Prerequisites

Minimum requirements

The tool is heavily reliant on cryptography, so it will require more resources depending on amount validators being created at once.

The minimum requirement is an AWS t3.medium or equivalent machine dedicated to run DKG (https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/).

The recommend requirement is an AWS t3.large or higher tier machine.

Minimum docker resource allocations:

deploy:
  resources:
    limits:
      cpus: "1"
      memory: 500M

Prerequisites

In order to successfully participate in DKG ceremonies initiated by stakers, you will need to possess and/or provide this information:

• Operator ID - the ID of your operator within the SSV network.

• Operator Key Pair

  • Public Key - the public key of the operator

  • Private Key - the private key of the operator as an password-encrypted file (if you are in possession of raw text private key, follow this migration guide to encrypt your existing operator keys)

• Machine Endpoint - the endpoint (protocol:ip:port, e.g. https://my-dkg.com:3030) of the machine intended to run the ssv-dkg client (if you have a domain name, instead of an ip that works as well)

You must use the same Private and Public Keys of your SSV operator when running ssv-dkg node. Using a different key will result in the inability to successfully complete the DKG ceremony.
