Spin it up - spin up your own Ethereum validator on testnet

Duration: 01:22:17

Speaker: Gabriella Sofia, Jennifer Parak

Type: Workshop

Expertise:

Event: Devcon

Date: Oct 2022

This workshop aims to be an essential introduction to Ethereum PoS consensus by inspecting its underlying infrastructure. We will first demystify concepts such as Execution + Consensus layer, PoS validation, Keys and Signatures, and Slashing. You will learn by watching when we demo how to spin up a validator using the Lighthouse validator client. You will learn by doing when we give you some time to spin up a validator yourself and experiment with the setup.

Building with Intention: Achieving System Qualities through Design Choices

Technical and design decisions should be viewed as means to achieving broader system qualities rather than ends in themselves. This talk reorients our focus on the underlying goals of these decisions, exploring why we build the way we do, what we aim to achieve, and whether there are better ways to reach comparable outcomes. Through examples and case studies, attendees will learn to critically evaluate their design choices and understand the broader implications of their technical strategies.
