Eth2 Quickstart

Automates production-ready Ethereum node setup on Linux servers — execution client, consensus client, MEV integration, OS hardening, and optional RPC exposure. Supports 7 execution clients (Geth, Besu, Nethermind, Erigon, Reth, Nimbus-eth1, Ethrex) and 6 consensus clients (Prysm, Lighthouse, Teku, Nimbus, Lodestar, Grandine).

This skill is repo-aware: it runs inside an eth2-quickstart checkout and routes all actions through ./scripts/eth2qs.sh. It never invents new lifecycle commands.

Install

# Recommended
clawhub install eth2-quickstart

# Or clone directly
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/chimera-defi/eth2-quickstart.git
cd eth2-quickstart

What agents can do with this skill

• Bootstrap a fresh host: detect the next safe install step and execute it
• Check node health: machine-readable JSON output from doctor --json
• Operate services: start, stop, restart, view logs
• Update clients: update-all covers all installed components
• Safe cleanup: clean-data --dry-run shows what would be removed before any deletion; secrets and validator keystores are always preserved

Commands

# Detect the next safe install step (machine-readable)
./scripts/eth2qs.sh plan --json

# Preview next step without executing
./scripts/eth2qs.sh ensure

# Execute next step (requires explicit confirmation)
./scripts/eth2qs.sh ensure --apply --confirm

# Install Ethereum node (execution + consensus + MEV)
sudo ./scripts/eth2qs.sh phase1
./scripts/eth2qs.sh phase2 --execution=geth --consensus=prysm --mev=mev-boost

# Health check
./scripts/eth2qs.sh doctor --json

# Operate
./scripts/eth2qs.sh start
./scripts/eth2qs.sh stop
./scripts/eth2qs.sh logs --run2 -n 200
./scripts/eth2qs.sh stats

# Cleanup (always dry-run first)
./scripts/eth2qs.sh clean-data --dry-run
./scripts/eth2qs.sh clean-data --confirm
sudo ./scripts/eth2qs.sh cleanup-host --dry-run
