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.

Prior to moving forward, please verify that the current validator is inactive. Engaging in double voting can result in significant slashing penalties.

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.
