Troubleshooting
Here are a list of common errors when launching a node and their recommended solutions:
Error Description | Recommended Solution(s) |
---|---|
Default gas fails when staking | Use --gas auto |
Error: couldn't read GenesisDoc file: open /root/.cantod/config/genesis.json: no such file or directory | Put the genesis.json file in the specified location, such as:sudo wget https://github.com/Canto-Network/Canto/raw/main/Mainnet/genesis.json -P/root/.cantod/config/ |
Error during handshake: error on replay: validator set is nil in genesis and still empty after InitChain | Local: Remove datadir and restart

Failed to execute message; message index: 0: failed to delegate; acanto is smaller than acanto: insufficient funds" | Decrease the amount to less than your total $CANTO balance |
Stopping peer for error | No action required |
If you run into unexpected issues when launching your node, it's worth rebuilding from scratch prior to any troubleshooting efforts. Follow these steps:
- 1.Delete
addressbook.json
in the config - 2.Remove all old peers
- 3.Update persistent peers and seeds to newly shared
- 4.Fetch the new genesis file
- 5.Ensure binary is up to date
- 6.Start your node
If you get stuck with something that isn't explained here, a good place to look for more information about your issue is the EVMOS community and docs.
