Get your nodes operating! and monitor updates by genesis 👀
Eth2 genesis, December 1st. Prepare!
This week, the deposit contract hit the minimal threshold of 16384 32-ETH validator deposits, kicking genesis into movement. Genesis time is 1606824023 — that’s, December 1, 2020, 12:00:23pm UTC.
Should you made genesis deposits, please be sure to’re an energetic participant this week.
Arrange your node 🖥
It is time to configure your node. Sync your eth1 consumer (begin now! this will take a while), arrange your favourite eth2 consumer, and cargo up your validators.
Take a look at the Launch Pad’s Eth2 Staker Guidelines for the minimal steps you must carry out earlier than genesis.
Monitor updates by genesis 👀
Though all eth2 shoppers have reduce mainnet v1.0 releases, hold your eye on any developments by genesis. Within the occasion that your eth2 consumer cuts a launch 24 hours earlier than genesis, it is doubtless for an excellent motive and try to be on prime of it.
Be a part of your consumer’s discord, and if they’ve a mailing listing, enroll!
Along with the client-specific assets, I extremely suggest becoming a member of the ethstaker discord. It is an ideal place to ask questions and share data, and I anticipate it to be very energetic by genesis. If there’s something you could know, it can very doubtless floor there.
Thanks and congratulations
I wished to supply one other large thanks and congratulations to everybody who has helped make this a actuality. I could not be extra excited to see the Ethereum neighborhood lastly bootstrap this new proof-of-stake consensus mechanism.
Though there may be nonetheless a lot work to do, it is a good time to take a deep breath and smile.
Completely satisfied staking 🚀
