EthStorage

EthStorage V1 Trusted Ceremoney Setup

Requirements for Participation

1. Operating System

A Linux or macOS system, or Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) if you are on Windows.

2. GitHub Account

Your GitHub account must be active and meet the following criteria:

• Your account must be at least a month old.
• Your account must have at least one public repository.
• Your account must follow at least 5 GitHub accounts and have at least 1 follower.
• You must allow the ceremony tools to read and write GitHub Gists on your account.

3. Internet Connection

A stable and reliable internet connection is required. The most common cause of failure is a timeout due to slow or unstable uploads. To avoid this, ensure you have a good upload bandwidth while participating in the ceremony.

Tips:

• Use VPS if you can't keep your PC & internet open 24/7 till you contribute
• Use PC if you can.

Common Steps after installing Dependencies for MacOS, Linux, WSL

2. Install NVM


curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
source .bashrc

3. Install Node.js 18


nvm install 18 
nvm use 18

source ~/.bashrc

4. Install Ceremony

Step 1. Create a directory in your home folder to run the ceremony from:

mkdir ~/trusted-setup-tmp && cd ~/trusted-setup-tmp

Step 2: Install CLI:

npm install -g @p0tion/phase2cli

Step 3: Authenticate with GitHub:

To contribute to the ceremony, you’ll need a legit GitHub account as per requirements mentioned above. Run this command in your terminal:

phase2cli auth

• This will prompt you to open a browser and visit https://github.com/login/device
• Copy the provided auth code in terminal and paste in the auth page . Click "Authorize ethstorage" to continue.

5. Contribute Ceremony

• Open a screen (For VPS only)

Open a screen so the ceremony keeps going in the background, it might take hours before it’s your turn.

Screen is useful for VPS only, not WSL or MacOS. If you close the terminal in WSL, your screen session is killed

screen -S ceremony

Contribute to the ceremony (ALL)

phase2cli contribute -c ethstorage-v1-trusted-setup-ceremony

You can either hit enter for randomly, or pick manually and type any letter or number yourself.

Screen commands

Minimize screen: Ctrl+A+D Return to screen: screen -r ceremony

Notes:

• Contributing may take some time, depending on the current queue of contributors.
• If your connection is interrupted or an error occurs, simply re-run the same command — it will pick up from where it left off.

After completing your contribution, you will be invited to share a message on X or your preferred social platform! 🎉

Cleanup & Logout

After completing your contribution to the ceremony, it’s recommended to clean up your local files and revoke GitHub authorization for security:

phase2cli clean
phase2cli logout

Delete the ceremony folder too if you don’t need it:

rm -rf ~/trusted-setup-tmp

ALL DONE!
