How to become a validator on Eth2

On December 1, 2020, the launch of the zero phase of Ethereum 2.0 took place. This is the first step in the transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. Years of hard work are finally beginning to bear fruit. The Eth2 deposit contract already has more than 1.5 million ETH (~ 1 billion dollars), and at the moment staking brings validators an income of 12.7% per year in ETH.





We present to your attention the instructions on how to become a validator on the Ethereum 2.0 Mainnet.





Many thanks to  Colin Myers  and  Mara Schmidt  for preparing this guide. I hope it will be useful to community members who decide to become Eth2 validators. ?
