Become a Testnet Validator
Joining an Ethereum consensus testnet is a great way to get familiar with staking in Phase 0. All users should experiment with a testnet prior to staking mainnet ETH.
To join a testnet, you can follow the Become an Ethereum consensus Mainnet Validator instructions but with a few differences:
- Use the appropriate Staking launchpad website:
- Instead of
--network mainnet, use the appropriate network flag:--network prater: Prater.
- Use a Goerli execution node instead of a mainnet one:
- For Geth, this means using
geth --goerli --http.
- For Geth, this means using
- Notice that Lighthouse will store its files in a different directory by default:
~/.lighthouse/prater: Prater.
Never use real ETH to join a testnet! All of the testnets listed here use Goerli ETH which is basically worthless. This allows experimentation without real-world costs.
