Lighthouse: Introduction to Siren by Ricki Moore | Devcon SEA

[Music] [Music] good afternoon I Am Maverick I am a lighthouse engineer working at Sigma Prime Lighthouse is a consist client maintaining around 33% of the entire ethum network and today we want to introduce siren uh before we get started I want to ask a couple of questions who here feels confident they can set up and configure a validator all on their own okay who here feels they would struggle to set up a validator even if they had a video tutorial and a guide okay if that's you don't worry it's okay it's totally normal to feel like you're not technical enough to maintain a validator as a matter of fact Lighthouse has plenty of people that self-identify as noobs validating the network and we always encourage them to participate and to ask questions when no prior knowledge required and this is kind of the reason why we what led us to making sain We Believe staking could be easy accessible and reliable if an increase in home validators leads to more decentralization which increases ethereum security then we must work hard to lower the technical barrier of Entry preventing average users from committing to become validators okay so this is siren with this goal and user profile in mind we created a user interface that will help sell the stakers at home you can track validators you can track statuses log updates and much more all on one location on our super sexy dashboard that comes in light and dark mode with minimal configuration siren connects directly to your uh Lighthouse value client and your beacon node allowing to to communicate communicate and consume data securely users have the option to install siren U via our Sigma Prime Docker containers or to download it and build it locally for some of our super users out there once activated siren allows you to manage your Val validators from any device on your home network or externally using a SSH um or VPN access so let's go over some features already uh out on siren it's super easy to uh track your valary sync statuses to get a breakdown of your total rewards which includes eth currency rates and earning estimates you can you can get an aggregated validated list that checks on the status the balance of aggregated of of rewards and Etc keep track of dis space CPU uh usage RAM usage on the machine that's running Lighthouse you can see how long your nose have been running if you have warnings telling you if you're falling behind blocks perer data um some key uh more features are you can uh get notified of critical and error logs which include statistics on rates um you can monitor logs as they arrive in real time uh and use a search bar and find specific log data to copy and paste log information into the Discord if you need help uh so what are some of the key actions you can update your validator graffiti at a click of a button for those OG validators with double O withdrawal addresses you can use siren to execute your BLS actions uh and lastly when you're ready you can if you're ready to call it quits in just a few steps you can exit your validator safely and securely all right so what's next for siren and what are we working on coming very very soon sir will enable uh validated deposits uh for those who already have a Val home validator you may have used the E ethereum staking Launchpad that create your validator but through this you were required to know the command line you were required to make your own deposit Json your key stores and uh import your validator into Lighthouse yourself now with siren there was supposed to be a video here um now with siren you'll be able to take care of all of that on your own um siren condenses the entire flow into just a few steps um allowing uh full guidance and validation so you don't wreck yourself when you're moving 32 East hopefully soon one eth when we reduce uh the fees down to to one eth okay uh so we're preparing for the Petra upgrade as well EIP 7251 the upgrade will increase the max effect of balance from 32 to 248 um this will enable validators to also consolidate uh this will allow stakers to merge their validators together which will help reduce operational overhead and so s will enable this for all the lighthouse users to be first in line in the cons consolidation queue um the moment pectra goes live and if you have any questions or you're interested um want to reach out to the team just follow this and join us on Discord we have a huge supportive community and uh a Dev team that will like to help out uh this was made possible by the sigma Prime team and that was it was lightning talk uh and I'm I'm standing right behind you we have we have one or two questions um that we I think we can handle in a minute first question what's best light or dark mode dark mode all right this is rapid fire um are there docks and how do I start using it yes we do have docks it's a uh you can find them on the Lighthouse book you just follow it and then there's a section for siren itself
