Validating From Hardware Enclaves
Special thanks to Jason & Amir from Puffer for review and discussion In the following, we will take a closer look at secure-signer, a remote-signing tool protecting validator keys and adding a slashing protection fence inside trusted hardware. We will also go through setting up a validator using secure-signer on ephemery testnet.UPDATE: Here’s a 15min devconnect2023 TL;DR of this blogpost Quick recap: What to protect against? And how to protect validator keys?Node operators protect their vali...
Preparing Voluntary Exits in Advance
→ updated on 02/27/2023: added a section for generating a voluntary exit message without a mnemonic / offline computer (with ethdo v1.28.4+)With the upcoming Shanghai/Capella network upgrade, the Ethereum validator lifecycle will be formally closed. Although the exit process itself had been specified all along, it is worth reviewing it once again, adding the final piece of the puzzle to it: withdrawals🦉 Additionally, about 60% of all mainnet validators will have to rotate their withdrawal cr...
Making Sense of a ZK Staking Node
Thanks to Kev for extensive discussion, as well as George, Marius and Thomas for feedback *** One of the key recent conversations in the Ethereum community revolves around a fundamental challenge: how do we scale the network without sacrificing the core principles of decentralization and permissionless verification? This has led to a rethinking of the validator's role, potentially splitting the duties of today's staking nodes into more specialized tasks like attesting, including, bu...
