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

#install rust

`curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s -- -y`

`source $HOME/.cargo/env`

#install CometBft

`cd $HOME; mkdir cometbft`

`wget https://github.com/cometbft/cometbft/releases/download/v0.37.2/cometbft_0.37.2_linux_amd64.tar.gz`

`tar xvf cometbft_0.37.2_linux_amd64.tar.gz -C ./cometbft`

`chmod +x cometbft/cometbft`

`sudo mv cometbft/cometbft /usr/local/bin/`

`m -rf cometbft*`

#install pre-compiled Namada binaries - v0.31.0 (Ubuntu 22.04)

`mkdir -p $HOME/namada_bin`  
`cd $HOME/namada_bin`  
`wget -O namada.tar.gz https://github.com/anoma/namada/releases/download/v0.31.0/namada-v0.31.0-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz`  
`tar xvf namada.tar.gz`  
`cd namada-*`  
`sudo chmod +x namada namada[c,n,w]`  
`sudo mv namada /usr/local/bin/`  
`sudo mv namada[c,n,w] /usr/local/bin/`  
`cd $HOME && rm -rf $HOME/namada_bin`

`namada --version`  
output: namada v0.31.0

#or compile binaries yourself

```auto
git clone https://github.com/anoma/namada.git
cd namada
git checkout v0.31.0
make install
sudo chmod +x ~/.cargo/bin/namada*
sudo mv ~/.cargo/bin/namada* /usr/local/bin

```

#set variables  
CHAIN\_ID=“shielded-expedition.b40d8e9055”

`echo 'export CHAIN_ID='\"${CHAIN_ID}\" >> $HOME/.bash_profile`

#make variables permanent

`echo 'export CHAIN_ID='\"${CHAIN_ID}\" >> $HOME/.bash_profile`

`source $HOME/.bash_profile`

#check  
`cat ~/.bash_profile`

#initialize chain and working directory

`namada client utils join-network --chain-id $CHAIN_ID`

#add service file

```auto
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/namadad.service << EOF

```

#enable Namada service  
`sudo systemctl daemon-reload`  
`sudo systemctl start namadad.service && sudo systemctl enable namadad.service`

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)  
enter mnemonic

#check logs  
`sudo journalctl -u namadad.service -fn 50 -o cat`

#full node status (if u don`t use standard port 26657, change to a right one) `curl localhost:26657/status | jq`

#sync status (false = node synced)  
`curl -s localhost:26657/status | jq .result.sync_info.catching_up`

#delegate to validator cryptomolot  
`namadac bond --source <walletname> --validator tnam1q82nwzkyjv79mj42mmk5h5qaf0nsewquwc9wl38k --amount 1000 --memo <your wallet address tpknam1...>`

#undelegate  
`namadac unbond --source <walletname> --validator tnam1q82nwzkyjv79mj42mmk5h5qaf0nsewquwc9wl38k --amount 1000 --memo <your wallet address tpknam1...>`

#withdrawing unbonded tokens  
`namadac withdraw --source <walletname> --validator tnam1q82nwzkyjv79mj42mmk5h5qaf0nsewquwc9wl38k --memo <your wallet address tpknam1...>`
