After creating your first node (which will be the proposer) you will need to hit the genesis endpoint of the node.
GET http://0.0.0.0:26657/genesis
Make sure to replace with the proper proposer IP
Return Will Look As Follows

}Download the sonrd binary and run the init command to create the following files
You can also copy app.toml, client.toml, config.toml & genesis.json from the proposer node as a secondary choice.
The files go as follows:
1. addrbook.json
2. app.toml
3. client.toml
4. config.toml
5. genesis.json
6. node_key.json
7. priv_validator_key.jsonInstall Tendermint Tendermint Installation
Follow creation of validator node via Documentation Tendermint Validator Documentation
Run Initialization of Validator
tendermint init validatorUse the files created from .tendermint/config/genesis.json and copy the validator array into the proposer node via the genesis.json file
Grab the Node ID from the proposer
./sonrd tendermint show-node-idHead to line 188 in config.toml
The peer structure is the node ID @ IP of validator node and port. Example below
[email protected]:26656
Make sure to add the proper IP address of the validator node
Follow the same steps as above, head to the genesis.json file on the validator node, copy the genesis.json file from the proposer node and paste into the file.
Follow the same steps, use the node ID from the proposer node and paste NODE_ID:IP:PORT into line 188 on coonfig.toml
./sonrd startYou should see the validator start to catch up to the proposer node and start validating new blocks!
