Create a wallet, don’t forget to save the mnemonic:

initiad keys add wallet

If you already have a wallet, you can recover with:

initiad keys add wallet --recover

Request tokens at the faucet. After full synchronization, check the balance, if everything is okay, proceed to create a validator.

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

You can also check your balance in explorer.

Create a validator:

initiad tx mstaking create-validator \--amount 1000000uinit \--from wallet  \--commission-rate 0.1 \--commission-max-rate 0.2 \--commission-max-change-rate 0.01 \--pubkey $(initiad tendermint show-validator) \--moniker "$VALIDATOR" \--chain-id initiation-1 \--gas auto --fees 80000uinit \-y
