Launching a Public Ethereum PoS Network: Seeking Guidance

[Toni-d-e-v]

Hello Crypto community!

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm reaching out to discuss an exciting project that we're embarking on—a transition from our current Dash fork to a new Ethereum Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network. We're eager to learn more about this process and create our own decentralized network, and I'm hoping to gather insights and guidance from the community.

Here are some key points we're looking to address:

• Genesis File Creation: We're in need of a tool or method for creating genesis files for our Ethereum PoS network. If you have experience with this or know of any helpful resources, please share!

• Setting Up a Public Network with Validators: Our goal is to establish a public network where community members can participate as validators. We plan to initially run a couple of core validators managed by our team, then allow community members to set up their own validator nodes and stake their coins. Any advice on this process, including technical considerations and best practices, would be greatly appreciated.

• Premine and Coin Swap: We intend to premine the initial supply of our new coin and facilitate the swap from our old coin to the new one on the network. If you have experience with managing premines and conducting coin swaps, we'd love to hear about your insights and recommendations.

We're a non-profit community driven by a passion for crypto and decentralization, and we're excited to embark on this journey. Our aim is to learn, collaborate, and contribute to the growth of the blockchain ecosystem.

If you have any knowledge, resources, or advice to share regarding the topics mentioned above—or if you're simply interested in joining us on this adventure—please don't hesitate to chime in. Let's work together to make our vision of a decentralized Ethereum PoS network a reality!

Thank you all for your support and guidance.

We're currently exploring the possibility of using Besu and QBFT (Quorum Byzantine Fault Tolerance) consensus mechanism for our network. However, we're open to exploring alternative options if needed, and we'd greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions from the community.
