Obtain binaries
Depending on which network you want to join you have to obtain the binaries differently.
- Mainnet
- Kaon
- Korellia
For mainnet the binaries have to be build manually.
Install Go
KYVE is built using Go version 1.20+.
Follow the instructions from the official website to install go.
go version # e.g. go version go1.20.1 linux/amd64
In addition to Go, make sure you have git and make installed.
Clone and build KYVE using git:
git clone https://github.com/KYVENetwork/chain.git
cd chain
git fetch
git checkout tags/<tag>
make build ENV=mainnet
Here the <tag> is the latest version which you can get here.
Note: You can find the compiled binary under chain/build/kyved
After the download was done, verify that it was successful:
./kyved version
For Kaon the binaries have to be build manually.

Korellia does not follow any release schedule. Usually it's in sync with the latest
stable release branch and it uses the kaon build environment.
Here is a list for every supported OS with the current version v1.4.0
linux/amd64
wget https://github.com/KYVENetwork/chain/releases/download/v1.5.0/kyved_kaon_linux_amd64
chmod +x kyved_kaon_linux_amd64
linux/arm64
wget https://github.com/KYVENetwork/chain/releases/download/v1.5.0/kyved_kaon_linux_arm64
chmod +x kyved_kaon_linux_arm64
darwin/amd64
wget https://github.com/KYVENetwork/chain/releases/download/v1.5.0/kyved_kaon_darwin_amd64
chmod +x kyved_kaon_darwin_amd64
darwin/arm64
wget https://github.com/KYVENetwork/chain/releases/download/v1.5.0/kyved_kaon_darwin_arm64
chmod +x kyved_kaon_darwin_arm64
After the installation is done, verify that it was successful:
./kyved version
Initialize Node
We need to initialize the node to create all the necessary validator and node configuration files
- Mainnet
- Kaon
- Korellia
We recommend saving the chain-id into your kyved's client.toml. This will make it so you do not have to manually pass in the chain-id flag for every CLI command.
./kyved config chain-id kyve-1
Initialize node by providing your moniker and the chain id
./kyved init <your_custom_moniker> --chain-id kyve-1
IMPORTANT: Monikers can contain only ASCII characters. Using Unicode characters will render your node unreachable.
