Validator deposits

[bilaljawed]

Hey @nisdas

I recently sent a deposit to the address 0x4242... and am trying to reduce the deposit detection time by validators in the beacon. To achieve this, I set the flag in the beacon to --slots-per-archive-point=10. Now, I'm querying the beacon node API at /eth/v1/beacon/states/head/validators. Is this the correct approach, or have I overlooked something?

Is it the right way or am i missing something?

Appreciate your help

hello Mr. @bilaljawed I just wondering does the solution that u used is worked for you?(--slots-per-archive-point=10).

I also deposit to contract so I can check the validator status is DEPOSITED but After 4000 blocks there status still show DEPOSITED...
If you don't mind how do you make the validator status to ACTIVATED?

@GGiGGu

--slots-per-archive-point=10 is not the solution

It takes around 16-17 hours for it to activate, there is some setting in config.yml to reduce this time, i don't have the settings handy right now, are you also running the validator software?

Yup I'm using geth for execution, prysm for beacon and validator.

But I'm stuck at changing validator status "DEPOSITED" to NEXT STATUS...
I was looking for another solution after I waited about 4000 blocks to be a validator. And I just checked it's still "DEPOSITED" after 20000 blocks...

"there is some setting in config.yml to reduce this time" is # Time parameters?

If you don't mind Could you briefly check my commands?

@bilaljawed @GGiGGu Hey guys I also have similar problem.

I just wondering how did you guys deposit to contract on private-chain?
I tried "ethereal" tool to deposit to contract, but it's not working for me...

Thanks for reading my question....^^

--interop-eth1data-votes --chain-config-file config.yml

@GGiGGu Remove the flag --interop-eth1data-votes and it should work. From Prysm docs:
"Enable mocking of eth1 data votes for proposers to package into blocks (default: false)"

You will never get consensus on the eth1 votes when they are mocked.

To speed up deposits being picked up, reduce the following timing parameters in config.yml. For example:

ETH1_FOLLOW_DISTANCE: 4
EPOCHS_PER_ETH1_VOTING_PERIOD: 2
