Enabling DKG

ssv-dkg lets Operators participate in ceremonies that generate distributed validator keys for Ethereum Stakers.

ssv-dkg is separate from ssv-node and can run on a different machine. The two are closely related because the keyshare generated by ssv-dkg is later used by the node to manage the validator.

warning

If you want to take part in DKG ceremonies initiated by Stakers and improve your chances of running their validators, keep your ssv-dkg client online at all times.

Also, use persistent storage so logs remain available.

Set up your ssv-dkg node with these three pages:

  1. Prerequisites
  2. Start DKG Node
