⚙️Setup Guide

Follow the guide to set up your Dymension Mainnet node

Step 1: Update and install necessary packages

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade --yes && \
sudo apt install git build-essential ufw curl jq snapd screen ncdu nano fuse ufw --yes

Step 2: Install Go

sudo snap install go --classic && \
echo 'export GOPATH="$HOME/go"' >> ~/.profile && \
echo 'export GOBIN="$GOPATH/bin"' >> ~/.profile && \
echo 'export PATH="$GOBIN:$PATH"' >> ~/.profile && \
source ~/.profile && \
go version

Step 3: Clone repo and compile binary (you can find releases here: click)

git clone https://github.com/dymensionxyz/dymension
cd dymension
git checkout v$(curl -s https://dymension-rpc.anyvalid.com/abci_info | jq -r .result[].version)
make install

Step 4: Init your keys and download genesis file

dymd init <moniker> --chain-id dymension_1100-1
dymd keys add <keyname>
wget https://github.com/dymensionxyz/networks/raw/main/mainnet/dymension/genesis.json -O /root/.dymension/config/genesis.json

Step 5: Set up gas_price / persistent_peers / pruning

sed -i "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"20000000000adym\"/;" $HOME/.dymension/config/app.toml
sed -E -i 's/persistent_peers = \".*\"/persistent_peers = \"5f9ed4b975e0896b8ea862d29a45658e38b4f95d@88.99.140.176:26606\"/' $HOME/.dymension/config/config.toml
pruning="custom"
pruning_keep_recent="100"
pruning_keep_every="0"
pruning_interval="10"
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.dymension/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.dymension/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = \"$pruning_keep_every\"/" $HOME/.dymension/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.dymension/config/app.toml

Step 6: Set up Dymension service

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/dymd.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=Dymension daemon
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$HOME/go/bin/dymd start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=100000

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

Step 7: Enable Dymension daemon

sudo systemctl enable dymd
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

If you want to synchronize your node from the 0 block:

Start Dymension service and watch logs

sudo systemctl restart dymd
sudo journalctl -u dymd -f -o cat

Or you can quickly synchronize your node through State Sync:
