+## Prerequisites
+
+**Run a Full Node**: Make sure you have followed the [Full Node Cheat Sheet](./full_node_cheatsheet.md) to install and run a Full Node first.

+if you're running a full node using the [Full Node Cheat Sheet](./full_node_cheatsheet.md), you can can switch to
+the user you created in the full node setup to get access to the `poktrolld` CLI. Like this:
+
+```bash
+su - poktroll # or a different user if you used a different name
+```

+### Create and Fund the Validator Account
+
+Create a new key pair for the validator:
+
+```bash
+poktrolld keys add validator
+```
+
+This will generate a new address and mnemonic. **Save the mnemonic securely**.
+
+Set the validator address in an environment variable for convenience:
+
+```bash
+export VALIDATOR_ADDR=$(poktrolld keys show validator -a)
+```
+
+Fund the validator account using [the faucet](../../explore/tools.md) or by transferring tokens from another account.
+
+Check the balance:
+
+```bash
+poktrolld query bank balances $VALIDATOR_ADDR
+```
+
+## Get the Validator's PubKey
+
+To get the validator's public key, run:
+
+```bash
+poktrolld comet show-validator
+```
+
+This will output something like:
+
+```json
+{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"YdlQyhjtrq9pk7afmz6oQ275L4FElzjzEJvB1fj3e1w="}
+```
+
+Copy the entire output; you will need it in the next step.
+
+## Create the Validator JSON File
+
+Create a JSON file named `validator.json` with the following content:
+
+```json
+{
+  "pubkey": {"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"YdlQyhjtrq9pk7afmz6oQ275L4FElzjzEJvB1fj3e1w="},
+  "amount": "1000000upokt",
+  "moniker": "YourValidatorName",
+  "identity": "",
+  "website": "",
+  "security": "",
+  "details": "",
+  "commission-rate": "0.100000000000000000",
+  "commission-max-rate": "0.200000000000000000",
+  "commission-max-change-rate": "0.010000000000000000",
+  "min-self-delegation": "1"
+}
+```
+
+- Replace the `"pubkey"` value with the output from `poktrolld comet show-validator`.
+- Update the `"amount"` field with the amount you wish to stake (e.g., `"1000000upokt"`).
+- Set the `"moniker"` to your validator's name.
+- You can optionally fill in `"identity"`, `"website"`, `"security"`, and `"details"`.
+
+## Create the Validator
 
-## Introduction
+Run the following command to create the validator:
 
-This guide will help you install a Validator on Pocket Network,
-**using helpers that abstract out some of the underlying complexity.**
+```bash
+poktrolld tx staking create-validator ./validator.json --from=validator --chain-id=pocket-beta --gas=auto --gas-adjustment=1.5 --gas-prices=1upokt
+```
 
-### Pre-Requisites
+This command uses the `validator.json` file to submit the `create-validator` transaction.
 
-1. **Run a Full Node**: Make sure you have followed the [Full Node Cheat Sheet](../quickstart/full_node_cheatsheet.md) to install and run a Full Node first
+**Example**:
+
+```bash
+poktrolld tx staking create-validator ./validator.json --from=validator --chain-id=pocket-beta --gas=auto --gas-prices=1upokt --gas-adjustment=1.5
+```
+
+## Verify the Validator Status
+
+You can verify the status of your validator by running:
+
+```bash
+poktrolld query staking validator $VALIDATOR_ADDR
+```
+
+This will display information about your validator, including its status and delegation.
+
+## Additional Commands
+
+- **Delegate additional tokens to your validator**:
+
+  ```bash
+  poktrolld tx staking delegate $VALIDATOR_ADDR 1000000upokt --from your_account --chain-id=pocket-beta --gas=auto --gas-adjustment=1.5 --gas-prices=1upokt
+  ```
+
+- **Unbond (undelegate) tokens from your validator**:
+
+  ```bash
+  poktrolld tx staking unbond $VALIDATOR_ADDR 500000upokt --from your_account --chain-id=pocket-beta --gas=auto --gas-adjustment=1.5 --gas-prices=1upokt
+  ```
+
+- **Withdraw rewards**:
+
+  ```bash
+  poktrolld tx distribution withdraw-rewards $VALIDATOR_ADDR --commission --from validator --chain-id=pocket-beta --gas=auto --gas-adjustment=1.5 --gas-prices=1upokt
+  ```
+
+- **Check validator's commission and rewards**:
+
+  ```bash
+  poktrolld query distribution commission $VALIDATOR_ADDR
+  poktrolld query distribution rewards $VALIDATOR_ADDR
+  ```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Ensure your node is fully synced before attempting to create the validator.
+- Keep your mnemonic and private keys secure.
+- Adjust the `"amount"` in `validator.json` and delegation amounts according to your available balance.
+- The `commission-rate`, `commission-max-rate`, and `commission-max-change-rate` are expressed as decimal numbers (e.g., `0.1` for 10%).
