Prerequisites

To use Cosmopilot, ensure you meet the following prerequisites before proceeding with installation and configuration.

Kubernetes Cluster

• Version: Kubernetes v1.29 or higher is required.
• Optional but strongly recommended for full functionality:
  • NGINX Ingress Controller: for exposing API endpoints.
  • cert-manager: for exposing API endpoints with TLS and for admission webhooks (which can be optionally disabled).
  • Volume Snapshot controller: for data volume snapshots support.

Tools

• helm: Required for installing Cosmopilot.
• kubectl: Required for creating and managing resources in your Kubernetes cluster.

Chain Compatibility

Cosmopilot works with chains built on the Cosmos SDK. Before deploying, verify your chain is compatible by checking the Chain Compatibility page, which lists:

• Required CLI commands your chain binary must support
• Required API endpoints (gRPC and RPC)
• Tested chains and their verification status

Ensure all dependencies are installed, your cluster is correctly configured, and your chain is compatible before proceeding to the Installation page.
