VALIDATOR INSTALLATION GUIDE

Ubuntu Jammy 22.04 (LTS)

Follow the instructions here

mkdir -p blockchain/consensus
mkdir -p blockchain/execution

cd blockchain
openssl rand -hex 32 | tr -d "\n" > "jwt.hex"

cd ~
git clone https://gitlab.com/pulsechaincom/staking-deposit-cli.git
cd staking-deposit-cli
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
sudo python3 setup.py install

cd staking-deposit-cli
./deposit.sh new-mnemonic \
--num_validators=1 \
--chain=pulsechain \
--folder=/home/<changeusername>/blockchain \
--eth1_withdrawal_address=<eth_address>

cd staking-deposit-cli
./deposit.sh existing-mnemonic \
--validator_start_index=10 \
--num_validators=1 \
--chain=pulsechain \
--folder=/home/<changeusername>/blockchain \
--eth1_withdrawal_address=<eth_address>

--validator_start_index is the number of validators you ALREADY created.

--num_validators is the number of NEW validators you want to create.

If you try to deposit, and it shows 0 validators on the launchpad, then your permissions are wrong.

Run the following, but update the path & file name.

sudo chmod user:user /path/to/deposit_*.json

sudo ufw allow 30303

sudo docker run -d --restart unless-stopped \
--net=host \
--name=execution \
-v /home/<changeusername>/blockchain:/blockchain \
registry.gitlab.com/pulsechaincom/go-pulse:latest \
--pulsechain \
--authrpc.jwtsecret=/blockchain/jwt.hex \
--datadir=/blockchain/execution \
--http

sudo ufw allow 12000/udp
sudo ufw allow 13000/tcp

Save your Prysm wallet password:

cd blockchain
nano password.txt

Enter your Prysm wallet password, press CTRL+X, then confirm by pressing y, and finally, press Enter.

--suggested-fee-recipient=<your_eth_address> \
--min-sync-peers=1

You will probably need to reformat the above to work.

Everything before "registry" in one line, and everything after "registry" align the tabs back one tab. I've formatted it the way above for readability.

You can broadcast your signed message from the command line using the curl command.

curl -X 'POST' \
'localhost:3500/eth/v1/beacon/pool/bls_to_execution_changes' \
-H 'accept: */*' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d @filename.json

curl -X 'GET' \
'http://127.0.0.1:3500/eth/v1/beacon/states/head/validators/validator_index_number' \
-H 'accept: application/json'

sudo ufw allow 9000

You may need to port forward 9000 on your local router.

sudo docker stop -t 180 <containername>

sudo docker rm <containername>

sudo docker logs --follow <containername>

sudo docker images ps -a

sudo docker image rm <image_id>

ps to see processes (works with containers):

ps

ps -a to see stopped ones too:

ps -a

ls is to list so that it can be used with images (they don't have a process) or containers. Also, add the -a flag for more detail.
