eth2 validator launchpad 🚀 | Ethereum Foundation Blog

Published:

After The This website was developed by the eth2 research team, who have also contributed many months of hardwork. Consensys And DeepWork StudioWe We are happy to announce the availability Launchpad for eth2 validator (testnet version).

We It You can track progress and make deposits for each installment. Medalla Multi-client testnet. But In In the weeks that lead to the mainnet launch we will continue to refine the interface.

The The Launchpad exists to make it easy for you to validate eth2 protocols. Without Safety or education at risk.

In Contrary You can use third-party validation services, but running your own validater means you are responsible for your keys and will need to manage them. This Responsibility Safety and ease of use are two sides of the same coin.

Education

The The The initial mission of the launch pad is to provide validation information regarding the entire process. Above We All validators should be able see what’s happening and why.

The The The basics

We Begin Start with the basics. Before Before Before you begin the registration process it is important that you understand what eth2 means. Validators are required to ensure that eth2 works properly.

Timelines Important Meilensteine

You You You should also be aware that eth2 will be coming out in phases.

And Where At the moment, we are on that timeline.

Reward Program

Before deciding whether to run a validator, it’s important to have a clear idea of ​​the amount of rewards you can receive.

In You It is important to understand that not all rewards are guaranteed. Dynamic (a function of how many eth are staked in the network).

In PlainlyThe annual reward will be higher if there is a low amount of ETH staked over a single year. ButAs the stakes increase, each validator starts to receive a smaller reward.

Once If You feel confident that you have understood the concepts and are ready to begin the registration process.

The First Part: A sequence of statements in pairs. (A piece followed by acknowledgement of form). “I understand this piece of information”) that can be broadly divided into three categories: risk, liability, and safety (although there are some overlap between the three).

Risk Responsibility

The The Validators must be aware of their responsibilities and the risks involved in eth2 network.

With Concerning Risk, we want you to be aware of your mitigation risks and the inherent risks associated with being an early adopter.

Regarding We We want to help you understand your liability. You Your staked cannot be transferred Ethereum Keep eth2 off your computer until a later date. later).



Here These are just a few examples for statement pairs

Security (keys)

Unlike As You will manage your validator as a member in a participation group. Keys.

Before We I want to help you understand the process of keys being generated before we can generate them. Most ImportantlyIt is important to understand that keys can only come from one source. MnemonicYou Without this mnemonic, you will not be permitted to withdraw funds.

The Launchpad This This project was important for us as it created an educational and welcoming environment that allows beacon chain integration and integration with eth2. StillWe Other interfaces will catch up with top teams and client operator operators. We hope that you’ll be able to test their releases once they become available.

We We We hope that you found this tutorial useful. We We We can’t wait for your launchpad! Test Network Medal deposits 🎉
