Final Steps

Open port 3030❗​

Expose the port you configured on the machine firewall and in the Docker container command if you use Docker. The default is 3030.

Otherwise, your DKG node will not be available to Stakers and you may receive fewer validators.

Update Operator Metadata​

Update Metadata

If you do not set an externally available DKG endpoint in the metadata, you will not participate in DKG ceremonies.

Once the DKG tool is running, update your Operator metadata and provide the DKG endpoint in the form protocol:ip:port (a domain name also works).

See Setting Operator Metadata for instructions.

Test the setup​

Use these steps to test that your DKG node is set up correctly:

  1. Fetch Operator metadata from SSV API and get dkg_address from the response. Edit and use the URL below:
https://api.ssv.network/api/v4/mainnet or hoodi/operators/Operator ID
  1. Check DKG Node status. Use the dkg_address from the previous step. The response should show whether the Operator is online and running the latest version. Edit the command below and run it:
docker run --rm "ssvlabs/ssv-dkg:latest" ping --ip dkg_address
