Important Safety Best Practice: Avoid downloading untrusted scripts. Unverified code may pose security risks. Double-check the script or ask someone trusted for verification. Only install after confirming its authenticity.
😄 Friendly Node Installer: Helps you deploy a systemd installation with minority clients Nimbus-Nethermind or Teku-Besu stack in just minutes. MEVboost included.
💾 Ease of use: No more remembering CLI commands required. Access common node operations via a simple text user interface (TUI).
🦉 Fast Updates: Quickly find and download the latest consensus/execution release. Less downtime!
🎉Compatibility: Behind the scenes, node commands and file structure are identical to V2 staking setups.
Already a running a Validator? EthPillar is compatible with a Coincashew V2 Staking Setup.
⛓️ Hoodi and Ephemery Testnet Support: Quickest and easiest way run a node now, risk free. Learn and practice here before moving to mainnet.
💧 Lido CSM Integration: Deploys in minutes and start staking via Lido's CSM with as little as 2.4 ETH.
🛠️ Plugins and Tools: Node-checker, eth-validator-cli, Dora the lightweight block explorer, contributoor, Ethdo, client-stats, csm-sentinel and eth-duties Integration helps stakers with every day common tasks.
