To register your validator node in the genesis.json you just need to provide a signed gentx in a ⚖️ Register Validator issue.
You don't have to fork the project and make the changes in the genesis yourself. Everything will be managed by the CI!
The gentx generation can be done as follow (this is an example script, adapt it to your needs) with the okp4d binary matching the network's version:
# Init node
okp4d --home mynode init your-moniker
# Create keys, be careful with the mnemonic 👀
okp4d --home mynode keys add your-key-name
# Set account necessary balance
okp4d --home mynode add-genesis-account your-key-name 1200000uknowThen create your own genesis transaction (gentx). You will have to choose the following parameters for your validator: commission-rate, commission-max-rate, commission-max-change-rate, min-self-delegation (>=1), website (optional), details (optional), identity (keybase key hash, used to get validator logos in block explorers - optional), security-contact (email - optional).
# Create the gentx
