# How to run a node on the Zhejiang testnet?
## Who is this guide for?
This guide is meant to be a starting point and provides a mid-level summary of the required steps. It is not intended to be a beginner's guide, so copying and running commands from here may not work without some tweaking.
The testnet is meant to mimic a chain that is post-merge. Therefore, the genesis state will be in a merged state. The chain will have to go through a fork on both EL and CL at the same time. This fork is called Shanghai on the EL side and Capella on the CL side. These two events will be triggered simultaneously.
This is achieved by EL forking at a specific time rather than at a block number, and CL forking at a specific epoch.
## What is in the Zhejiang testnet?
The Zhejiang testnet aims to test the following features:
- [EIP-3651](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-3651): Warm COINBASE
- [EIP-3855](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-3855): PUSH0 instruction
- [EIP-3860](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-3860): Limit and meter initcode
- [EIP-4895](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4895): Beacon chain push withdrawals as operations
- [EIP-6049](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-6049): Deprecate SELFDESTRUCT
- [EIP-6122](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-6122): Forkid checks based on timestamps
- [v1.3.0-rc.2](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/releases/tag/v1.3.0-rc.2) @ 67c2...44e1 Conensus layer specs
A Zhejiang testnet will be launched on the 1st of Feb at 15:00 UTC 2023 that implements all the final Shanghai EIPs.
The shanghai-capella (shapella) fork will take place exactly 6 days later, on the 7th of Feb at 15:00 UTC 2023. This is timestamp 1675782000 / epoch 1350. To verify, this timestamp, you can verify the timestamp with [this](https://www.epochconverter.com) tool.
More details about these other changes can be found [here](https://github.com/ethereum/execution-specs/blob/master/network-upgrades/mainnet-upgrades/shanghai.md#eips-considered-for-inclusion)
The JSON-RPC endpoint, faucet, and other tooling URLs can be found on https://zhejiang.ethpandaops.io/
### Feature explanation:
#### Withdrawals
The partial withdrawals feature will be automatically triggered on all addresses that already have `0x01` withdrawal credentials set. For those that use `0x00` (legacy BLS credentials), they will need to first change their credentials from `0x00` to `0x01` before this feature can be tested.
#### BLS to Execution Changes
Changing `0x00` to `0x01` credential is currently only supported by a single tool [ethdo](https://github.com/wealdtech/ethdo/blob/master/docs/changingwithdrawalcredentials.md). Hopefully, over time there will be multiple different tools that offer this functionality. A detailed description of how to convert your address and trigger a full exit is described in another guide (all instructions done with docker!) that can be found [here](https://notes.ethereum.org/@launchpad/withdrawals-guide).

## Preparation
Download the configs from https://github.com/ethpandaops/withdrawals-testnet/tree/master/zhejiang-testnet/custom_config_data.
```shell=
git clone https://github.com/ethpandaops/withdrawals-testnet.git
cd withdrawals-testnet/zhejiang-testnet/custom_config_data
```
Generate the JWT secret with openssl
```shell=
openssl rand -hex 32 | tr -d "\n" > "/tmp/jwtsecret"
```
This file needs to be passed to both the Execution Client and the Consensus Client. If you do not specify a JWT secret, then the execution and/or consensus layer client will automatically generate one for you. You will then have to specify this secret in the Consensus Layer client.

# Execution layer conclusions
After starting the client, you will be able to interact with the client using the following ports:
* localhost:8545: Web3 json rpc
* localhost:8550: Engine json rpc
* localhost:8551: Engine json rpc with json rpc authentication
* jwt.hex in the repository where you ran the rpcdaemon: verification key for JWT authentication

To import the validator keys from `custom_config_data/lodestar` and enter the password you used to generate the keystore file:
```shell=
./lodestar validator import \
--dataDir="../lodestar-datadir/validator-data" \
--importKeystores="<path/to/validator_keys>"
```
To run a validator:
```shell=
./lodestar validator \
--paramsFile="../config.yaml" \
--dataDir="../lodestar-datadir/validator-data" \
--keystoresDir="../lodestar-datadir/validator-data/keystores" \

## Teku
Pre-requisites: `git, java`
Ensure Java 11 or above is installed (Ubuntu: sudo apt install default-jre).
```shell=
git clone https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku.git
cd teku
./gradlew installDist
cd ..
```
The teku executable is now available in ./teku/build/install/teku/bin/teku. You can also use the pre-built distribution or the consensys/teku:develop docker image.
From the `custom_config_data` folder start the client
```shell=
./teku/build/install/teku/bin/teku \

```shell=
bazel run //validator:validator -- accounts import \
--accept-terms-of-use \
--wallet-dir=$prysmdir/validator-data \
--keys-dir=<path/to/validator/keys>
```
To start the validator client, make sure you have created a secret file (containing with your secret info in) and call it `prysm-dir/validator-data/secret.txt`. Then it will not prompt you at each startup.
```shell=
bazel run //cmd/validator -- \
--accept-terms-of-use=true \

## Nimbus
Pre-requisites: `git, make, gcc`
Ensure that the websocket related flags (--ws) are present on your EL (e.g: Geth). Nethermind enables websockets by default. Nimbus can use either http or ws.
Clone and build from source (use branch unstable)
```shell=
git clone --branch=unstable https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2.git
cd nimbus-eth2
make update
make -j4 nimbus_beacon_node
cd ..
```
Start the beaconchain client

Import your validator keys:
```shell=
nimbus-eth2/build/nimbus_beacon_node deposits import \
--data-dir=nimbus-datadir \
<path/to/validator/keys>
```
Now restart your nimbus with the same command as when you first time started, and the validator keys will be loaded up already.
It is also possible to have a separate validator process for nimbus. More info on how to do this can be found [here](https://nimbus.guide/validator-client.html).
