Join the staking network

Network update - 2026-09-13

The old main-stake network is retired. These steps now target aphelion-solid (denom libocoin, 1 LBY = 1,000,000 libocoin). For a fast start, restore the latest snapshot listed at https://explorer.cannonkaze.com/snapshot/latest.json instead of syncing from genesis.

You can run the daemon service, synchronize with staking layer and interact with the hain through CLI.

⚠️ This documentation is currently under revision. Rest of the sections with complete details will be available soon.

Assuming you have already installed cusp, you will be able to carry out the below process system wide.

The chain that you are trying to connect to should be aphelion-solid unless the development team. allows the access to other networking channels of Aphelion protocol. On aphelion-solid channel only staking related activities are allowed and you will not be able to interact with AI layer and other hybrid channels of Aphelion protocol. If you want to understand Aphelion protocol, head over to our Whitepaper .

Manual Setup

For fresh setup of your mainnet node, download the latest genesis file of aphelion-solid (sha256 below), or restore the snapshot from https://explorer.cannonkaze.com/snapshot/latest.json, and carry out the below process

Remember : Checksum for genesis.json is

b542709aa07660200baffd342a57f2962809042dee3e8d1407bfb2c142f1c18a

You need to run the unsafe command which will reset any previous data and will make required directories in the home location

cuspd unsafe-reset-all

Now you need to copy the aphelion-solid genesis file into config directory or move your genesis file to the config path.

cp -i /path/to/genesis.json ~/.cuspd/config/mv genesis.json $HOME/.cuspd/config

As your node doesn't know from where it could fetch the blocks, you need to add some seeds. You can do that by editing the config file. Within config.toml file, in the section [p2p] edit line#171 persistent_peers and add the peers given below in comma separated form, save and exit the config

"019d7d516a816fb3a6161cabfc53580a4d8205e3@159.195.114.30:30656"

Remember

If these peers dont work, you can reach our github or check out the latest peer list from development team

Run a Full Node

You can run your full node by the following command

 cuspd start

If you want to check the status of your node, run

cuspd status
