Create Validator keys ​

Each validator needs a private key to operate, and these private keys must be kept secure.

Using Script ​

To create new keys, please run this docker script:

docker run -e NUM_VALIDATORS=1 -e KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=123456789 -e WITHDRAWAL_ADDRESS=0xBd65D6efb2C3e6B4dD33C664643BEB8e5E133055 -v ./keystores:/app/validator_keys canxium/staking-deposit-cli:v0.1

Please replace the KEYSTORE_PASSWORD and WITHDRAWAL_ADDRESS with your own password and address. If you lose your password or lose access to the withdrawal wallet, you will lose all the CAU you have deposited.

After the script runs successfully, you will receive two files in the ./keystores folder:

deposit_data-1712896419.json and keystore-m_12381_3600_0_0_0-1712896418.json
