Sui

Instructions to set up your Sui node.

Terminal window
sudo apt-get install jq -y

With the remaining steps in the guide, we assume the user you are using has enough permissions as a sudoer.

Check the appropriate version for the network accordingly in their docs

Terminal window
# This is an example - check their docs and release page to opt for the right version
SUI_SHA=b8eb8920aeca592d0cf15fbddc7f64ed4aad7202 # ex: testnet-v1.37.3
Terminal window
# verify correct version
echo $SUI_SHA


# create a temp dir for binaries
cd $HOME
mkdir binaries && cd binaries


# if you are on linux amd
wget https://releases.sui.io/$SUI_SHA/sui-node https://releases.sui.io/$SUI_SHA/sui
chmod +x *
sudo mv * /usr/bin/
# verify version
sui-node --version
cd $HOME
Terminal window
sudo mkdir -p /opt/sui/config/
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/sui/config/
cd /opt/sui/config/
curl -fLJO https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui-genesis/raw/main/mainnet/genesis.blob
wget -O fullnode.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MystenLabs/sui/main/crates/sui-config/data/fullnode-template.yaml
ls

Edit the fullnode.yaml file to include peer nodes for state synchronization. Append the following to the end of the current configuration

p2p-config:

Download the snapshot from the latest epoch.

Terminal window
sui-tool download-formal-snapshot --latest --genesis /opt/sui/config/genesis.blob       --network testnet      --path /opt/sui/db/  --num-parallel-downloads 50 --no-sign-request

If you encounter any failures, try lowering the num-parallel-downloads value.

Don’t forget also to set the value for object-store-config.bucket to the correct value as well in that file:

  • testnet: bucket: "mysten-testnet-archives"
  • mainnet: bucket: "mysten-mainnet-archives"

Create the systemd service file /etc/systemd/system/suid.service

Terminal window
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/suid.service &>/dev/null <<EOF

Once your sui node is fully synced, you can run a cURL request to see the latest epoch on your node:

Terminal window
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "suix_getLatestSuiSystemState",
  "params": []
}' localhost:9000 | jq .result.epoch

Compare the epoch number with explorer

In order for vald to connect to your node, your rpc_addr should be exposed in vald’s config.toml

Terminal window
start-with-bridge = true

Once your node is up and running, you need to add the Sui chain to your ampd daemon’s config.tomlfile. This can be done by adding in the following configuration:

[[handlers]]
type="SuiMsgVerifier"
cosmwasm_contract="axelar1sykyha8kzf35kc5hplqk76kdufntjn6w45ntwlevwxp74dqr3rvsq7fazh"
rpc_url="your_own_rpc"


[[handlers]]
type="SuiVerifierSetVerifier"
cosmwasm_contract="axelar1sykyha8kzf35kc5hplqk76kdufntjn6w45ntwlevwxp74dqr3rvsq7fazh"
rpc_url="your_own_rpc"


[[handlers]]
type = 'MultisigSigner'
chain_name = 'sui'
cosmwasm_contract = 'axelar14a4ar5jh7ue4wg28jwsspf23r8k68j7g5d6d3fsttrhp42ajn4xq6zayy5'
