Validator Concepts

Distributed Validators are managed within Clusters - the group of operators that were selected to operate them.

To run a validator through the SSV network, a user must distribute their validator key to their selected cluster and register it to the network’s smart contract. This can be done via the Web App interface, through the smart contracts, or Developer tools.
