Depositing ETH to Cluster

All clusters on SSV Network use native ETH for fee payments to operators and the network. The cluster balance is necessary to reward operators and pay network fees.

Operational Runway

Remember to maintain sufficient ETH balance to cover your cluster's operational costs. Monitor your runway regularly to avoid liquidation.
