+
+Instructions for running a laconicd testnet full node and joining as a validator
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+* Minimum hardware requirements:
+
+  ```bash
+  RAM: 8-16GB
+  Disk space: 200GB
+  CPU: 2 cores
+  ```
+
+* Testnet genesis file (file or an URL) and peer node addresses
+
+## Setup
+
+* Clone the stack repo:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so fetch-stack git.vdb.to/cerc-io/testnet-laconicd-stack
+  ```
+
+* Clone required repositories:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/laconicd-full-node setup-repositories
+  ```
+
+* Build the container images:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/laconicd-full-node build-containers
+  ```
+
+  This should create the following docker images locally:
+
+  * `cerc/laconic2d`
+
+## Create a deployment
+
+* Create a spec file for the deployment:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/laconicd-full-node deploy init --output laconic-full-node-spec.yml
+  ```
+
+* Edit `network` in the spec file to map container ports to host ports as required:
+
+  ```bash
+  ...
+  network:
+    ports:
+      laconicd:
+        - '6060:6060'
+        - '26657:26657'
+        - '26656:26656'
+        - '9473:9473'
+        - '9090:9090'
+        - '1317:1317'
+  ```
+
+* Create a deployment from the spec file:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/laconicd-full-node deploy create --spec-file  laconic-full-node-spec.yml --deployment-dir laconic-full-node-deployment
+  ```
+
+* Copy over the published testnet genesis file (`.json`) to data directory in deployment (`laconic-full-node-deployment/data/laconicd-data/tmp`):
+
+  ```bash
+  # Example
+  mkdir -p laconic-full-node-deployment/data/laconicd-data/tmp
+  cp genesis.json laconic-full-node-deployment/data/laconicd-data/tmp/genesis.json
+  ```
+
+## Configuration
+
+* Inside the deployment directory, open `config.env` file and set following env variables:
+
+  ```bash
+  # Comma separated list of nodes to keep persistent connections to
+  # Example: "node-1-id@node-1-host:26656,node-2-id@node-2-host:26656"
+  CERC_PEERS=""
+
+  # Optional
+
+  # A custom human readable name for this node (default: TestnetNode)
+  CERC_MONIKER=
+
+  # Network chain ID (default: laconic_9000-1)
+  CERC_CHAIN_ID=
+
+  # Output log level (default: info)
+  CERC_LOGLEVEL=
+  ```
+
+## Start the deployment
+
+```bash
+laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment start
+```
+
+## Check status
+
+* To list down and monitor the running containers:
+
+  ```bash
+  # With status
+  docker ps -a
+
+  # Follow logs for laconicd container
+  laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment logs laconicd -f
+  ```
+
+* Check the sync status of your node:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd status | jq .sync_info"
+
+  # `catching_up: false` indicates that node is completely synced
+  ```
+
+## Join as testnet validator
+
+* Create / import a new key pair:
+
+  ```bash
+  # Create new keypair
+  laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd keys add <key-name>"
+
+  # OR
+  # Restore existing key with mnemonic seed phrase
+  # You will be prompted to enter mnemonic seed
+  laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd keys add <key-name> --recover"
+
+  # Query the keystore for your account's address
+  laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd keys show <key-name> -a"
+  ```
+
+* Request tokens from the testnet faucet for your account if required
+
+* Check balance for your account:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd query bank balances <key-name>"
+  ```
+
+* Create required validator configuration:
+
+  ```bash
+  # Edit the staking amount and other fields as required
+  laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment exec laconicd 'cat <<EOF > <your-node-moniker>-validator.json
+  {
+    "pubkey": $(laconicd cometbft show-validator),
+    "amount": "900000000photon",
+    "moniker": "<your-node-moniker>",
+    "commission-rate": "0.1",
+    "commission-max-rate": "0.2",
+    "commission-max-change-rate": "0.01",
+    "min-self-delegation": "1"
+  }
+  EOF'
+  ```
+
+* Create a validator:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment exec laconicd 'laconicd tx staking create-validator <your-node-moniker>-validator.json \
+  --fees 50photon \
+  --chain-id=laconic_9000-1 \
+  --from <key-name>'
+  ```
+
+* View your staking validator details:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd query staking validator <key-name>"
+  ```
+
+## Clean up
+
+* Stop all services running in the background:
+
+  ```bash
+  # Stop the docker containers
+  laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment stop
+  ```
+
+* To stop all services and also delete data:
+
+  ```bash
+  # Stop the docker containers
+  laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment stop --delete-volumes
+
+  # Remove deployment directory (deployment will have to be recreated for a re-run)
+  rm -r laconic-full-node-deployment
+  ```
