Enabling DKG

The ssv-dkg tool enable operators to participate in ceremonies to generate distributed validator keys for Ethereum stakers.

The ssv-dkg tool is separate from the ssv-node, and could be running on a different machine, but the two are heavily correlated, as the keyshare generated by the ssv-dkg tool, will ultimately be used by the Node itself to manage the related validator.

If you wish to take part in DKG ceremonies initiated by stakers and increase your opportunity to run their validators, it is crucial to have your ssv-dkg client online at all times.

Also, in order to access logs it is necessary to utilize permanent storage when running this software.

You can setup your ssv-dkg node by following these three pages:
