Generate Validator Key & Send Deposit​

EthPillar integrates with ethstaker-deposit-cli to assist users in managing Validators within the TUI. This includes generating and importing Validator keys, as well as making deposits.

To proceed, run ethpillar, select Validator Client -> Generate / Import Validator Keys, and follow the instructions. EthPillar will automatically load the generated keys into the validator.

Following the TUI prompts, you can choose to send your deposit request on-chain via launchpad (recommended for most users).On the staking launchpad page,There are the following steps:

  • Advisories: Everything you should understand before becoming a validator, Read it and click I ACCEPT
  • Choose client: Already integrated into Ethpillar,just click CONTINUE
  • Generate keys: Already integrated into Ethpillar,just click I am keeping my key(s) safe and have written down my mnemonic phrase. and CONTINUE
  • Upload deposit data: Follow the instructions on the webpage
  • Connect wallet: Follow the instructions on the webpage
  • Summary: Follow the instructions on the webpage

For large-scale stakers (e.g., depositing thousands of ACE), using our batch deposit CLI tool is the recommended approach to efficiently submit deposit requests.
