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?

We started our testnet with the goal of onboarding 64 validators. The sign-up form for these first 64 slots has been closed.

We have now expanded the Union testnet to support 128 validators. Those interested can submit their Union address to the Subo Survey Bot on our Discord to have a chance of being selected as a validator and receiving tokens from the Union team. The Subo “Union Testnet Validator Intake Form” closed on February 19th, 2024.

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?

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?

We are not currently providing the general public access to our GitHub repositories.
