Simplify Operations + +Managing many validator keys and clients can become complex over time. Consolidating them into fewer validators helps reduce: + +- Configuration overhead +- Monitoring burden +- Risk of mistakes during upgrades or restarts + +#### 2. Optimize Costs + +Each validator requires independent infrastructure resources. By consolidating: + +- You use less disk space, bandwidth, and processing power +- You reduce maintenance costs and time +- Fewer fees are required for transactions like reward claims + +#### 3. Better Reward Management +Instead of tracking rewards across many validators: + +- You centralize rewards into one or a few validator balances +- Easier accounting and reporting +- Less gas spent claiming rewards + +#### 4. Safe process +Consolidation does not change your withdrawal address or risk your funds. It simply merges balances and validator responsibilities in a protocol-safe way. + +## How do I consolidate my Gnosis validators? +Step 1: Go to https://consolidate.gnosischain.com/ + +Step 2: Connect your wallet. Remember to use the **same address** with which you did the staking deposit of your validators. +![wallet](/img/continue.png) + +Step 3: You will see a list of **your active validators** in the UI. +![summary](/img/summary.png) +Step 4: Click Summary button + +Step 5: Check the validator list and the **target validator**. The target validator will stay and the rest will be exited. Click Consolidate Batch +![List_validators](/img/list_validators.png) + + +Step 6: The transaction was sent, click **Finish**. You can check the transaction in the explorer link. +![Finish](/img/finish.png) + +Step 7: To have more details, go to gnosischa.in to check the consolidation progress. +![deposits_validator](/img/deposits_validator.png) + +Step 8: **Write your address** in the search field highlighted. +![write_address](/img/write_address.png) +Step 9.

Review the consolidation process. +![consolidation_click](/img/consolidation_click.png) + + + +The consolidation process might take **2-3 days**. It depends on the consolidation queue at the moment of consolidation. + +Now you are ready to consolidate your Gnosis validators. +Good luck! \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/sidebars.js b/sidebars.js index 2981fc501..09d386eaf 100644 --- a/sidebars.js +++ b/sidebars.js @@ -248,8 +248,8 @@ const sidebars = { }, { type: "doc", - label: "Gnosis Validators Consolidation", - id: "user/staking/gnosis-chain/consolidate-gnosis-validators", + label: "Consolidate Gnosis Validators", + id: "user/staking/gnosis-chain/consolidation-gnosis", }, ], },
