Validator is Jailed

Last update: Dcember 4, 2023

Jailed Validator🔗︎

If you see your validator in this state in explorer, here's how to fix it.

  • First and most important thing, open the screen or tmux where your node was running an see WHY your node crashed. If you can't figure it out, you are welcome to join Discord and we'll try to solve it together.
  • Once the issue has been solved, restart your node and wait for it to reach the latest block height.
  • When a validator gets jailed, there is a 6 hours cool-down period.
  • Once your node is running, has synced to latest block height and 6 hours have passed since you got jailed, you can run this command:
stchaind tx slashing unjail \
--from=st1xxxx \
--chain-id=stratos-1 \
--keyring-backend=file \
--gas=auto \
--gas-adjustment=1.5 \
--gas-prices=1000000000wei

Replace st1xxx with your wallet (shown in your validator page under Self-Delegate Address)
