sidecar

This module contains an implementation of the distributed key generation sidecar for SSV nodes to join staker-chosen groups of validators to perform Ethereum validation duties on behalf of stakers who don't wish to run their own hardware.

steps

  • sign public key and upload to repo
  • start your SSV node (or stub)
  • start your sidecar

example commands

  • generate a BLS12-381 keypair
$ ssv-sidecar key create ~/.ssv
  • sign your key for uploading it to GitHub
$ ssv-sidecar key sign --validator-nonce 2 --directory ~/.ssv --url https://example.org | jq
{
  "validator_nonce": 2,
  "address": "https://example.org",
  "public": "Som3bas364stRing==",
  "signature": "Som3bas364stRing==",
}

  • start your SSV node (or a stubbed node, which can be found in ../tools/stub)

  • start your sidecar node

$ ssv-sidecar start --port 443 --directory ~/.ssv --ssv-url http://127.0.0.1:8888
