This script helps you verify whether your Sidechain Public Key is registered on the Midnight Testnet for Validator.

Tested on:

Midnight Sidechain Node - Testnet - Version: 0.12.0-cab67f3b

The script performs the following steps:

1. ✅ Current Epoch Check
   Verifies if your Sidechain Public Key is registered in the current epoch.

2. 🕒 Future Epoch Check
   If not registered, it checks two epochs ahead to see if your validator is scheduled to be active soon.

3. ❌ No Registration Found
   If your key is not found in either check, it means registration has not gone through.

   

4. 📋 Validator Details (If Registered)
   If registered, it will print detailed validator metadata.

   

Use curl to download the script directly:

curl -O "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Midnight-Scripts/Check_Registration/refs/heads/main/check_registration.sh?token=GHSAT0AAAAAAC6QXCRDSGHHEBXFFQVX2B622BXVN6Q"

Make it executable:

chmod +x check_registration.sh

Run the script:

./check_registration.sh

Alternatively, you can clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/Midnight-Scripts/Check_Registration.git
cd Check_Registration
chmod +x check_registration.sh
./check_registration.sh

Make sure you have partner-chains-public-keys.json in the same directory as the script.

Your directory should look like this:

.
├── check_registration.sh
└── partner-chains-public-keys.json

The JSON file should contain your public keys in the following format:

{
  "sidechain_pub_key": "0x...",
  "aura_pub_key": "0x...",
  "grandpa_pub_key": "0x..."
}

• The script requires jq and curl to be installed.
• Make sure your node or environment can access:
  https://rpc.testnet-02.midnight.network
• Useful for confirming validator setup prior to an epoch.

Enjoy seamless validation checks!
