STRIDE_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(strided keys show $WALLET -a)

STRIDE_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(strided keys show $WALLET --bech val -a)

echo 'export STRIDE_WALLET_ADDRESS='${STRIDE_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile

echo 'export STRIDE_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${STRIDE_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile

source $HOME/.bash_profile

Get some test token from discord channel #token-faucet , Click here to go to discord

strided query bank balances $STRIDE_WALLET_ADDRESS

Create validator

strided tx staking create-validator \
  --amount 10000000ustrd \
