# 运行你自己的验证器

使用  [**ChainUp Cloud**](https://cloud.chainup.com/)  作为验证器服务提供商来设置以太坊验证器的简短指南。如果您只是想质押 Eth，建议您查看以太坊质押指南  [**Ethereum Staking Guide**](/zhong-wen/introduction/for-investors/how-to-stake.md)。

### **Prerequisites**

**a.** A compatible wallet (currently only supports [**Metamask**](https://metamask.io/)) that holds more than 32 Eth

**b.** Generate Validator Keys (`keystore_timestamp.json`), which can be done through the Ethereum launchpad ([**Mainnet**](https://launchpad.ethereum.org/en/overview), [**Goerli**](https://goerli.launchpad.ethereum.org/en/)) and the [**deposit-cli tool**](https://github.com/ethereum/staking-deposit-cli/releases/). 

**c.** Deposit 32 Eth (with your `deposit_data-timestamp.json`) either through the [**Abyss Eth2 Depositer**](https://abyss.finance/eth2depositor) (which currently supports only [**Mainnet**](https://etherscan.io/address/0xFA5f9EAa65FFb2A75de092eB7f3fc84FC86B5b18) and [**Goerli**](https://goerli.etherscan.io/address/0x2cB1A746A8652dfbb0FC11BdA71Bd991EB2Fd52e)) or Ethereum launchpad ([**Mainnet**](https://launchpad.ethereum.org/en/upload-deposit-data), [**Goerli**](https://goerli.launchpad.ethereum.org/en/upload-deposit-data)).

{% hint style="info" %}
We assume users have already completed all the prerequisites prior to reaching this step
{% endhint %}

**Step 2:** Choose the network you are going to use and connect your [**Metamask**](https://metamask.io/) wallet.

{% hint style="info" %}
[**ChainUp Cloud**](https://cloud.chainup.com/) is still providing support for the Ropsten Testnet. You can manually add the Ropsten network to your wallet with our [**Blockchain API**](/zhong-wen/introduction/products/blockchain-api.md).
{% endhint %}

**Step 3:** If you have deposited 32 Eth through the official staking launchpad or [**Abyss Eth2 Depositer**](https://abyss.finance/eth2depositor) (prerequisites **b** and **c**), the wallet details should be reflected on the dashboard.

**Step 4:** Create validator by checking **Yes** for the following two options.&#x20;

**Step 5:**  Import the keys (`keystore_timestamp.json`) and password - this has been generated from the `deposit-cli` tool by following the [**video above**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jpzo9qOaP8\&ab_channel=ConsenSysMedia).&#x20;

**Step 6:** Done and set! You can now click through the confirmation steps and validator should be active soon.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
After the initial 32 Eth deposit, you may check back after some time or so, as it may take [**more than 12 hours**](https://kb.beaconcha.in/ethereum-2.0-depositing) for a transaction to reach the deposit contract on Beacon Chain.
