Getting node ID / node address
Node ID or node address is a part of peer info. It's calculated from node's pubKey as hex(address(nodePubKey)). To get node id run the following command on the node's machine:
cheqd-noded tendermint show-node-id
Get validator address
Validator address is a function of validator's public key. To get bech32 encoded validator address run this command on node's machine:
$ cheqd-noded tendermint show-address
cheqdvalcons1sg4azh7qwk6akm0eadkgvgq2kegtzksr09a685
There are several ways to get hex-encoded validator address:
1.Convert from bech32
cheqd-noded keys parse <bech-32-encoded-address>
2.Query node using CLI:
cheqd-noded status
Look for "ValidatorInfo":{"Address":"..."}
Getting validator public key
Validator public key is used in create-validator transactions. To get bech32 encoded validator public key, run the following command on the node's machine:
$ cheqd-noded tendermint show-validator
​
{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"y8v/nsf+VFCnJ7c9ZM/C4tUMnWKHhU+K+B82B+5vUZg="}
Sharing peer information
Peer info is used to connect to peers when setting up a new node. It has the following format:
<node-id>@<node-url>
Example:
[email protected]:26656
Using this information other participants will be able to join your node.
