6. List your Validator Node on Cifer Chain Directory

Here's a simplified guide to register your node on the Cifer Chain Registry, ensuring it appears on the Chain Directory and becomes discoverable by users.

What you will need

Your Node ID
Your domain name or IP address and port number
A 1:1 aspect ratio PNG logo (recommended size: 1200x1200 pixels or larger)

6.1 Find your Node ID

Run the command ciferd status on your node.

$ ciferd status

The output will display your node information, including your Node ID (look for the value under "id") and Port Number (listed under "listen_addr").

"node_info":{"protocol_version":{"p2p":"8","block":"11","app":"0"},"id":"..........","listen_addr":"tcp://0.0.0.0:26656","network":"cifer-2","version":"0.38.6","channels":"40202122233038606100","moniker":"cifer-2","other":{"tx_index":"on","rpc_address":"tcp://0.0.0.0:26657"}},"sync_info":{"latest_block_hash":"0789B66529173B4F2D3CD12160756604B1E847EFBC354549897AF819227C43B7","latest_app_hash":"A44931E14BB99F43B88E658E767A6688393CA2365BE405BC270F5AFE5669DCEB","latest_block_height":"1106","latest_block_time":"2024-07-11T14:36:50.038275228Z","earliest_block_hash":"122653E10DB3C3D45081CBAD158D9F0F2D48E481F80C2540EBB5CBCE698C8891","earliest_app_hash":"E3B0C44298FC1C149AFBF4C8996FB92427AE41E4649B934CA495991B7852B855","earliest_block_height":"1","earliest_block_time":"2024-07-11T14:18:06.506081329Z","catching_up":false},"validator_info":{"address":"8CBB6BEB430A62B23FFAD3ECEA2E5966F81ECB8D","pub_key":{"type":"tendermint/PubKeyEd25519","value":".........."},"voting_power":"100000000"}}

6.2 Register your Node ID

Head over to the Cifer chain's chain.json file located in the Chain Registry Repository on CiferAI's GitHub:

Under the "peers" section, you can register as either a seed or a persistent peer. Add your node information using the following format:

"id": Your Node ID (from )
"address": Your domain name or IP address followed by port (e.g., 34.128.114.243:26656)
"provider": Your validator name

chain.json

"peers": {
    "seeds": [
      {
        "id": "0e8ff52fd093a99bd08b3c294d683761fbad7ca8",
        "address": "34.128.114.243:26656",
        "provider": "Cifer"
      }
    ],
    "persistent_peers": [
      {
        "id": "3406d8c2f3f45f0a2364e2518d8da221186439d9",
        "address": "147.50.231.205:26656",
        "provider": "Nomad Block Validator"
      }
    ]
  },

Submit a pull request on the CiferAI GitHub repository with your updated chain.json

6.3 Upload Your Validator Logo (Optional)

Prepare a 1:1 PNG logo file with a recommended size of 1200x1200 pixels or larger.
Name the file with your Validator Address (e.g., cifevaloperxxxxxx.png).
