Summary for version 0.9.7

Thirtieth release for eth-wizard. It will guide you through all the steps to become a fully functionnal validator. It will install and configure all the software needed to become a validator. It will test your installation. It will help you avoid the common pitfalls. It will help you maintain and keep your setup updated.

Changelog

  • Added installation step and maintenance step to add MEV-Boost, configure it and keep it updated.
  • Fixed issue with checking for validator deposit where eth-wizard would just think the deposit was completed.
  • Now using a unprivileged user for testing Internet speed to prevent some security issues.
  • Now prompts for withdrawal address when generating validator keys with staking-deposit-cli. See #89
  • Now using 5GB for Teku maximum heap size as recommended in the documentation.
  • Fixed a small issue with Teku version parsing.
  • Fixed some issues with bundling and distribution for Windows.
  • Improved check on Lighthouse validator keystore import step. It will prevent omitting to enter the keystore password and have the Lighthouse validator client fail to start automatically.

If you manually installed MEV-Boost previously, this update does not bridge that installation with eth-wizard maintenance mode. You will have to manually check for MEV-Boost version updates and install those manually.

Disclaimer

The eth-wizard should be stable enough to be used by everyone. It was never audited and it might still have some issues. Support is offered through the EthStaker community.

How to use

On Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04

The quick and easy way in your terminal:

wget https://github.com/stake-house/eth-wizard/releases/download/v0.9.7/ethwizard-0.9.7.pyz && sudo python3 ethwizard-0.9.7.pyz

If you manually downloaded the ethwizard-0.9.7.pyz bundle:

sudo python3 ethwizard-0.9.7.pyz

On Windows 10 or 11

Please note that some antivirus software might detect the wizard binary as a threat and delete it or prevent its execution.

Run ethwizard-0.9.7.exe

As an alternative, you can download and install a recent version of Python, make sure to install py launcher (it should be part of the default options), download the ethwizard-0.9.7-win.pyz bundle and double-click on it. This alternative is less likely to trigger your antivirus software.

Bundle

The ethwizard-0.9.7.pyz bundle, the ethwizard-0.9.7-win.pyz bundle and the ethwizard-0.9.7.exe binary are signed with my PGP key for this project: 6EEC4CD326C4BBC79F51F55AE68A0CC47982CB5F
