Hi where do you find the link for genesis? if you are doing state sync, you can use genesis here. https://github.com/cosmos/mainnet/tree/master/genesis

I just want to search a genesis.json to run gaia and make an investigation.

[yaruwangway]

it seems the link is not valid anymore, we will update it. thank you!

Could you tell me just how to go run this repo? I used 2 of these files(https://github.com/cosmos/mainnet/tree/master/genesis), but still got errors. I am looking for the implementation on tendermint service, it would be helpful if you know where I can find it.

sorry @ImJeremyHe looks like you were following the translated docs which we haven't been able to keep up to date. Could you please try following the english docs and see if your error still occurs? Will close now, please re-open if you're still having issues
