Nethermind has the two flags --Sync.AncientBodiesBarrier and --Sync.AncientReceiptsBarrier. By default, they are set to 11052984 as you can see here. The downloaded chain is smaller with the barrier set this way, but some automated setups like eth-docker set these barriers to 1.

A lot of people are configuring manually their staking machine. But I find much easier to use docker version like eth-docker (https://github.com/eth-educators/eth-docker). So a lot of love for yorickdowne for his github and all he is doing in the ethstaker discord and elsewhere. I have not seen if he has a gitcoin grant. I will definitely donate.

I'll point you at code for that. I'm kinda doing drive-by Reddit right now because busy with merge prep. Here's an example of how to enable the REST API on a Prysm CL, so other VCs such as Lighthouse or Teku could connect to it.

seconding eth-docker or eth-wizard. eth-docker was developed by /u/yorickdowne and eth-wizard by /u/remyroy - both members of EthStaker and both some of the smartest people I know. They're both audited, open source, and automate the staking process.

There's eth-wizard which is a GUI setup wizard and DappNode GUI, and soon there will be NiceNode
