Import Keys by Lighthouse

You should not use these parameters in your startup:

--validators-dir=/validator_keys
--secrets-dir=/validator_keys_secrets

note

It means you need to delete these two lines before starting your node:

You can run this script in the mainnet-reth-lighthouse folder to import your keys:

./importAccount.sh ./validator_keys

You need to type your keystore's password and validate it. This output will show if everything is okay:

Running account manager for custom (/network_config) network
validator-dir path: "/root/.lighthouse/custom/validators"
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE ORIGINAL KEYSTORES TO VALIDATE WITH ANOTHER CLIENT, OR YOU WILL GET SLASHED.

If you enter the password it will be stored as plain-text in validator_definitions.yml so that it is not required each time the validator client starts.

Enter the keystore password, or press enter to omit it:
