 You need to declare any client settings that aren't default at the start. You can use flags or the config file to declare your preferred configuration. Set of features and config syntax of each client differs. Check out your client's documentation for the specifics.
 
 Execution and consensus clients communicate via an authenticated endpoint specified in [Engine API](https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/tree/main/src/engine). In order to connect to a consensus client, the execution client must generate a [`jwtsecret`](https://jwt.io/) at a known path. For security and stability reasons, clients should run on the same machine, and both clients must know this path as it is used to authenticate a local RPC connection between them. The execution client must also define a listening port for authenticated APIs.

 If you plan to run a validator, make sure to add a configuration flag specifying the Ethereum address of the fee recipient. This is where ether rewards for your validator accumulate. Each consensus client has an option, e.g. `--suggested-fee-recipient=0xabcd1`, that takes an Ethereum address as an argument.

 When a consensus client connects to the execution client to read the deposit contract and identify validators, it also connects to other Beacon Node peers and begins syncing consensus slots from genesis. Once the Beacon Node reaches the current epoch, the Beacon API becomes usable for your validators. Learn more about [Beacon Node APIs](https://eth2docs.vercel.app/).

 Running your own validator allows for [solo staking](https://ethereum.org/en/staking/solo/), the most impactful and trustless method to support the Ethereum network. However, this requires a deposit of 32 ETH. To run a validator on your own node with a smaller amount, a decentralized pool with permissionless node operators, such as [Rocket Pool](https://rocketpool.net/node-operators), might interest you.
 
-The easiest way to get started with staking and validator key generation is to use the [Prater Testnet Staking Launchpad](https://prater.launchpad.ethereum.org/), which allows you to test your setup by [running nodes on Goerli](https://notes.ethereum.org/@launchpad/goerli). When you're ready for Mainnet, you can repeat these steps using the [Mainnet Staking Launchpad](https://launchpad.ethereum.org/). Make sure to check [Mainnet readiness checklist](https://launchpad.ethereum.org/en/merge-readiness) to smoothly run your validator through the Merge.
