CSM with Dappnode

Accessing your Dappnode

Connect your Dappnode to your home router using a LAN cable and turn it on.

There are 3 different ways to access your dappnode.

1. Dappnode's own WiFi hotspot: Connect your working computer/laptop to the Dappnode WiFi hotspot and paste http://my.dappnode in your browser

2. Local network access: Connect your working computer/laptop to the same WiFi network as the router the Dappnode is connected to and paste http://dappnode.local in your browser

3. VPN access: This method requires additional configuration after initially logging in to your Dappnode using either of the above 2 methods. This is covered in the video guide below.

Validator Key Generation

Note that the steps for Generate Keystores and Deposit Data on testnet and mainnet will differ.

Testnet KeyGen Process

Follow along the Dappnode CSM guide in the embedded link above and simply generate your testnet validator keystores + deposit data on your working laptop.

Mainnet KeyGen Process

Because the keystore generation process for Mainnet needs to be a lot more secure, we will have to perform additional steps as detailed in the section linked below.

Validator key generation

Refer back to the Dappnode CSM guide for Steps 3 & 4 once your validator keystores and deposit data have been generated.
