Taking the time to run a practice valiator on palmito testnet before running a mainnet validator is highly recommended!

Note: This is a guide for setting up a Tellor public testnet validator / reporter. Care is taken to provide info on the tools being used, but testers should be comfortable with running experimental code via command line interface. A beginner’s understanding of the cosmos SDK is highly recommended!

Disclaimer: participation in the Tellor public testnet involves using experimental software. If used in a mainnet context, the commands in this documentation WILL have consequences for real funds. Proceed with caution and ensure that you understand the responsibilities and risks associated with participation.

Never operate Tellor Mainnet validators with the same keys that you use for operating Tellor Testnet validators. Signatures from testnets can be submitted as evidence of bad behavior on mainnet which results in slashing.
