wget -P ~/.0gchain/config https://github.com/0glabs/0g-chain/releases/download/v0.2.3/genesis.json

Set minimum gas price & peers

sed -i "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0ua0gi\"/" $HOME/.0gchain/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/prometheus = false/prometheus = true/" $HOME/.0gchain/config/config.toml
