Create a validator on Holesky without the Launchpad

⚠️ Do not do this for mainnet, this is a quick and insecure procedure that it's fine for Testnet only

  1. Download and install https://github.com/wealdtech/ethdo and https://github.com/ethereum/staking-deposit-cli
  2. Connect your Metamask to Holesky and generate a new address
  3. Use the address to get some 33 HolETH from https://holesky-faucet.pk910.de/
  4. Generate a new keystore for your validator using the staking-deposit-cli tool. Replace 0xADDR by your metamask address
./deposit.sh new-mnemonic --chain holesky --execution_address 0xADDR --num_validators 1
