Recover Validator Keystores

You can recover validator keystores that are active.

IconSlashing Prevention

Before starting validators with recovered keystores, ensure the original validators have been stopped and at least 2 epochs have passed. Running the same keys on two machines simultaneously will result in slashing.

IconSecurity Notice

Protect your mnemonic — it can be used to regenerate your validator keys.
