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


Download and install https://github.com/wealdtech/ethdo and https://github.com/ethereum/staking-deposit-cli
Connect your Metamask to Holesky and generate a new address
Use the address to get some 33 HolETH from https://holesky-faucet.pk910.de/
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

You will need to enter a password and you will get a mnemonic phrase. They will be referred as PASSWD and MNEM from now on

Import the wallet in ethdo:

ethdo wallet create --type hd --mnemonic "MNEM" --wallet-passphrase "PASSWD" --wallet wallet


Create the validator account in ethdo

ethdo account create --account wallet/validating-0 --path m/12381/3600/0/0/0 --wallet-passphrase "PASSWD" --passphrase "PASSWD"


Create the deposit data:

ethdo validator depositdata --validatoraccount wallet/validating-0 --depositvalue 32Ether --passphrase "PASSWD" --forkversion 0x01017000 --withdrawaladdress "0xADDR" --raw


Execute the transaction in Metamask

Check "Show hex data" in Settings -> Advanced
Create a new Send transaction in Metamask:

Destination: 0x4242424242424242424242424242424242424242 which is the Holesky deposit contract
Amount: 32 ETH
Hex Data: 0x... (extract it from output of step 7. Only copy the number starting with 0x)


Import the validators into Nimbus

cd /path/to/staking-deposit-cli
/path/to/nimbus-beacon deposits import --data-dir=/path/to/nimbus/data/


Wait for 1 epoch (6 minutes) and check your validator at https://holesky.beaconcha.in/validator/PUBKEY

replace PUBKEY with the value obtained from:
ethdo account info --account wallet/validating-0
