A short guide to set up staking on Ethereum with ChainUp Cloud.
Prerequisites
a. A compatible wallet (currently only supports Metamask) that holds more than 32 Eth
b. Generate deposit_data-timestamp.json
which can be done through the deposit-cli tool.
Specifically, what we actually need is the withdrawal_credentials
within the deposit_data-timestamp.json
1. Uploading deposit_data
