Create Validator

You can create your validator by using command below :

crossfid --home ${DAEMON_HOME} tx staking create-validator \
  --amount=9900000000000000000000mpx \
  --pubkey=$(crossfid --home ${DAEMON_HOME} tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker="${MONIKER}" \
  --identity=${DISPLAY_PIC} \
  --details="${DETAILS}" \
  --website="${WEBSITE}" \
  --security-contact="${CONTACT}" \
  --chain-id="crossfi-evm-testnet-1" \
  --commission-rate="0.10" \
  --commission-max-rate="0.20" \
  --commission-max-change-rate="0.01" \
  --min-self-delegation="1000000" \
  --gas="auto" \
  --gas-prices="10000000000000mpx" \
  --gas-adjustment=1.5 \
  --from=$WALLET

It's possible that you won't have enough MPX to be part of the active set of validators in the beginning. Users are able to delegate to inactive validators (those outside of the active set) using the XFI Console You can confirm that you are in the validator set by using a third party explorer like XFI Scan.
