Unjail Validator

If your validator falls out-of-sync with the chain (downtime), it can be “jailed”. Check your validator status for jailed: true. Once your validator is back in sync with the chain (it is at same block height as the validators in the active set), it can be “unjailed” jailed: false with the following command.

hedged tx slashing unjail --from <key_name> --chain-id <chain_id>

Check the transaction status for any error and confirm that your validator is part of the active set again with the command in the previous section.
