Connect your validator to eth2
Prater
To connect your validator to the Prater testnet, from the nimbus-eth2
repository run:
./run-prater-beacon-node.sh
Mainnet
To connect your validator to mainnet, from the nimbus-eth2
repository run:
./run-mainnet-beacon-node.sh
In both cases, you'll be asked to enter your Web3 provider URL again.
Note: If your beacon node is already running, you'll need to shut it down gracefully (
Ctrl+c
) and re-run the above command.
To ensure your Validator is correctly monitoring the eth1 chain, it's important you enter a valid web3 provider.
Your beacon node will launch and connect your validator to the eth2 network. To check that this has happened correctly, check your logs for the following:
INF 2020-11-18 11:20:00.181+01:00 Launching beacon node
...
NOT 2020-11-18 11:20:02.091+01:00 Local validator attached
