Restore a Validator

The restoration of a validator on a new Rapid node can be accomplished using the following key components:

  1. The Consensus key, which is located within the file path ~/.rapid/config/priv_validator.json.

  2. The mnemonic associated with the validator's wallet.

For the restoration of a validator, follow these steps:

  • Establish a complete Rapid node that is synchronized with the most recent block.

  • Substitute the ~/.rapidd/config/priv_validator.json file on the new node with the corresponding file extracted from the previous node. Proceed to restart your node after completing the file replacement.
