- spelling fixes - use the correct sintax for notes - em-dashes should be em-dashes (`—`): double dashes (`--`) are not rendered properly - fix a link (was to a .html, should be to .md) - add missing dots - every sentence should be on a separate line: it makes future diffs much nicer and easier to spot the changes

# Run a validator
|
|
|
|
Once your beacon node is [running](./quick-start.md), the next step is to set up a validator.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip "No validator client needed"
|
|
Unlike other beacon chain clients, Nimbus does not require setting up a separate validator client process — the beacon node can itself perform validator duties.
|
|
|
|
This is a simple, safe and efficient way to get started.
|
|
|
|
Advanced users may want to use a separate [validator client](./validator-client.md) process instead.
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
### 1. Deposit
|
|
|
|
[Make a deposit](./deposit.md) for your validator.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Import
|
|
|
|
[Import your validator keys](./keys.md) into Nimbus.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Validate
|
|
|
|
[Start performing duties](./connect-eth2.md) by restarting the node.
|
|
|
|
Congratulations!

|
|
|
!!! success "What next?"
|
|
While that's all there is to it, it is essential that you both [keep an eye on your validator](keep-an-eye.md) and [keep Nimbus updated](keep-updated.md) regularly 💫
