wget-q-O lava.sh <https://q>**uantum.valkyrie**/lava.sh && sudo chmod +x lava.sh && ./lava.sh && source $HOME/.bash_profile

Create a wallet, remember to save the mnemonics:

lavad keys add wallet

If you already have a wallet, you can restore it with the command:

lavad keys add wallet--recover

Request tokens in the tap. After full synchronization check the balance, if everything is fine, proceed to create a validator.

lavad q bank balances$(lavad keys show wallet-a)

You can also check your balance in our explorer.

Create a validator:

lavad tx staking create-validator \\--amount=1000000ulava \\--pubkey=$(lavad tendermint show-validator) \\--moniker="$VALIDATOR" \\  --chain-id="lava-testnet-2" \\  --commission-rate="0.10" \\  --commission-max-rate="0.20" \\  --commission-max-change-rate="0.01" \\  --min-self-delegation="1" \\--gas=auto \\--fees 1000ulava \\--from=wallet-y
