How to Stake Eth ?

To Stake Eth follow the offical Eth Lauchpad https://launchpad.ethereum.org/

Note: Import keys into the network you want such as SSV, OBOL for DVT (Distributed Validator Technolgy)

For Ethereum Staking simply Import your Keys

Import validator key

$HOME/prysm/prysm.sh validator accounts import --mainnet --keys-dir=$HOME/staking-deposit-cli/validator_keys

• Type "accept" to accept terms of use

• Press enter to accept default wallet location

• Enter a new prysm-only password to encrypt your local prysm wallet files

• and enter the keystore password for your imported accounts.

Verify your validators imported successfully.

$HOME/prysm/prysm.sh validator accounts list --mainnet

WARNING: Do not import your validator keys into multiple validator clients and run them at the same time, or you might get slashed. If moving validators to a new setup or different validator client, ensure deletion of the previous validator keys before continuing.

Start the validator

Store your prysm-only password in a file and make it read-only.

This is required so that Prysm can decrypt and load your validators.

Replace <my_password_goes_here> with your prysm-only password.

echo '<my_password_goes_here>' > $HOME/.eth2validators/validators-password.txt
sudo chmod 600 $HOME/.eth2validators/validators-password.txt

Clear the bash history in order to remove traces of your prysm-only password.

shred -u ~/.bash_history && touch ~/.bash_history

Setup Service File

Create a systemd unit file to define your validator.service configuration.

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/validator.service

Paste the following configuration into the file.

# The eth validator service (part of systemd)
# file: /etc/systemd/system/validator.service

Update file permissions.

sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/validator.service
