Chain Identity (Verified Live)
Every parameter below was queried from the live chain on the day this page was published. None are forward-looking statements; they are operating values right now.
| Chain ID | ltrst-chain-1 |
|---|---|
| Chain Registry name | ltrstchain |
| Network | Mainnet — live since 2026-04-11 |
| Native denom | ultrst (1 LTRST = 1,000,000 ultrst) |
| Total supply | 221,000,000 LTRST (fixed, hard-capped at genesis) |
| Inflation | 0% — no mint module emission. Validators earn from transaction fees and the pre-funded staking-rewards pool. |
| Bech32 prefix | ltrst · ltrstvaloper · ltrstvalcons |
| Daemon | ltrstchaind |
| Node home | $HOME/.ltrstchain |
| SLIP-0044 | 118 (Cosmos standard) |

| CosmWasm | Disabled (Phase 1) |
Staking & Governance Parameters
| Max active validators | 100 |
|---|---|
| Min commission rate | 5.0% (chain-enforced floor) |
| Unbonding period | 14 days (1,209,600 s) |
| Max unbonding entries | 7 |
| Voting period | 48 hours (172,800 s) |
| Gov proposal min deposit | 10,000 LTRST |
| Min gas price (low / avg / high) | 0.01 / 0.025 / 0.04 ultrst |
| Pre-funded staking-rewards pool | 55,250,000 LTRST (25% of supply, distributed via x/distribution proportionally to bonded stake) |
Technical Requirements
Recommended Hardware
Specs below mirror the configuration we run for our own genesis validator and represent a comfortable margin for current network load. Validators may run heavier setups at their discretion.
| CPU | 4 cores (Intel Cascadelake or comparable, 2.5 GHz+) |
|---|---|
| RAM | 8 GB |
| Storage | 200 GB SSD (NVMe preferred) |
| Network | 1 Gbps, public IPv4, low-latency to a tier-1 carrier |
| OS | Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or Debian 12 (other Linux distros at validator's risk) |
| Go toolchain | Go 1.25+ |

Build & Sync
# 1. Clone the chain source (Apache 2.0) git clone https://github.com/Larrytrustee/ltrst-chain-l1.git cd ltrst-chain-l1 make build # produces build/ltrstchaind # 2. Initialize the node, fetch genesis, set the persistent seed, and sync ./build/ltrstchaind init <your-moniker> --chain-id ltrst-chain-1 curl -sL https://chain.larrytrustee.ai/trpc/genesis | jq '.result.genesis' \ > ~/.ltrstchain/config/genesis.json sed -i 's|^seeds *=.*|seeds = "948731cf3500d931757ec5cc312496b9a5e3719b@45.32.222.33:26656"|' \ ~/.ltrstchain/config/config.toml ./build/ltrstchaind start
Or use the idempotent bootstrap script that does all of the above for Ubuntu 22.04 / Debian 12 in one step:
sudo ./join-node.sh --moniker my-validator-name
The script produces a synced full node, configures systemd for auto-restart, and prints the exact create-validator command to run when you are ready to bond. Source on GitHub: join-node.sh.
Becoming an Active Validator
After your node is fully synced, fund a validator wallet with enough LTRST for self-delegation, then submit a MsgCreateValidator transaction:
./build/ltrstchaind tx staking create-validator \ --amount=<self-delegation>ultrst \ --pubkey=$(./build/ltrstchaind tendermint show-validator) \ --moniker=<your-moniker> \ --chain-id=ltrst-chain-1 \ --commission-rate=<0.05–1.0> \ --commission-max-rate=1.0 \ --commission-max-change-rate=0.05 \ --min-self-delegation=1 \ --from=<your-key-name> \ --gas=auto --gas-adjustment=1.3 --fees=5000ultrst \ --node=http://127.0.0.1:26657
Once the transaction lands, your validator appears in the active set and starts signing blocks. Commission rate must be at least 5% (the chain-enforced floor). You may set up to 100% but must declare a commission-max-change-rate at validator creation; it cannot be raised later.
Validator Categories & Targets
Phase 1 target is 10 active validators. The slot allocation:
Slot 1 — Genesis
Currently filled by LTRST Mainnet Validator 01 (operator ltrstvaloper14jypsve…) — the bootstrap node operated by LarryTrustee.AI Inc.
Slots 2–4 — Professional Services
Established Cosmos validator businesses (Forbole, Lavender.Five, Polkachu, Cosmostation, etc.). Onboarded by direct outreach with a validator agreement and a delegation from the LarryTrustee.AI ecosystem allocation.
Slots 5–7 — Independent Operators
Mid-tier independent validators that operate nodes on multiple Cosmos chains for ecosystem support. Recruited through the gentx-style application process below.
Slots 8–10 — Community Validators
LTRST community members and early supporters who want to operate a validator. Open application, with a hardware-and-uptime probationary review.
Apply to Validate
Submit the form below and we will respond within 5 business days with next steps. The form is end-to-end encrypted in transit; we do not share validator applicant information with third parties.
