  1. First of all you have to backup your configuration files on your old validator node located in ~/.ag0/config/
  2. Set up new VPS
  3. Stop service and disable daemon on old validator node

sudo systemctl stop agoricd

sudo systemctl disable agoricd

(Be sure that your ag-chain-cosmos is not running on the old machine. If it is, you will be slashed for double-signing.)

  1. Use guide for validator node setup - Validator Guide for Incentivized Testnet

  1. Make sure your validator is not jailed

To unjail use this guide - How do I unjail my validator?
