This keeps to the official flow: build dymd, fetch the genesis and seeds, select mainnet or testnet, then start and monitor sync.

​
Prerequisites

  • Linux with Go toolchain.
  • Open typical Cosmos ports (26656 p2p, 26657 RPC, 1317 REST, 9090 gRPC) as needed.

​
1) Build dymd

git clone https://github.com/dymensionxyz/dymension.git --branch v3.2.0
cd dymension
make install
dymd version --long
If dymd isn’t on your PATH: 
export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

​
2) Initialize

dymd init mynode --chain-id dymension_1100-1

​
3) Genesis & seeds

  • Download the genesis.json and seed nodes from the “Join a network” page, then place the files here:
# genesis
cp /path/to/genesis.json ~/.dymension/config/genesis.json

# seeds (comma-separated) into app.toml / config.toml as instructed

​
4) Start & monitor

dymd start
# In another terminal:
dymd status | jq .SyncInfo
Sync is complete when catching_up becomes false and the latest block height matches public explorers.

​
5) (Optional) Snapshot

To accelerate sync, use a trusted snapshot (community-provided) and ensure ~/.dymension/data is emptied beforehand, then restart the node.

​
Notes

  • Mainnet chain-id: dymension_1100-1.
  • After you’re fully synced, you can proceed to validator creation separately.
