# Consolidate your Gnosis validators

After the Pectra hard fork, validator consolidations are ready to use in Gnosis chain.

## Why should I consolidate my Gnosis validators?
If you’ve been running multiple validators on Gnosis Chain, consolidation can simplify your setup and bring several advantages:

#### 1. Simplify Operations

Managing many validator keys and clients can become complex over time. Consolidating them into fewer validators helps reduce:

- Configuration overhead
- Monitoring burden
- Risk of mistakes during upgrades or restarts

#### 2. Optimize Costs

Each validator requires independent infrastructure resources. By consolidating:

- You use less disk space, bandwidth, and processing power
- You reduce maintenance costs and time
- Fewer fees are required for transactions like reward claims

#### 3. Better Reward Management
Instead of tracking rewards across many validators:

- You centralize rewards into one or a few validator balances
- Easier accounting and reporting
- Less gas spent claiming rewards

#### 4. Safe process
Consolidation does not change your withdrawal address or risk your funds. It simply merges balances and validator responsibilities in a protocol-safe way.

## How do I consolidate my Gnosis validators?
Step 1: Go to https://consolidate.gnosischain.com/

Step 2: Connect your wallet. Remember to use the **same address** with which you did the staking deposit of your validators.

Step 3: You will see a list of **your active validators** in the UI.

Step 4: Click Summary button

Step 5: Check the validator list and the **target validator**. The target validator will stay and the rest will be exited. Click Consolidate Batch

Step 10. Review the consolidation process.

The consolidation process might take **2-3 days**. It depends on the consolidation queue at the moment of consolidation.

Now you are ready to consolidate your Gnosis validators.
Good luck!
