ValidatorExitHelper

ValidatorExitHelper is a program that facilitates the exit of Ethereum Validators from the blockchain network. It supports selecting the number of Validators to exit or choosing all, ensuring a safe exit process with confirmation before execution of irreversible commands. The program also logs important information such as Public Key and URL for future verification.

Purpose

1. Facilitate the safe exit of multiple Validators at once.
2. Reduce human error by confirming actions before executing irreversible commands.
3. Log essential information like Public Key and URL for verifying Validator status after exiting.

Configuration

Before using ValidatorExitHelper, you will need to configure the following settings in the ValidatorExitHelper.py script:

1. File Path for YAML Configuration

   • The script expects a YAML configuration file containing the list of validators you want to exit.
   • You need to define the correct path to this YAML file.

   To configure it, modify the line in ValidatorExitHelper.py:

   file_path = "validator_definitions.yml"

   Replace "validator_definitions.yml" with the actual path to your YAML configuration file. EX.PATH : /home/USER/.lighthouse/custom/validators/

2. Set the Testnet Directory

   • The script also requires a testnet_dir for the configuration files.

   Modify the line in ValidatorExitHelper.py:

   TESTNET_DIR = "/path/to/your/testnet/config"

   Replace "/path/to/your/testnet/config" with the actual path to your testnet configuration directory. Download from here : https://github.com/jibchain-net/node

Once you have updated these settings, you can proceed to use the script.

Usage

1. Prepare validator_definitions.yml File

The validator_definitions.yml file must be in the same directory as the program and have the following structure:

- enabled: true
  voting_public_key: 0x...
  voting_keystore_path: /path/to/keystore.json
  voting_keystore_password: 'password'

2. Run the Program

To start the program, run the following command:

python3 ValidatorExitHelper.py

3. Choose Number of Validators

• Enter the number of Validators to exit.
• Confirm the action by typing yes or no.

4. Check the Log File

After completion, the Public Key and URL of the exited Validators will be logged in exited_validators_log.txt:

Public Key: 0x123...
URL: https://dora.jibchain.net/validator/0x123...

Caution

1. The lighthouse account validator exit command cannot be undone.
2. Keep your Lighthouse Validator running until all coins have been returned to your Wallet.
