Seda Testnet

SEDA is a multichainnative data transmission protocol built on a decentralized foundation. It has security guarantees consistent with the blockchains it interacts with facilitated by time-tested cryptography, strong backstops, and a high degree of configurability and computability.

Download and build binaries

# Clone project repository
cd $HOME
rm -rf seda-chain
git clone https://github.com/sedaprotocol/seda-chain.git
cd seda-chain
git checkout v0.1.7

# Build binaries
make build

# Prepare binaries for Cosmovisor
mkdir -p $HOME/.sedad/cosmovisor/genesis/bin
mv build/sedad $HOME/.sedad/cosmovisor/genesis/bin/
