# Mainnet checklist
|
|
|
|
## Latest software
|
|
|
|
Please check that you are running the latest stable [Nimbus software release](https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/releases).
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
In order to stay on top of new releases you should subscribe to [our mailing list](https://subscribe.nimbus.team/).
|
|
|
|
## More than 15 peers
|
|
|
|
Please check that your node has at least 15 peers.
|
|
To monitor your peer count, pay attention to the [`Slot start` messages in your logs](keep-an-eye.md#keep-track-of-your-syncing-progress).
|
|
See the [networking page](networking.md) for more tips.
|
|
|
|
## Validator attached
|
|
|
|
Please check that your [validator is attached](keep-an-eye.md#make-sure-your-validator-is-attached) to your node.
|
|
|
|
## Systemd
|
|
|
|
We recommend [setting up a systemd service](beacon-node-systemd.md) with an autorestart on boot.
|
|
Should you experience an unexpected power outage, this will ensure your validator restarts correctly.
|
|
|
|
Systemd will also ensure your validator keeps running when you exit your ssh session (`Ctrl-C`) and/or switch off your laptop.
|

|
## Ethereum Foundation's Checklist
|
|
|
|
As a final check, we recommend you also go through the EF'S [staker checklist](https://launchpad.ethereum.org/en/checklist).
