Soft Reset Instructions

Typically required when node is (re-)joining the network and the node tip is close to the network tip. When a soft reset is needed for the node, update the forkpoint.toml (changes every round), validators.toml (changes every epoch) and restart as follows.

Instructions​

  1. SSH into the node as monad user
  2. Stop monad-related services 
    systemctl stop monad-bft monad-execution monad-rpc
  3. Fetch new forkpoint.toml and validators.toml. 
    MF_BUCKET=https://bucket.monadinfra.com
    curl -sSL $MF_BUCKET/scripts/testnet/download-forkpoint.sh | bash
    curl -o ~/monad-bft/config/validators/validators.toml $MF_BUCKET/validators/testnet/validators.toml
  4. Start monad-related services 
    systemctl start monad-bft monad-execution monad-rpc
  5. Verify the systemd services are running: 
    systemctl list-units --type=service monad-bft.service monad-execution.service monad-rpc.service
    UNIT                    LOAD   ACTIVE SUB     DESCRIPTION                       
    monad-bft.service       loaded active running "Service file for Monad BFT"
    monad-execution.service loaded active running "Service file for Monad Execution"
    monad-rpc.service       loaded active running "Service file for Monad RPC"
    

    # Check logs for a specific process, e.g. bft
    journalctl -u monad-bft
