# Mainnet Buenos Aires Reboot

Due to a mainnet reboot and ledger backtrace to **epoch 10**, all validators need to manually reset and reconnect. Follow this short guide to restore your node and rejoin the X1 network.

***

## ✅ Steps to Get Back on X1

### 1. Stop the Validator

Shut down your validator cleanly:

```bash
tachyon-validator exit -f
```

> Alternatively, check running processes:
>
> ```bash
> ps aux | grep validator
> ```
>
> And terminate with `kill <PID>` if needed.

***

### 2. Remove Old Ledger

Delete the outdated ledger:

```bash
rm -rf ledger
```

***

### 3. Connect to the Correct RPC

Make sure you're using the official X1 mainnet RPC:

```bash
solana config set -u https://rpc.mainnet.x1.xyz/
```

***

### 4. Update Validator Startup Script for Mainnet

Open your validator startup script:

```bash
nano $HOME/bin/validator.sh
```

Replace its contents with:

````bash
### 4. Update Validator Startup Script for Mainnet

Open your validator startup script:

```bash
nano $HOME/bin/validator.sh
````

Replace its contents with:

```bash
#!/bin/bash
export RUST_LOG=solana_metrics=warn,info

exec tachyon-validator \
  --identity $HOME/.config/solana/identity.json \
  --vote-account $HOME/.config/solana/vote.json \

  --entrypoint entrypoint1.mainnet.x1.xyz:8001 \
  --entrypoint entrypoint2.mainnet.x1.xyz:8001 \
  --entrypoint entrypoint3.mainnet.x1.xyz:8001 \

```

Save and exit the editor.

### 5. Go to Your Keypair Directory

Navigate to the folder where your Solana keypairs are stored:

```bash
cd ~/.config/solana
```

***

### 6. Set the Correct Signer (Identity Keypair)

Tell Solana CLI to use the correct identity key:

```bash
solana config set -k ~/.config/solana/id.json
```

***

### 7. Start the Validator

From your home directory, start the validator:

```bash
cd $HOME
nohup $HOME/bin/validator.sh &
```

Monitor validator logs to verify it's running:

```bash
tail -f $HOME/validator.log
```

### 8. Check and Manage Stakes

Inspect your stake account:

```bash
solana stake-account stake.json
```

* ✅ If your stake was delegated **before epoch 11**, it remains valid.
* ❌ If delegated **after epoch 11**, you'll need to **re-delegate**.

Use this guide to re-delegate: 👉 <https://docs.x1.xyz/validating/connect-validator-to-x1-mainnet>

### 9. Makeup

Do it:\
👉 [Validator Misc Commands](https://docs.x1.xyz/validating/misc-commands)

***

### 10. Confirm You’re Listed

Check validator visibility and status:

* [View on x1val.online](https://mainnet.x1val.online/)
* [View on Fortiblox Explorer](https://explorer.fortiblox.com/)

## Notes

* Epoch 10 is the new genesis point after master node reset.
* Stakes initiated prior to epoch 11 should auto-activate, but verify.
* Validators must reset ledger and reconnect to RPC cleanly.
