Migrate to Pre-Mainnet from TestNet

Key Steps

  1. Change NetID from 2 to 1

  2. Delete the original BootNodes and replace with BootSeeds . The content is as followed

"BootSeeds": [
  "https://bootnodes.vite.net/bootmainnet.json"
],
  1. The default data directory in TestNet is "~/.gvite/testdata/". This has been moved to "~/.gvite/maindata in Pre-Mainnet. Remember to move your keystore files as well from the "~/.gvite/testdata/wallet/" to "~/.gvite/maindata/wallet/" especially if you are migrating a supernode.

More Information

Starting from gvite v2.0.0, a updated node_config.json has been provided as template in the installation package. Make your own modification based on it!
