Xion Testnet-2 Full Node Setup Guide

This guide will help you set up a full node for the Xion testnet-2 network using xiond

Prerequisites

• Linux/macOS (instructions are for Unix-like systems)
• At least 2 CPU cores, 4GB RAM, 100GB+ disk space

1. Install xiond Binary

Download the latest release and install: https://github.com/burnt-labs/xion/releases

2. Initialize Node

Replace <moniker> with your node name:

xiond init <moniker> --chain-id xion-testnet-2

3. Download Genesis File

wget -O ~/.xion/config/genesis.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/burnt-labs/xion-testnet-2/main/config/genesis.json

4. Configure Peers

Edit ~/.xiond/config/config.toml and set persistent peers. Example:

persistent_peers = "<peer1>,<peer2>,..."

You can find up-to-date peer addresses in the official Discord or community channels.

5. Configure Minimum Gas Price

Edit ~/.xiond/config/app.toml:

minimum-gas-prices = "0.001uxion"

6. Start the Node

xiond start

7. Monitor Logs

Troubleshooting

• Ensure ports 26656 (P2P) and 26657 (RPC) are open.
• If you encounter issues, check the logs and reach out on Discord.
