How to register as a AP SSV Node Operator

PreviousAqua PatinaNextGnosis Staking

Last updated 8 months ago

Prerequisites:

  • Web3 Wallet: A Metamask or similar wallet with some ETH to cover registration fees (0.05 ETH recommended). Make sure you have backups of this wallet, as operator payouts will go to this address.

  • Software Requirements: Install and sync Teku, Nethermind, and MEV-Boost from AVADO’s DappStore.

Installation Steps:

  1. Install Aqua Patina Operator Package:

    • Connect to your AVADO device via ZeroTier.

    • Install the Aqua Patina package using this link (until it is released on the DappStore).

    • Once installed, access the package from AVADO's admin panel.

View on the Manual Installer in the AVADO UI

Click on "Install Package"

Once installed - click “go to AVADO admin” to go the AVADO’s home screen. Press the “Open” button on the new “Aqua Patina Operator package”.

  1. Register as an Operator:

    • Open the Aqua Patina package and click "Register Operator."

    • This redirects you to the SSV web app.

    • Connect your wallet, click "Join as Operator," and then "Register Operator."

    • Go back to your AVADO Aquapatia package browser tab and click on the underlined “Operator Public Key” value. Copy your Operator Public Key from the Aqua Patina package UI

    • Paste the "Operator Public Key" into the SSV web app, and set your fee to "0" (operators are paid in apETH).

    • Sign the transaction in your wallet.

  2. Whitelist the Operator’s Address:

    • After registration, click "Manage Operator" on the SSV app, then go to "Permission Settings."

    • Click on the three dots in the right top corner and select “Permission settings” from the menu

    • Select “Authorized addresses”

    • Click “Add Authorized Address”

    • Fill out 0x991a08b9a857729c4e27b4ed0750dd64cbae64fa as the new authorized address.

    • Now press "Add address" and sign the transaction.

  3. Finalize:

    • Congrats: you’ve finished the setup process. Your node will now be monitored by the AP system, and your node operator score will be calculated.
