Install the software
⚠️ If you already have an existing Tezos installation, do not forget to backup and delete your ~/.tezos-node and ~/.tezos-client.
Alternative: Use docker
To join Qenanet with docker, open a shell in the container:
docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/sh ghcr.io/tez-capital/tezos:testnet
Alternative: Build the software
⚠️ If this is your first time installing Tezos, you may need to install a few dependencies.
cd
git clone git@gitlab.com:tezos/tezos.git
cd tezos
git checkout testnet
opam init # if this is your first time using OPAM
make build-deps
eval $(opam env)
make
export PATH=$HOME/tezos:$PATH
Join the Qenanet network
Run the following commands:
octez-node config init --network https://teztnets.com/qenanet
Recover from a snapshot
wget -O snapshot_file https://snapshots.tzinit.org/qenanet/rolling
octez-node snapshot import snapshot_file
Run the node
Use the following command:
octez-node run --rpc-addr 127.0.0.1:8732
Data Availability Layer
This network is running Data Availability Layer nodes.
The DAL nodes are accessible with the following endpoints:
| RPC | P2P Endpoint | |
|---|---|---|
| DAL Bootstrap | Link | dal.qenanet.teztnets.com:11732 |
| DAL Teztnets Attester | Link | dal1.qenanet.teztnets.com:11732 |

Bake on the Qenanet network
To improve reliability of the chain, you can take part in the consensus by becoming a baker. In that case, you will need some test tokens from the faucet.
If you are not a bootstrap baker, you need to register your key as a delegate using your alias or pkh. For instance:
octez-client register key mykey as delegate
On a modern Tezos network, you will need to stake to declare your security bond. You will need to have access to at least 6000tz of stake to get baking rights. For instance:
octez-client stake <amount> for mykey
You may now launch the baker process.
octez-baker-PsQ3NAxQ run with local node ~/.tezos-node mykey --liquidity-baking-toggle-vote pass
You may run the accuser as well:
octez-accuser-PsQ3NAxQ run
Note that you need a minimum amount of tez to get baking rights. If you are not a bootstrap baker, it will take you several cycles to start baking.
💡 Now that you are baking, you are responsible for the network health. Please ensure that the baking processes will keep running in the background. You may want to use screen, tmux, nohup or systemd. Also make sure that the baking processes will restart when your machine restarts.
