Saga

Prerequisites

1. Install Go (version ≥ 1.19) Download and install Go from https://golang.org/dl/.

2. Install Git Install Git to clone repositories.

Step 1: Install Saga CLI

1. Clone the Saga repository:

   git clone https://github.com/saga-protocol/saga.git
   cd saga

2. Build the CLI:

   make install

   After successful installation, verify the version:

   sagad version

---

Step 2: Configure the CLI for Testnet

1. Initialize the configuration:

   sagad init <your-node-name> --chain-id=saga-testnet

2. Add the Saga testnet configuration: Download the genesis.json:

   curl -O https://docs.saga.xyz/testnet/genesis.json
   mv genesis.json ~/.sagad/config/

3. Set seeds and peers: Edit config.toml:

   nano ~/.sagad/config/config.toml

   Add the following in the persistent_peers section:

   persistent_peers = "<peer-list>"

4. Configure minimum-gas-prices: Open app.toml:

   nano ~/.sagad/config/app.toml

   Set:

   minimum-gas-prices = "0.025usaga"

---

Step 3: Start the Node

Run the node:

sagad start

If successful, the node begins syncing with the testnet.

---

Step 4: Create a Wallet

1. Generate a wallet:

   sagad keys add <wallet-name>

   Save the mnemonic securely.

2. Retrieve your wallet address:

   sagad keys show <wallet-name> -a

3. Request testnet tokens: Use a faucet (check https://faucet.saga.xyz or similar sources).

---

Step 5: Perform Transactions

1. Check your balance:

   sagad query bank balances <wallet-address>

2. Send tokens:

   sagad tx bank send <your-address> <recipient-address> 100000usaga --chain-id=saga-testnet --fees=5000usaga

---

Step 6: Query Network Information

1. Check the latest block:

   sagad query block

2. Query transaction history:

   sagad query txs --events 'message.sender=<wallet-address>'

---

Troubleshooting

• Logs: Check logs in real-time:

  tail -f ~/.sagad/logs/sagad.log

• Sync Issues: Ensure the node is fully synced before performing transactions:

  sagad status
