voluntary-exit

Create and sign a voluntary exit for the specified validator or set of validators.
This subcommand can be run as a separate Teku process.

caution

To submit a voluntary exit, you must have a running beacon node with the REST API enabled.

beacon-node-api-endpoint

teku voluntary-exit --beacon-node-api-endpoint=<ENDPOINT>

Endpoint of the beacon node's REST API. The default is http://127.0.0.1:5051.

config-file

teku voluntary-exit --config-file=<FILE>

Path to the YAML configuration file. The default is none.

confirmation-enabled

teku voluntary-exit --confirmation-enabled=<BOOLEAN>

Specify whether to request confirmation when exiting a validator. The default is true.

warning

If you set --confirmation-enabled to false, exits are generated immediately without any prompt.

epoch

teku voluntary-exit --epoch=<EPOCH>

Earliest epoch that the voluntary exit can be processed. The specified epoch can be a past epoch, or current epoch. You cannot specify a future epoch. The default is the current epoch.

note

If there is a high number of validators that are queued to exit, then the validator exit may be processed at a later epoch.

include-keymanager-keys

teku voluntary-exit --include-keymanager-keys=<BOOLEAN>

Include validator keys managed using the key manager APIs. The default is false.

network

teku voluntary-exit --network=<NETWORK>

Predefined network configuration. There is no default value, because Teku reads the network specification from the Beacon API unless specified.

save-exits-path

teku voluntary-exit --save-exits-path=<PATH>

Path at which to save the generated exit messages. This option creates but doesn't submit an exit. It doesn't validate the exit epoch, and doesn't publish the exit messages.

validator-keys

teku voluntary-exit --validator-keys=<KEY_DIR>:<PASS_DIR> | <KEY_FILE>:<PASS_FILE>[,<KEY_DIR>:<PASS_DIR> | <KEY_FILE>:<PASS_FILE>...]...

Directory or file to load the encrypted keystores and passwords of the validators that you wish to exit. Keystore files must use the .json file extension, and password files must use the .txt file extension.

When specifying directories, Teku expects to find identically named keystore and password files. For example validator_217179e.json and validator_217179e.txt.

When specifying file names, Teku expects that the files exist.

note

The path separator is operating system dependent, and should be ; in Windows rather than :.

validator-public-keys

teku voluntary-exit --validator-public-keys=<PUBKEY>[,<PUBKEY>...]...

Restrict the exit command to a specified list of public keys. When the parameter is not used, all keys will be exited.

validators-external-signer-keystore

teku voluntary-exit --validators-external-signer-keystore=<FILE>

The keystore that Teku presents to the external signer for TLS authentication. Teku can use PKCS12 or JKS keystore types.

Use the PKCS12 keystore type if connecting to Web3Signer.

validators-external-signer-keystore-password-file

teku voluntary-exit --validators-external-signer-keystore-password-file=<FILE>

Password file used to decrypt the keystore.

validators-external-signer-public-keys

teku voluntary-exit --validators-external-signer-public-keys=<KEY>[,<KEY>...]

List of public keys of validators that you wish to voluntarily exit when using an external signer (for example, Web3Signer).

validators-external-signer-timeout

teku voluntary-exit --validators-external-signer-timeout=<INTEGER>

Timeout in milliseconds for requests to the external signer. The default is 5000.

validators-external-signer-truststore

teku voluntary-exit --validators-external-signer-truststore=<FILE>

PKCS12 or JKS keystore used to trust external signer's self-signed certificate or CA certificate which signs the external signer's certificate.

validators-external-signer-truststore-password-file

teku voluntary-exit --validators-external-signer-truststore-password-file=<FILE>

Password file used to decrypt the keystore.

validators-external-signer-url

teku voluntary-exit --validators-external-signer-url=<URL>

URL of the external signer (for example, Web3Signer).
