Prysm

This guide ensures that users can easily follow the steps to withdraw their validator using Prysm on PulseChain, both for testnet and mainnet.

Prerequisites

Ensure the paths to your validator_keys (keystore) and wallet (password) folders are correct.

• The beacon-rpc-provider should point to the correct RPC endpoint for your beacon node.

• The URLs provided at the end will allow you to track the status of your validator's exit.

Step 1: Run the Prysm Validator Exit Command

This will initiate the exit process for your validator.

You will need to change your path where your wallet is located. For example, the path below shows /mnt/pulsetest/wallet:/wallet

sudo docker run -it --rm --net=host \
  -v "/mnt/pulsetest/wallet:/wallet" \
  registry.gitlab.com/pulsechaincom/prysm-pulse/prysmctl:v2.2.5 \
  validator exit \
  --wallet-dir=/wallet \
  --beacon-rpc-provider="127.0.0.1:4000"

Step 2: Follow the Prompt

1. Enter your wallet password when prompted.

2. Select your validator(s) with your arrow keys, then confirm the validator exit by typing Y.

3. Navigate to the URL provided to understand the implications of a voluntary exit.

4. Type the following: Exit my validator, then press Enter.
