Our main goal is to contribute to the network decentralization by making it easier and affordable for regular users to run nodes (and staking) on resource-constrained devices as well as helping to test the next major Ethereum upgrade (The Merge).
In this workshop we will show from scratch how to install and set up an Ethereum validator node, from running the Execution Layer + Consensus Layer combo to creating the keys and setup for the validator in order to get it up and running.
Speaker(s): Diego Losada

A
Good
morning
we
are
ethereum
and
arm.
First
of
all,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
early
morning
and
well.
We
are
running
about
later
from
zero.
We
are
either
on
arm
from
Spain
I
hope
you
find
this
Workshop
very
useful
for
you
all
and
we
have
a
little
surprise
in
the
end.
So
I
truly
recommend
you
and
deeply
recommend
you
to
stay
till
the
end,
so
Mr
Diego
and
my
colleague
Fernando.
They
will
run
this
Workshop.
So
let's
go
for
it
and
work
a
little
bit
thanks.
B
B
This
is
why
we
are
here:
I
mean
we
want
people
to
run
notes
at
home
to
run,
to
stake
at
home,
where
it
is
by
running
an
ethereal
and
Armin
match
or
or
by
running
an
app
node
or
by
running
a
client
by
yourselves,
whatever
it's
very,
very
important
for
for
the
decentralization
of
the
of
the
network.
So
this
is
key
and
and
that's
it
if
I
ask
if
I
may
ask
how
many
of
you
run
a
I
know
at
home.
Well,
not
bad
validator,.
B
So
what
we
provide?
We
provide
a
plug
and
play
image,
so
it
is
very
easy
to
start
it
just
you
just
need
to
flash
a
Micro,
SD
and
and
start
the
device
and
pretty
much
it
configures
everything
and
you
have
a
valuable
all
the
ethereum
clients
for
start,
and
you
can
run
on
a
full
node
in
in
a
few
commands.
We
will
see
this
later.
Okay,
as
I
was
saying,
this
is
what
the
the
image
does.
B
B
Why
run
and
if
you
know
on
these
devices
well,
it's
affordable.
I
mean
it's
cheaper
than
other
other
Solutions
expense.
Little
power
there
are
performant.
These
devices
are
powerful,
particularly
now
the
the
rock
5
is
is
about
super
powerful
device.
They
are
focusing
on
one
task:
I
mean
no
graphical
environments.
No
web
browsing,
nothing.
Just
it's
focused
on
running
on
home,
so
you
have
all
the
resources
available
for
that.
B
B
B
Yeah
Hardware
requirements
got
a
little
higher,
so
we
are
getting
some
issues
with
the
with
the
Raspberry
Pi
4.
Actually,
we
just
being
able
to
to
sync
a
node
with
get
unstable
and
nimbus
I
think
this
will
get
better
off.
I
mean
about
several
weeks,
because
client
teams
are
working
on
on
improving
the
performance
and
and
doing
some
optimizations
we'll
see.
The
rock
5
is
running
great
I'll
show
you
later
our
validator
at
home.
B
It's
running
a
best
way
in
techu,
and
it's
doing
great,
so
this
device
can
run
pretty
much
every
client
everything
in
client.
It's
it's
super
powerful
yeah.
This
is
what
I
was
saying:
get
unstable,
plus
demos.
This
is
the
only
combo
that
that
actually
works
and
drop.
Five
see
that
it's
powerful
16
gigabytes
of
RAM
nbme.
B
D
Go
I
think
the
first
question
is,
and
the
short
answer
is
no.
You
shouldn't
this
should
interest
us.
We
are
going
to
provide
you
all
the
different
clients
in
a
way
of
Debian
packets,
and
you
could
ask
okay
why
I
should
should
you
should
try
to?
How
do
I
know
that
you
are
not
changing
anything
in
the
code
or
you
are
not
changing
anything
in
the
package.
D
Northern
trying
to
tell
me
something
or
doing
anything
back,
but
the
sure
answer
is
you
could
do
it
at
home
using
learning
this
repository
in
a
very
easy
way?
That's
our
main
goal.
She
could
do
all
the
same
that
we
do
and
create
your
own
image.
We
can
without
need
anything
from
us
only
ruining
these
this
rubber.
B
D
Assistant,
we're
trying
to
do
all
in
a
very
automatic
way
very
easy
and
we
provide
a
background
image.
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
background
background.
Things
are
approach
from
fuzzy
Corp
open
source
product
who
tries
to
to
create
a
developer
environment
in
a
very
easy
way
in
a
very
programmatic
way.
I
can
show
you
our.
F
D
D
Can
you
do
you
see
anything?
Okay?
Oh
that's!
That's
the
way
you
can
find
that
we
can
file
the
only
thing.
That's
still
is
prepare
an
environment
in
order
to
create
all
the
packages.
Okay,
it's
a
very
easy
and
pragmatic
way
to
to
do
so.
Do
you
ask
to
background
to
create
a
Ubuntu
machine
and
install
all
the
software
that
you
need
to
create
the
image
all
the
packages
are
basis
on
the
work
of
this
guy
from
Jordan,
Caesar
I.
D
Don't
know,
I
promise,
okay,
his
surname,
but
this
guy
creates
a
very
nice
way
to
create
to
automate
the
creation
of
a
Debian
package
or
RPM
packages
or
whatever
you
know
so
using
his
work
is
for
us
is
very,
very
easy
to
create
any
any
package.
So
if
you
clone
this,
our
repository
I
mean
do
some
a
very
simple
command
background,
app
to
create
a
bigger
machine
with
all
the
code
inside,
for
example,.
D
D
For
for
our
arm.
With
this
binary
and
this
further
structure,
you
will
create
a
Debian
package,
the
only
app
or
from
site
is
this
small
system
the
unit.
In
order
to
to
be
more
easy
to
to
use
the
software,
you
could
do
system
start
system
stop
or
system
start
for
the
software.
All
the
configuration
also
is
included.
It's
a
basic
configuration.
D
D
D
G
D
D
Because
if
we
don't
do
this,
the
first
room
is
very,
very
slow,
because
Montage
will
try
to
grade
in
the
first
round
and
probably
if
the
matches
are
a
bit
old,
we
will
last
for
very,
very
minutes
or
even
hours,
and
the
only
art
that
we
do
is
add.
This
small
RC
logo
in
this
RC
local
resolve
damage,
because
here.
D
Is
all
the
logic
we
will
create
a
partition
for
you?
We
will
create
all
the
new
users
and
permissions
in
order
to
this
package
room
with
the
configuration
that
we
made
in
I
think
in
a
very
simple
way.
You
could
do
it
at
home.
Do
not
need
ask
for
anything.
You
could
create
your
own
image.
You
could
add
your
own
server.
If
you
want,
you
could
create
your
own
package.
D
B
B
D
B
D
B
B
B
And
that's
it
for
fire
up
a
note.
You
have
an
execution
layer,
a
consensus
layer.
You
start
the
both
services
and
without
limit
it's
pretty
much.
What
you
need
to
do
to
to
launch
a
note.
Okay,
is
that
easy
again,
like
I
said
in
the
intro
and
Raspberry
Pi,
now
just
things
with
get
unstable
and
like
if
sorry
and
Nimbus,
because
yeah
post
marriage,
Hardware
requirements
went,
went
a
little
higher.
B
So
we
need
to
wait,
I
think
a
little
optimizations
to
come
from
from
from
crime
teams
and
I
think
I.
It
will
be
able
again
to
think
with
our
clients,
but
we'll
see
we
are
not
sure
of
that.
The
rock
5
is
running.
Fine
I
mean
pause,
merge
premiered,
it's
a
very,
very
powerful
device,
and
it
is
a
drawing
great.
B
B
B
B
B
B
H
E
B
B
B
C
D
H
B
B
You
can.
We
can
see
a
big
base
as
well.
Now
you
see
it's
in
sync,
it's
working
perfectly
and
again.
This
device
is
not
yet
available,
but
I
think
we
have
contact
with
the
manufacturer
I.
Actually,
this
is
a
prototype
from
March
I,
think
on
March,
April
I,
don't
know,
and
they
are
already
releasing
a
batch.
We
have
five
on
its
way.
B
H
A
A
F
A
B
G
B
B
Well,
because
it's
very
important
for
the
network
actually
is
there's
a
problem
with
centralization.
In
these
large
pools,
I
mean
it's
very
important
that
people
stick
at
home,
because
if
one
pool
or
several
pools
want
to
take
over
the
network,
there
is
this
other
Army
of
nodes
that
is
from
the
people,
I
mean,
and
it's
very,
very
important
to
fight
against
this
kind
of
attacks
to
to
stay
at
home.
Okay,.
B
C
B
B
S-I-S-A-I
I
mean
one
thing
that
I
I
want
to
say
is
that
it's
okay
being
offline,
because
the
protocol
is
very
generous,
I
mean
the
the
penalties
for
being
online
offline.
Sorry
are
very
low,
so
there's
no
problem
for
being
offline.
You
can
be
online
95
for
99
a
whole
year
and
you
have-
and
you
are
good,
so
don't
do
don't.
Overkill
I
mean
don't
do
which
I
don't
don't
automate
things
because
you
can
business.
So
it's
okay
being
offline.
No,
no
problems,
no
problem.
Thanks.
F
F
One
thing
that
I
do
that
I
find
is
quite
good,
is
do
this
come
with
grafana
yeah
enabled
yeah.
So
in
grafana
you
can
add
the
telegram
group
as
a
as
a
notification
point
and
you
can
set
up
an
alert
on
like
critical
log.
So
it
sends
you
a
telegram
message.
I
find
that's
like
a
really
really
easy
way
to
just
to
know
when
things
are
up.
B
C
B
C
B
We
are,
we
are
we
already
package
made
boots,
but
we
are
a
little
concerned
because
they
are
not
every
relays,
but
they
are
already
censored
in
some
transactions
and
we
prefer
to
wait
and
it
it
works.
I
mean
it
works
fine
and
you
can
even
have
a
raspberry,
P3,
maybe
or
or
this
kind
of
of
devices,
because
it's
very
light,
but
we
are
a
little
concerned
about
centralization
and
sensory.
You
know
and
transaction
censorship.
B
I
I
I
B
B
J
Hi
thanks
for
presentation,
I
came
a
little
late,
so
I'm
not
sure.
If
that
was
discussed.
Do
you
know
if
somebody
working
on
an
incentive
program
or
protocol
similar
to
helium,
where
individuals
takers
that
can
you
know,
prove
that
they're
running
in
a
location
that
doesn't
have
high
density
gets
a
little
bit
of
incentive?
No.
B
J
A
H
B
H
B
H
F
B
H
B
The
best
option
from
our
experience
is
anesthetic
Bridge,
which
is
a
little
advice
that
connects.
This
is
a
SATA
to
to
USB
3
that
works
very
well.
You
can
use
use
portable
USBS
such
as
crucial
or
or
Samsung
T5.
T67
t7,
you
know,
has
a
little
uses,
but
yeah
you,
you
can
I.
You
can
actually
the
use
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
options.
So
it's
difficult
for
us
to
to
test
everything
but
recommendation.
Our
recommendation
is
the
static
Bridge.
Yes,
it
works
right
right.
B
We
are
very,
we
are
big
fans
of
rockpool.
Actually,
we
are
in
contact
with
Joe
clappies.
They
are
running
rocket,
pool
in
the
rock
5
as
well
and
yeah.
This
is
this
is
a
way
of
lowering
the
32
barrier
in
a
decentralized
way.
Yes,
it's
very
nice
I
am
we
are
big
fans
of
of
Rocket
pool
so
yeah.
We
recommend
that.
D
D
D
D
D
A
So,
thank
you
for
and
and
Diego
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
share
this
their
knowledge
and
and
all
of
you
this
morning.
I
just
want
to
remind
you
that
we'll
be
tomorrow
downstairs
at
the
booth
with
our
well
you'll,
see
perfectly
ethereum
on
arm.
Okay
and
we're
gonna.
Be
there
if
you
I,
don't
know
if
this
tonight
comes
up
any
further
question
will
be
there
the
whole
day
right
yeah.
So
thank
you
all
and
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
add
some
words.
