rollback

📣 Tip: $install_path is used to indicate the path where you installed the stcd binary

Learn how to rollback a chain version if a chain upgrade fails.

In order to restore a previous chain version, a validator must restore the following data:

A database containing the state of the previous chain (by default in $install_path/.stcd/data)
Validator's priv_validator_state.json file (also in $install_path/.stcd/data by default)

If a validator does not own their database data, another validator should share a copy of the database. Validators will be able to download a copy of the data and validate it before launching their nodes.

If validators do not have a backup priv_validator_state.json file, then those validators will not have double-signature protection on their first block.

First, stop your node.
Then, copy the contents of the backup data directory back to the $DAODST_HOME/data directory (should be $install_path/.stcd/data by default)

# Assumes backup is stored in "backup" directory
rm -rf $install_path/.stcd/data
mv backup/.stcd/data $install_path/.stcd/data

Next, install the previous version of Daodst.

# from Daodst directory
git checkout <prev_version>
make install
## verify version
stcd version --long

Finally, start the node.
