staking-deposit-cli VS wagyu-key-gen

I am looking for a way to automatically create deposit data. So far I tried https://github.com/ethereum/staking-deposit-cli but although it offers a --non_interactive flag it still asks for an encryption password for the keystore files. Are there any other open source tools? I really don't want to fork and maintain my own version of the deposit cli.

First, you need to generate new keys using the staking deposit CLI software. It is recommended to do this on an offline computer. You can generate a new mnemonic phrase, but it seems simpler to reuse the same one as your other validators.

I am trying to setup a local devnet in my computer by using geth and prysm using https://docs.prylabs.network/docs/advanced/proof-of-stake-devnet. I can able to setup network with three execution nodes and three consensus nodes. Now I want to add new validators to the network. I tried with https://github.com/protolambda/eth2-val-tools and https://github.com/ethereum/staking-deposit-cli. I do get keystore-###.json and deposit_data-###.json files.

I’ve been trying to fix the initial language selection screen, and it displays right for me but not for a staking-deposit-cli dev. See https://github.com/ethereum/staking-deposit-cli/pull/325

Deposit cli will support it. See https://github.com/ethereum/staking-deposit-cli/issues/312

Here's a link to the Key Gen described in the video: https://github.com/stake-house/wagyu-key-gen

From the official launchpad, one of the tools suggested is "Wagyu Key Gen". Takes you to a GitHub page where you can download it (https://github.com/stake-house/wagyu-key-gen/releases). A few scrolls down the page, under "Binaries" there is a download link to the .exe file (for Windows). The Windows version is an executable with a nice user interface that is easy to use.

You can verify if your mnemonic or your seed recovery phrase is working by generating your keys again with staking-deposit-cli or Wagyu Key Gen. If the resulting file(s) have the same public key(s) (pubkey field), everything should be good.

While it might be possible to generate your keys with a Ledger device, I would advice against doing it simply because it has more risks. Using eth2-deposit-cli or Wagyu Key Gen should be your main options. You could even reuse the same mnemonic as your Ledger device even if it has some cons like losing it means you potentially lose your wallet value and your validators.

Yes. You can find the github repository on https://github.com/stake-house/wagyu-key-gen
