoing connections, deny all incoming except ssh and 26656. Limit SSH login attempts
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp
sudo ufw limit ssh/tcp
sudo ufw allow ${KUJIRA_PORT}656,${KUJIRA_PORT}660/tcp
sudo ufw enable
To monitor and get alerted about your validator health status you can use my guide on Set up monitoring and alerting for kujira validator
This script will help you to estimate how much time it will take to fully synchronize your node
It measures average blocks per minute that are being synchronized for period of 5 minutes and then gives you results
wget -O synctime.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/main/kujira/tools/synctime.py && python3 ./synctime.py
