## Initial Setup

### Initialize node

Before key management and registration, initialize your node with validator mode so that RPC and P2P bind to localhost (recommended for validator security):

```bash copy
seid init <moniker> --chain-id <chain-id> --mode validator
```

The default init mode is **full**, which binds RPC and P2P to all interfaces (`0.0.0.0`). For validator (and seed) nodes, use `--mode validator` or `--mode seed` so that RPC and P2P listen on localhost only. Genesis is written automatically for known networks; no separate download is required.

### Key Management

The security of your validator begins with proper key management. Your validator requires several distinct keys:
