ValidatorService

This contract handles all validator operations including registration, node management, validator-specific delegation parameters, and more.

For more information see our main instructions SKALE MainNet Launch FAQ.

Validators register an address, and use this address to accept delegations and register nodes.

onlyValidatorManager onlyValidatorManager() modifier

checkValidatorExists checkValidatorExists(uint256 validatorId) modifier

registerValidator registerValidator(string name, string description, uint256 feeRate, uint256 minimumDelegationAmount) → uint256 validatorId external

Creates a new validator ID that includes a validator name, description, commission or fee rate, and a minimum delegation amount accepted by the validator.

Emits a ValidatorRegistered event.

Requirements:

  • Sender must not already have registered a validator ID.

  • Fee rate must be between 0 - 1000‰. Note: in per mille.

enableValidator enableValidator(uint256 validatorId) external

Allows Admin to enable a validator by adding their ID to the trusted list.

Emits a ValidatorWasEnabled event.

Requirements:

  • Validator must not already be enabled.

disableValidator disableValidator(uint256 validatorId) external

Allows Admin to disable a validator by removing their ID from the trusted list.

Emits a ValidatorWasDisabled event.

Requirements:

  • Validator must not already be disabled.

disableWhitelist disableWhitelist() external

Owner can disable the trusted validator list. Once turned off, the trusted list cannot be re-enabled.

stopAcceptingNewRequests stopAcceptingNewRequests() external

Allows a validator to stop accepting new delegation requests.

Requirements:

  • Must not have already stopped accepting new requests.
