Devnet 1

The first devnet aim will be to have a number of trusted operators test out our earliest tutorial flows. The aim will be for a single user to complete these tutorials alone, using docker compose to spin up 4 charon clients and 4 different validator clients (lighthouse, teku, lodestar and vouch) on a single machine, with the option of adding a single consensus layer client from a weak subjectivity checkpoint (the default will be to connect to our Kiln RPC server, we shouldn't get too much load for this phase). The keys will be created locally in charon, and activated with the existing launchpad or ethdo.

Participants: Obol Dev Team, Client team advisors.

State: Pre-product

Network: Kiln

Target start date: May 2022

Duration: 1 week

Goals:

• User test a first tutorial flow to get the kinks out of it. Devnet 2 will be a group flow, so we need to get the solo flow right first
• Prove the distributed validator paradigm with 4 separate VC implementations together operating as one logical validator works
• Get the basics of monitoring in place, for the following testnet where accurate monitoring will be important due to charon running across a newtwork.

Test Artifacts:

• Responding to a typeform, an operator will list:
  • The public key of the distributed validator
  • Any difficulties they incurred in the cluster instantiation
  • Any deployment variations they would like to see early support for (e.g. windows, cloud, dappnode etc.)
