Frequently Asked Questions

As we continue onboarding validators and expanding the testnet, we’ll populate this page with FAQs in regard to becoming a validator on the Union Testnet.

How can I become a validator?

The Union testnet validator set is currently proof-of-authority, mirroring the mainnet configuration. We are not actively seeking new validators at this time.

Why can’t I submit transactions to localhost when using docker run?

Ensure you have exposed your host machine’s network via the --network flag in docker.

My query commands aren’t using values from my client config? (uniond v0.25.0 and lower)

Due to an issue in the cosmos-sdk, commands using AutoCLI do not respect the --home flag and instead always try and read the default home. As a temporary fix, we’ve removed the behavior reading the default home, always require a --home flag, and moved all tx commands away from AutoCLI. However, query commands still use AutoCLI and won’t read the --home flag.

To get around this behavior, we suggest always supplying --node and --chain-id when using query commands.

Can I have access to the Union GitHub repository?

You can find the Union monorepo at unionlabs/union
