./itc completion create-validator --name "MyValidator" --amount "1000.0" --chain-id mainnet --identity "validator1"

Create a new validator with staking, commission rate, and delegation limits

./itc completion create-validator --name "MyValidator" --amount "1000.0" --rate "0.05" --max-total-delegation "5000.0" --min-self-delegation "1000.0"

Create a validator using BLS public keys from a directory

./itc completion create-validator --bls-pubkeys-dir "/path/to/bls/keys" --name "MyValidator"

Create a validator with a timeout of 60 seconds

./itc completion create-validator --name "MyValidator" --timeout 60
