The canonical validator onboarding guide is maintained at
docs.litho.ai. Its source is
content/docs/testnet/validators.mdx
in this repository.
The repository-hosted companion guide for applications, approval stages, commission/stake planning, and the September 2026 cohort is LITHO mainnet validator onboarding.
Use the network table in that guide before running any command. The current
production network is LITHO Mainnet with Cosmos chain ID
lithosphere_9005-1 and EVM chain ID 9005; older examples using 700777
refer to Makalu and must not be used for mainnet.
