Register Validator

This page shows how to programmatically register a validator on SSV Network with the SSV SDK.

Prerequisites

Before using this example, make sure you have:

• Valid keyshares for the validator
• The amount of ETH to deposit during registration
• The SDK initialized with a walletClient

Register Validator

Use sdk.clusters.registerValidators to register a validator and deposit ETH into the cluster as part of the registration transaction.

import { parseEther } from 'viem';

try {
  const txnReceipt = await sdk.clusters.registerValidators({
      args: {
          keyshares: keysharesPayload,
          depositAmount: parseEther('0.1234✎'),
      },
  }).then(tx => tx.wait());

  console.log('Transaction receipt:', txnReceipt);
} catch (error) {
  logErrorToFile(error);
  console.error('Failed to register validators:', error);
}

After successful registration, you can verify the validator and cluster details in the SSV Explorer.
