Setting up an Ethereum staking node takes some effort, but our smart node stack streamlines this process. Plus the experience can be very rewarding!

Our documentation provides guidance on the necessary hardware & setting up your node securely.

You will also want to try it out on a testnet before using real money. If you have any questions our community have coached thousands of node operators to staking on mainnet.

Once setup a node requires very little maintenance.

You will need to apply software updates which the smart node stack simplifies.

Review our documentation for common maintenance tasks.

You should have some basic monitoring on your Rocket Pool node. The smart node stack comes with it all built-in so it is simple to setup.

We also recommend the Beaconcha.in mobile app for alerting when your node is down.
