Prerequisites
To set up a validator you will need:
An Ethereum wallet
To specify the amount of stake: 32 ETH per validator
Additional ETH for transaction fees
To specify the withdrawal address, if not specified, the field will be populated automatically with the same address used to stake(deposit address).
How to stake ETH with P2P.org dApp
Navigate to https://eth.p2p.org/staking
Click Connect Wallet.
If you cannot find your wallet in the supported list, you can use Wallet Connect.
You may be required to sign terms before you proceed to stake. Read and understand the terms and sign in your wallet.
Select Native ETH Staking
💡Native ETH Staking refers to the standard, native method of staking Ethereum where you run validators directly on the Ethereum network without additional smart contract layers or pooling mechanisms.
Enter amount of ETH to be staked (at least 32 ETH and only multiples of 32 for 0x01 validators).
💡 Each 0x01 validator can only hold 32 ETH.
Turn off auto-compounding toggle to create a 0x01 validator.
Turn off EigenLayer restaking toggle if you will not be restaking.
Expand Advanced Settings to specify a withdrawal address(if it is different from depositing address) and change Relay settings(optional).
💡 Withdrawal address can be any valid ETH address that you have access to. Consensus layer and execution layer rewards will be sent to this address. The withdrawal address cannot be changed(for consensus layer rewards) after the validator is set up.
Review reward rate, service fee and activation time and click Stake
Confirm the transaction in your wallet
Return to Portfolio to view status of new validator(s). It may take some minutes to update the status.
Wait for the validator(s) to become active. https://www.validatorqueue.com/ shows the general activation queue for validators. You can check the activation time for your particular validator at https://beaconcha.in/validator/<validator_pubkey>. Once the validator(s) are active the validator will start earning rewards. You can use the P2P.org dApp to check the status of your staked account and manage validator(s).
