The validator onboarding program is currently invite-only. This page will be updated with full documentation as the validator network decentralizes. If you are interested in becoming a validator, reach out to the Superform team via Discord.
What Validators Do
Validators secure SuperVault price-per-share (PPS) updates by independently computing PPS off-chain, signing EIP-712 attestations, and submitting them to theECDSAPPSOracle contract. The oracle accepts an update only after at least two-thirds of weighted validator stake reaches consensus.
Requirements
- **UP tokens to join the validator set
- Infrastructure - Run a monitoring node that tracks vault positions and computes PPS
- Uptime - Consistent participation is required; insufficient participation triggers slashing
Economics
- Validators earn a share of $UP upkeep payments from vault curators
- Misreporting is deterred through slashing of bonded $UP
- An insurance fund backstops depositors against oracle failures
Roadmap
| Phase | Status |
|---|---|
| Phase 1: Permissioned validator set | ✅ Live |
| Phase 2: Open $UP bonding and slashing | Planned |
| Phase 3: Fully decentralized validator rotation | Planned |
