git clone https://github.com/deep-thought-labs/infinite.git

cd infinite

git switch migration

make install

Purpose: Compiles and installs the infinited binary.

Estimated time: 2–5 minutes (depending on dependencies)

If an error occurs during compilation, install the required packages and rebuild:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev

cd ~/infinite
make clean
make install

The binary will be installed at:
$HOME/go/bin/infinited

Make sure $HOME/go/bin is included in your system PATH.

# Add to PATH (add this to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc)
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin

# Verify
which infinited
infinited version

# Expected output:
# infinite
# infinited version 0.1.9-...

For Mainnet:

infinited init my-moniker --recover --chain-id infinite_421018-1 --home ~/.infinited

Note: The chain ID may be automatically updated by customize_genesis.sh,
but you should still use the correct initial chain ID for consistency.

Replace the chain ID below if you are setting up for Testnet or Creative:

# Testnet
--chain-id infinite_421018001-1 

# Creative
--chain-id infinite_421018002-1

This command creates a base genesis file using Cosmos SDK defaults (later customized in the next step).

⚠️ Required: The generated genesis uses Cosmos SDK default values.
You must apply Infinite Drive-specific customization.

Mainnet:

# Run from the infinite root directory
./scripts/customize_genesis.sh ~/.infinited/config/genesis.json --network mainnet

For Testnet or Creative, replace --network accordingly:

# Testnet
--network testnet

# Creative
--network creative

This script performs:

• ✅ Sets denom for all modules to the correct network denomination
• ✅ Adds full token metadata
• ✅ Configures EVM precompiles and ERC20 pairs
• ✅ Sets consensus, staking, mint, governance, slashing, fee market, and distribution parameters
• ✅ Automatically backs up genesis

Configuration file paths:

• Mainnet: scripts/genesis-configs/mainnet.json
• Testnet: scripts/genesis-configs/testnet.json
• Creative: scripts/genesis-configs/creative.json

These files define all network parameters such as denominations, token metadata, staking, minting, governance, slashing, and consensus settings.

⚠️ Proceed only if you already have a mnemonic securely stored.

infinited keys add validator --recover --keyring-backend file --home ~/.infinited

You may replace validator with any preferred account name.

# Add the account to genesis with initial balance (example: 100 tokens)
infinited genesis add-genesis-account validator 100000000000000000000drop \
  --keyring-backend file \
  --home ~/.infinited

Amount: 100000000000000000000drop = 100 Improbability (100 × 10¹⁸)

Always use atomic units (10¹⁸) and include the correct denomination suffix (drop, tdrop, or cdrop).

# Testnet
tdrop

# Creative
cdrop

Mainnet:

# Create a gentx for the validator (example: self-delegate 1 token)
infinited genesis gentx validator 1000000000000000000drop \
  --chain-id infinite_421018-1 \
  --commission-rate "0.10" \
  --commission-max-rate "0.20" \
  --commission-max-change-rate "0.01" \
  --min-self-delegation "1000000000000000000" \
  --keyring-backend file \
  --home ~/.infinited

For Testnet and Creative, replace denominations and chain IDs as follows:

# Testnet
1000000000000000000tdrop
--chain-id infinite_421018001-1

# Creative
1000000000000000000cdrop
--chain-id infinite_421018002-1
--commission-rate "0.01" \
--commission-max-rate "0.05" \

Parameters:

• validator: Account name (must exist in keyring and have funds in genesis)
• Amount: Self-delegation amount
  • Mainnet: 1000000000000000000drop
  • Testnet: 1000000000000000000tdrop
  • Creative: 1000000000000000000cdrop
• --chain-id: Must match the chain ID used during initialization
• --commission-rate: Initial commission rate (e.g., 10% = “0.10”)
• --commission-max-rate: Maximum commission rate (e.g., 20% = “0.20”)
• --commission-max-change-rate: Max rate change per update (e.g., 1% = “0.01”)
• --min-self-delegation: Minimum self-delegation (atomic units)

infinited genesis collect-gentxs --home ~/.infinited

⚠️ Important:

• The chain requires at least one validator in genesis to start producing blocks.
• If you skip this, the chain will start but not produce blocks.
• All validators must use the same --chain-id.

infinited genesis validate-genesis --home ~/.infinited

This checks:

• ✅ Consistency of denominations
• ✅ Total supply matches sum of all balances
• ✅ Validator configuration is valid
• ✅ JSON structure is correct

The finalized genesis.json must be distributed to all nodes before network launch.

scp ~/.infinited/config/genesis.json user@validator1:/path/to/.infinited/config/
scp ~/.infinited/config/genesis.json user@validator2:/path/to/.infinited/config/

⚠️ Important:
All nodes must use exactly the same genesis.json file.
Even a minor difference can cause a network fork.

Mainnet

infinited start \
  --chain-id infinite_421018-1 \
  --evm.evm-chain-id 421018 \
  --home ~/.infinited

Testnet

infinited start \
  --chain-id infinite_421018001-1 \
  --evm.evm-chain-id 421018001 \
  --home ~/.infinited

Creative

infinited start \
  --chain-id infinite_421018002-1 \
  --evm.evm-chain-id 421018002 \
  --home ~/.infinited

Always specify both IDs:

• --chain-id: Cosmos chain ID (format: {name}_{number}-{version})
• --evm.evm-chain-id: EVM chain ID (integer, EIP-155 standard)
