Download Genesis

Elys Official genesis link:

wget -O genesis.json https://github.com/elys-network/elys/blob/main/chain/genesis.json --inet4-only
mv genesis.json ~/.elys/config

The genesis file link below is Polkachu's mirror download.

 wget -O genesis.json https://snapshots.polkachu.com/testnet-genesis/elys/genesis.json --inet4-only
 mv genesis.json ~/.elys/config

Configure Seed

Using a seed node to bootstrap is the best practice in our view. Alternatively, you can use addrbook or persistent_peers.

sed -i 's/seeds = ""/seeds = "[e-mail]:22056"/' ~/.elys/config/config.toml
