As a validator in the active set, you will be required to use the Oracle Price Feeder to submit prices.
git clone https://github.com/Team-Kujira/oracle-price-feeder.git
cd oracle-price-feeder
make installStart by copying the default configuration file. This will add price feeds for ATOM (the first exchange rate supported by the price-feeder).
This config also contains default values for gas_price and gas_adjustment
cp config.example.toml config.toml
[[currency_pairs]]
base = "ATOM"
providers = [
"binance",
"kraken",
"coinbase",
]
quote = "USD"
NOTE: It is important that currency pairs in this config exactly match those in the currently configured whitelist for the chain:
You can also query the oracle params using kujirad
kujirad query oracle params
It is possible to overwrite default provider endpoints (e.g. to point to an alternate mirror) by specifying them in [[provider_endpoints]].
[[provider_endpoints]]
name = "binance"
rest = "https://api.binance.us"
websocket = "stream.binance.us:9443"
The price-feeder submits transactions on behalf of your validator that contain prices of specified denoms. The feeder account will need enough funding to pay for gas for these automatic vote transactions perpetually. Due to how this is performed by price-feeder, it's highly recommended to use a delegate feeder account rather than the validator account as the feeder wallet key is potentially more exposed.
[account]
address = "kujira...." # feeder wallet address
chain_id = "<harpoon-4/kaiyo-1>"
validator = "kujiravaloper...." # validator address
prefix = "kujira"
Ensure the validator address is set to your validator address.
Ensure that address is set to the address of your feeder wallet. By default this is the same as the kujira address for your validator key, however it's likely that you'll want to set a delegate feeder account to your validator so that you can run price-feeder on a separate user account or separate server, with different keys.
To set a delegate:
kujirad tx oracle set-feeder kujira1243.....
Depending on your infrastructure you may have a different preference for your keyring backend. If you are running price-feeder on a separate account or separate server, you can experiment with different keyring backends without any risk to your running validator - however, you risk corrupting your validator keys if you are not using a separate account or server for price-feeder (again, this configuration is not recommended)

# dir is ignored for os
dir = "/home/kuji/.kujira"Create a file keyring
kujirad keys add oracle
mkdir ~/.kujira/keyring-file
mv ~/.kujira/*.address ~/.kujira/*.info ~/.kujira/keyring-fileSet the password variable
export PRICE_FEEDER_PASS=<keyring_password>Update config.toml
[keyring]

And then set your passphrase to env
export PRICE_FEEDER_PASS=...
[keyring]
backend = "pass"
# dir is ignored for pass
dir = "/home/kuji/.kujira"If price-feeder is running on the same server as your node and your node is using default ports, the default RPC configuration should work.
If you are running a different node configuration, you may need to edit these RPC settings to match your infrastructure.
[rpc]
grpc_endpoint = "localhost:9090"
rpc_timeout = "100ms"
tmrpc_endpoint = "http://localhost:26657"
Telemetry is provided by the Cosmos SDK Telemetry module. To query metrics from a running price-feeder, pipe the output into jq
curl "http://localhost:7171/api/v1/metrics" | jq
To publish price-feeder metrics in prometheus format, the config.toml must include the prometheus_retention flag
Example Telemetry configuration block with Prometheus format enabled:
[telemetry]
enable_hostname = true
enable_hostname_label = true
enable_service_label = true
enabled = true
global_labels = [["chain_id", "kaiyo-1/harpoon-4"]]
service_name = "price-feeder"
type = "prometheus"
prometheus_retention = 120
Example scrape_config in Prometheus:
scrape_configs:
- job_name: price-feeder
metrics_path: '/api/v1/metrics'
params:
format: ['prometheus']
static_configs:
- targets:
- <price-feeder-IP-addr>:7171
labels: {}
Finally, start your price feeder
price-feeder config.toml
If everything is set up correctly, the process will start to collect prices, and shortly after will begin submitting votes:

You will likely also want to set up this price feeder as a system service. This will be the same process as setting up the chain core.
