+
+When running against the remote sequencer, you will also need to create a new
+sequencer account to fund the Composer so that it can act as a gas station for
+your rollup. The following commands will create a new sequencer account and
+update the `composer_dev_priv_key` file in your `default` instance for use with
+the Composer.

 `astria-geth` is a fork of `go-ethereum` modified to work with
 the Astria sequencing layer.

+### CLI Configuration of the Astria-Geth Genesis
+
+Create an account with `cast` and export the address and private key to env
+vars.
+
+```bash
+eval $(cast w new --json | jq -r '@sh "export ADDRESS=\(.[:1][].address) PRIV_KEY=\(.[:1][].private_key)"')
+```
+
+You will use the private key for your new account to send [test
+transactions](./test-transactions.md) later on as the same env var.
+
+Set a rollup name, chain id, and starting balance:
+
+```bash
+export CHAIN_ID=<some 6 digit number>
+export ROLLUP_NAME="<your rollup name>"
+export STARTING_BALANCE=300000000000000000000
+```
+
+Once all env vars are set you can print their values for confirmation:
+
+```bash
+echo $ADDRESS
+echo $PRIV_KEY
+echo $CHAIN_ID
+echo $ROLLUP_NAME
+echo $STARTING_BALANCE
+```
+
+Update the genesis file:
+
+```bash
+jq --arg chain_id "$CHAIN_ID" \
+   --arg rollup_name "$ROLLUP_NAME" \
+   --arg address "$ADDRESS" \
+   --arg starting_balance "$STARTING_BALANCE" \
+   '.config.chainId = ($chain_id|tonumber) |
