# Update your validator node
Rewards
Upon completing this challenge, you will be rewarded 50 Desmos Tokens.
Additionally, you will also earn more tokens the longer you keep the node running. To know more about this please reference the Validators program.
To allow all validators to have a chance of earning all the tokens by completing this challenge, we will start counting the precommits from the first block generated after 13 July 2020 00:00 UTC.
When a new version of Desmos is released, all validators need to update their node so that it can keep running properly. Following you will find the guide on how you can do this making sure everything is ready for when the new chain starts.
Stop the running service:
sudo systemctl stop desmosd
1Update the Desmos binaries:
cd ~/desmos git fetch -a git checkout tags/v0.8.2 make install

4Delete the current
genesis.json
file and download the new one:rm ~/.desmosd/config/genesis.json curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/desmos-labs/morpheus/master/genesis.json > ~/.desmosd/config/genesis.json
1
2Verify the validity of the generated
genesis.json
file by running the following commands:jq -S -c -M '' ~/.desmosd/config/genesis.json | shasum -a 256
1The output should be
d58db84eb3978e1c290a0fbd4a0606e5d7249fa9543e0643313b86c694cd02f6 -
1Reset your node to make sure everything is ready:
desmosd unsafe-reset-all
1Start your new node:
sudo systemctl start desmosd
1
Now you should be able to see your node properly syncing with the other ones by executing:
journalctl -n100 -f -u desmosd.service
# Periodic Uptime Rewards
During Phase 5, validators will enjoy the uptime rewards similar to Phase 4. The following is an example.

---|---|
345,600 | 1,500 |
353,480 | 1,750 |
361,540 | 2,040 |

378,220 | 2,780 |
386,850 | 3,240 |
395,670 | 3,780 |
404,690 | 4,410 |
413,920 | 5,140 |
423,360 | 6,000 |
Total number of pre-commits will be refined after the end of Phase 5.
