Genesis Verification

Raw

    $ certikd export --height <height> --for-zero-height > exported_genesis.json
Change chain_id (or other parameters that need to be changed) in exported_genesis.json
Download the proposed genesis file by the CertiK Foundation and save as proposed_genesis.json
Sort the keys in both genesis files (export is non-deterministic)
$ jq . --sort-keys proposed_genesis.json > sorted_proposed_genesis.json
$ jq . --sort-keys exported_genesis.json > sorted_exported_genesis.json
Verify if the sha512sum hashes match
$ sha512sum sorted_exported_genesis.json
$ sha512sum sorted_proposed_genesis.json
