Cosmos Hub Provider Setup

Setting up your Cosmos Hub Provider will be similar to a Lava Provider. Follow the steps here for setting up your domain name: https://node.z4ch.xyz/nodes-+-providers/lava/lava-node-setup/lava-provider-tls#setup-domain

Create the Provider file

Use the command below to generate the .yml file for COSMOSHUB.

RPC=$(cat $HOME/.gaia/config/config.toml | sed -n '/TCP or UNIX socket address for the RPC server to listen on/{n;p;}' | sed 's/.*://; s/".*//')
GRPC=$(cat $HOME/.gaia/config/app.toml | sed -n '/Address defines the gRPC server address to bind to/{n;p;}' | sed 's/.*://; s/".*//')
API=$(cat $HOME/.gaia/config/app.toml | sed -n '/Address defines the API server to listen on./{n;p;}' | sed 's/.*://; s/".*//')

echo "RPC:"$RPC "GRPC:"$GRPC "API:"$API

mkdir $HOME/config
sudo tee << EOF >/dev/null $HOME/config/atom.yml
endpoints:
  - api-interface: tendermintrpc
    chain-id: COSMOSHUB
    network-address:
      address: 0.0.0.0:2223
      disable-tls: true
    node-urls:
      - url: ws://127.0.0.1:$RPC/websocket
      - url: http://127.0.0.1:$RPC
  - api-interface: grpc
    chain-id: COSMOSHUB
    network-address:
      address: 0.0.0.0:2223
      disable-tls: true
    node-urls:
      url: 127.0.0.1:$GRPC
  - api-interface: rest
    chain-id: COSMOSHUB
    network-address:
      address: 0.0.0.0:2223
      disable-tls: true
    node-urls:
      url: http://127.0.0.1:$API
EOF

Start the Provider

To start the Cosmos provider process, run the following command. Change the --geolocation value depending on where you server is located. Change the --from value depending on the name of your wallet

lavap rpcprovider atom.yml --reward-server-storage $HOME/.lava/rewardserver --geolocation 2 --from z4ch --chain-id lava-mainnet-1 --keyring-backend file --log_level debug

Test the Provider Process!

Change the --from value depending on the name of your wallet. Change the --endpoints value depending on the domain you have setup

lavap test rpcprovider --from z4ch --endpoints "atom.z4ch.xyz:443,COSMOSHUB"

Stake the Provider on Chain

Use a variation of the following command to stake on chain; the minimum stake is :

15000000000ulava or 15,000 LAVA

MONIKER="Provider Name"
DOMAIN="Provider Domain URL"
PORT=443
echo $MONIKER $DOMAIN $PORT
lavap tx pairing stake-provider COSMOSHUB "15000000000ulava" "$DOMAIN:$PORT,[2]" [2] [validator] --from [wallet_name] --provider-moniker "$MONIKER"  --delegate-limit "1000000000000ulava" --gas-prices 0.1ulava --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto -y

Example:

lavap tx pairing stake-provider COSMOSHUB "15000000000ulava" "atom.z4ch.xyz:443,2" 2 lava@valoper1amkaaut9fs395v3vpuymp6zmggva32mkkvr7rq --from z4ch2 --provider-moniker "zwei node" --delegate-limit "1000000000000ulava" --gas-prices 0.1ulava --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas auto -y

Some notes:

• [validator] you need to indicate a validator address, choose here: https://lava.explorers.guru/validators

• [2] replace this with the corresponding geolocation of your server

• --from should be followed by the key name of your funded account that you will use to stake your provider

• --provider-moniker will be the name of your provider

Congratulations, your Cosmos Provider is now up and running.
