"Lazy" exits (TESTNET ONLY)
This page is only used for Lido CSM testnet participants who want to rapidly exit their validator keys so that they can shut down their testnet services and transition onto Mainnet. For Mainnet exits, please follow all OpSec SOPs in the main "Existing CSM validators" section.

Preparing to exit
On your validator node:
Download the latest version of the ethdo
tool here.
Verify the checksums by ensuring the outputs of the following 2 commands are the same.
Extract the ethdo
executable file.
Download the latest Offline Preparation file from the Ethstaker github subpage. These are regenerated every day at 0:00 UTC
Verify the checksums by ensuring the outputs of the following 2 commands are the same.
Extract the offline-preparation.json
file.
Find your validator keystores on your machine.
Example output:
Copy the keystores you want to exit into the $HOME folder. The exact command will depend on your actual file paths.
Example:
Then change the owner of this copied validators
folder to your current user.
Copy the offline-preparation.json and ethdo files into each validator keystore folders in $HOME.
Generate exit message
List all your validator keys.
Change directory into the validator key you want to exit.
Example:
List the actual file name of your validator key.
Example:
Generate the validator exit message for each of that key.
Note: Replace KEYSTORE_FILENAME
and KEYSTORE_PASSWORD
with actual values without removing the quotation marks.
If successful, no output will be generated by the terminal.
Print out the exit message.
Example:
Copy the entire output and go to the message broadcasting tool of holesky.beaconcha.in to broadcast your exit message.
Paste your exit message in the text field and hit submit.
Congratulations! Your validator key will be exited soon but in the meantime, you will have to keep your validator node running until your key is fully exited.
Repeat the "Generate Exit Message" section for all other keys you want to exit.
