5. Initiliazie the Node

stabled init $MONIKER --chain-id $STABLE_CHAIN_ID

6. Download Genesis and addrbook

cp ~/.stabled/config/genesis.json ~/.stabled/config/genesis.json.backup
curl -Ls https://vault.astrostake.xyz/mainnet/stable/genesis.json > $HOME/.stabled/config/genesis.json 
curl -Ls https://vault.astrostake.xyz/mainnet/stable/addrbook.json > $HOME/.stabled/config/addrbook.json

7. Configure Node

app.toml

CONFIG="$HOME/.stabled/config"

# Enable JSON-RPC
sed -i '/^\[json-rpc\]/,/^\[/{s/^enable *=.*/enable = true/}' $CONFIG/app.toml
# RPC HTTP (8545 → 0.0.0.0:8545)
sed -i '/^\[json-rpc\]/,/^\[/{s/address = ".*/address = "0.0.0.0:8545"/}' $CONFIG/app.toml
# RPC WebSocket (8546 → 0.0.0.0:8546)
sed -i '/^\[json-rpc\]/,/^\[/{s/ws-address = ".*/ws-address = "0.0.0.0:8546"/}' $CONFIG/app.toml
# Allow unprotected txs
sed -i '/^\[json-rpc\]/,/^\[/{s/^allow-unprotected-txs *=.*/allow-unprotected-txs = true/}' $CONFIG/app.toml

Set inter-block-cache to false

sed -i 's/^inter-block-cache *=.*/inter-block-cache = false/' ~/.stabled/config/app.toml

Optional: Set Custom Port

app.toml

sed -i.bak -e "s%:1317%:${STABLE_PORT}317%g;
s%:8080%:${STABLE_PORT}080%g;
s%:9090%:${STABLE_PORT}090%g;
s%:9091%:${STABLE_PORT}091%g;
s%:8545%:${STABLE_PORT}545%g;
s%:8546%:${STABLE_PORT}546%g;
s%:6065%:${STABLE_PORT}065%g" $HOME/.stabled/config/app.toml

config.toml

sed -i.bak -e "s%:26658%:${STABLE_PORT}658%g;
s%:26657%:${STABLE_PORT}657%g;
s%:6060%:${STABLE_PORT}060%g;
s%:26656%:${STABLE_PORT}656%g;
s%^external_address = \"\"%external_address = \"$(wget -qO- eth0.me):${STABLE_PORT}656\"%;
s%:26660%:${STABLE_PORT}660%g" $HOME/.stabled/config/config.toml

Set peers

SEEDS="17a539fda42863a99755547e1c9b3ec4c38a4439@seed1.stable.xyz:26656"
PEERS="e314478d30ebc066ee21f2ece9a786f8b4b7a3f2@57.129.85.97:26656,b896f6f8ca5a4d1cc40de09407df0c96e76df950@57.129.85.107:26656"
sed -i -e "/^\[p2p\]/,/^\[/{s/^[[:space:]]*seeds *=.*/seeds = \"$SEEDS\"/}" \
       -e "/^\[p2p\]/,/^\[/{s/^[[:space:]]*persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$PEERS\"/}" $HOME/.stabled/config/config.toml

---

Optional: Disable Indexer

Disables the transaction indexer to reduce disk usage and I/O load. Use this if you don’t need transaction search (tx_search) or historical query support.

sed -i -e "s/^indexer *=.*/indexer = \"null\"/" $CONFIG/config.toml

Configure Pruning

Pruning Strategy

Select a strategy to manage your node's storage usage.

💡Recommended for Validators to fine-tune storage.

Keep Recent

Number of recent blocks/states to keep in disk.

blocks

Interval

Frequency of deletion. E.g., 10 means prune every 10 blocks.

blocks

8. Install Snapshot

cp $HOME/.stabled/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.stabled/priv_validator_state.json.backup
rm -rf $HOME/.stabled/data
curl https://vault.astrostake.xyz/testnet/stable/stable-testnet_snapshot.tar.lz4 | lz4 -dc - | tar -xf - -C $HOME/.stabled
mv $HOME/.stabled/priv_validator_state.json.backup $HOME/.stabled/data/priv_validator_state.json

9. Create Service

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/stabled.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=Stable Daemon Service
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/stabled start --chain-id stable_988-1
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535
StandardOutput=journal
StandardError=journal
SyslogIdentifier=stabled

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

10. Start Service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable stabled
sudo systemctl restart stabled
sudo systemctl status stabled

Useful Commands

Check logs

sudo journalctl -u stabled -fo cat

Check Sync

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/astrostake/scripts/refs/heads/main/cosmos_sync_monitor.sh | bash -s -- --directory $HOME/.stabled --public-rpc https://stable-rpc.linknode.org --interval 5

🛡️ Security

To apply a quick security baseline, you can configure your firewall like this:

sudo ufw allow ${STABLE_PORT}656/tcp comment 'STABLE Node p2p Port'

Delete Validator

⚠️ Critical: Backup Your Validator Key!

Make sure to backup priv_validator_key.json and priv_validator_state.json. Do not lose this key — it is required to run your validator.

File location: ~/.stabled/config/priv_validator_key.json ~/.stabled/data/priv_validator_state.json

cd $HOME
sudo systemctl stop stabled
sudo systemctl disable stabled
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/stabled.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo rm -f $(which stabled)
sudo rm -rf $HOME/.stabled
sudo rm -rf $HOME/stable
