Hi dear Namada CREW members! I know that may hurt when you don’t know what to do so feel free to use this guide to operate as CREW member in Namada shielded expedition.
The information is taken from official Namada documentation.
We are working on hosting our RPC for you right now so you won’t need to synchronize directly with Namada SE chain, until that — please use VPS providers such as Hetzner, Vultr or anything else you like.
First you need to run (rent VPS on Hetzner/Vultr with Ubuntu 22.04) a full node and import your wallet

You can import your wallet from the namada extension. In the future, remember to use the --memo flag when sending each transaction
namadaw derive --alias <walletname>
enter password
same enter password
BIP39 (empty for skip)
