You can find the audit report by Trail of Bits [here](https://github.com/trailofbits/publications/blob/master/reviews/ETH2DepositCLI.pdf). ## Tutorial for users ### Build requirements - [Python **3.7+**](https://www.python.org/about/gettingstarted/) - [pip3](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/) ### For Linux or MacOS users #### File Permissions On Unix-based systems, keystores and the `deposit_data*.json` have `440`/`-r--r-----` file permissions (user & group read only). This improves security by limiting which users and processes that have access to these files. If you are getting `permission denied` errors when handling your keystores, consider changing which user/group owns the file (with `chown`) or, if need be, change the file permissions with `chmod`. #### Option 1. Download binary executable file ##### Step 1. Installation See [releases page](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-deposit-cli/releases) to download and decompress the corresponding binary files. ##### Step 2. Create keys and `deposit_data-*.json` Run the following command to enter the interactive CLI and generate keys from a new mnemonic: ```sh ./deposit new-mnemonic ``` or run the following command to enter the interactive CLI and generate keys from an existing: ```sh ./deposit existing-mnemonic ``` ###### language Argument The Launchpad offers many language/internationalization options. If you wish to select one as a CLI argument, it must be passed in before one of the commands is chosen. | Argument | Type | Description | | -------- | -------- | -------- | | `--language` | String. Options: `العربية`, `ελληνικά`, `English`, `Français`, `Bahasa melayu`, `Italiano`, `日本語`, `한국어`, `Português do Brasil`, `român`, `简体中文`. Default to `English` | The language you wish to use the CLI in. | ###### Commands The CLI offers different commands depending on what you want to do with the tool. | Command | Description | | ------- | ----------- | | `new-mnemonic` | (Recommended) This command is used to generate keystores with a new mnemonic. | | `existing-mnemonic` | This command is used to re-generate or derive new keys from your existing mnemonic. Use this command, if (i) you have already generated keys with this CLI before, (ii) you want to reuse your mnemonic that you know is secure that you generated elsewhere (reusing your eth1 mnemonic .etc), or (iii) you lost your keystores and need to recover your keys. | ###### `new-mnemonic` Arguments You can use `new-mnemonic --help` to see all arguments. Note that if there are missing arguments that the CLI needs, it will ask you for them. | Argument | Type | Description | | -------- | -------- | -------- | | `--num_validators` | Non-negative integer | The number of signing keys you want to generate. Note that the child key(s) are generated via the same master key. | | `--mnemonic_language` | String. Options: `简体中文`, `繁體中文`, `český jazyk`, `English`, `Italiano`, `한국어`, `Português`, `Español`. Default to `English` | The mnemonic language | | `--folder` | String. Pointing to `./validator_keys` by default | The folder path for the keystore(s) and deposit(s) | | `--chain` | String. `mainnet` by default | The chain setting for the signing domain. | | `--eth1_withdrawal_address` | String. Eth1 address in hexadecimal encoded form | If this field is set and valid, the given Eth1 address will be used to create the withdrawal credentials. Otherwise, it will generate withdrawal credentials with the mnemonic-derived withdrawal public key in [EIP-2334 format](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2334#eth2-specific-parameters). | ###### `existing-mnemonic` Arguments You can use `existing-mnemonic --help` to see all arguments. Note that if there are missing arguments that the CLI needs, it will ask you for them. | Argument | Type | Description | | -------- | -------- | -------- | | `--validator_start_index` | Non-negative integer | The index of the first validator's keys you wish to generate. If this is your first time generating keys with this mnemonic, use 0. If you have generated keys using this mnemonic before, use the next index from which you want to start generating keys from (eg, if you've generated 4 keys before (keys #0, #1, #2, #3), then enter 4 here.| | `--num_validators` | Non-negative integer | The number of new signing keys you want to generate. Note that the child key(s) are generated via the same master key. | | `--folder` | String. Pointing to `./validator_keys` by default | The folder path for the keystore(s) and deposit(s) | | `--chain` | String. `mainnet` by default | The chain setting for the signing domain. | | `--eth1_withdrawal_address` | String. Eth1 address in hexadecimal encoded form | If this field is set and valid, the given Eth1 address will be used to create the withdrawal credentials. Otherwise, it will generate withdrawal credentials with the mnemonic-derived withdrawal public key in [EIP-2334 format](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2334#eth2-specific-parameters). | ###### Successful message You will see the following messages after successfully generated the keystore(s) and the deposit(s): ```text Creating your keys: [####################################] / Creating your keystores: [####################################] / Creating your depositdata: [####################################] / Verifying your keystores: [####################################] / Verifying your deposits: [####################################] / Success!

You'll probably need to reinstall a given python version using: ``` env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-framework" pyenv install 3.10.2 ```
