We will use Metamask as our ethereum wallet. You can install it from [here](https://metamask.io). Do not lose the password and paraphrase for your wallet.

Do not lose this password, you will need it to get your money back at some point. **This is not your wallet password**, select a new password just for the validator client. After selecting the password you will get a seed phrase to store in case you lost your validator password. Store the seed phase in a secure location as well.

You can either create a local eth1 client or use a 3rd party node instead. Let's use a 3rd party today. Open a free [alchemyapi.io](https://dashboard.alchemyapi.io/signup?referral=5f4b22ad-1a24-46af-ab1c-4475e8fe177d) and [create an app](https://dashboard.alchemyapi.io/apps). Make sure you select the `Goerli` network for your eth1 node.

By now you have a cloud server running a beacon node and validator client. You should wait 5-10 hours until your beacon node is fully synced. Once your node is synced it's time to finish the transaction by sending 32ETH to the validator contract.
Go back to the launchpad site you left open and move to the next step. You will be requested to upload your `deposit-data-[timestamp].json` file. Upload the file that contains your validator public key so it can be registered in the network.

The next step is to pay the ETH.
On the next screen, you will be requested to connect your local wallet. I'm using Metamask in this tutorial.
Once you connected your Metamask wallet you will be prompted to transfer eth to the contract address. **Validate that you are on the Goerli Test Network before sending any coins**. Also double-check the contract address and once you're comfortable, click Confirm.
