+# Testnet 3000
+
+## Overview
+Kava testnet-3000 will test the functionality of the Kava blockchain prior to deployment of mainnet. If no bugs are found, this version of [Kava](https://www.github.com/kava-labs/kava) will be the same as the version used on mainnet. If you are planning on running a validator on miannet it is **strongly** reccommended that you participate in testnet-3000.
+
+## Joining
+To join testnet-3000 as a validator, you should submit both a **genesis transaction** and an **account addresss**. The genesis transaction will be for your validator and the account address will control vesting coins that can be delegated. Coins held by the account address will be in a new account type called a [Validator Vesting Account](https://github.com/Kava-Labs/kava/blob/master/x/validator-vesting/spec/01_concepts.md), which vests the coins over time based on weather or not your validator participates in consensus. For testnet-3000, coins will be released every ~12 hours if the validator has signed 90% or greater pre-commits.
+
+ Since this is new functionality, we encourage participants to test regular account actions like delegating/undelegating coins, sending coins, and taking your validator offline. If you suspect you have found a bug, file an issue in the [Kava repo](https://www.github.com/kava-labs/kava/issues) or post it in the [riot chat](https://riot.im/app/#/room/#kava-validators:matrix.org)
+
+1. Install Kava
+
+**Requires Go 1.13**
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/kava-labs/kava
+git checkout v0.3.0-rc1
+make install
+kvd init --chain-id=kava-testnet-3000 <moniker>
+```
+
+`kvd version --long` should output:
+
+```sh
+name: kava
+server_name: kvd
+client_name: kvcli
+version: 0.3.0-rc1
+commit: 247ccc288678da0d30b24a4589164eecbcd031ed
+build_tags: netgo,ledger
+go: go version go1.13 darwin/amd64
+```
+
+2. Create a gentx for your validator
+
+```sh
+kvcli keys add <validator>
+kvd add-genesis-account $(kvcli keys show validator -a) 50000000ukava
+kvd gentx --name <validator> --amount 50000000ukava
+```
+
+3. Create your account address and save it to a text file.
+
+```sh
+kvcli keys add <account>
+kvcli keys show <account> -a > <account>.txt
+```
+
+4. Submit your gentx and account address as a PR.
+
+First, fork https://github.com/kava-labs/kava-testnets to your `$HOME` directory.
+
+```sh
+cd $HOME/kava-testnets
+# Make a directory for your gentx
+mkdir ./3000/<your directory>
+cp $HOME/.kvd/config/gentx/gentx-* $HOME/kava-testnets/3000/gentx/<your directory>/.
+cp $HOME/kava/<account>.txt $HOME/kava-testnets/3000/gentx/<your director>/.
+```
+
+The structure of your PR should look like ![this](testnet-3000-dir-structure.png)
+
+Push the changes to github and submit a PR at the [kava-testnets](https://github.com/kava-labs/kava-testnets) repo.
+
+For general troubleshooting, please use the [riot chat](https://riot.im/app/#/room/#kava-validators:matrix.org).
