# Seba

### Why Seba?

Seba exists to make solo validating more attractive and to steer validators away from centralized staking solutions. By offering perpetual yield in exchange for temporarily foregoing execution rewards, Seba incentivizes solo validators to participate in a long-term, sustainable ecosystem.

### Protocol Overview

Seba is a protocol inspired Heroglyphs that enables perpetual yield for solo validators.\
Validators who opt into the Seba Pool agree to forego their execution rewards for a set graduation period. In return, once the graduation period ends, they receive perpetual yield proportional to:

* The amount of ETH staked
* Their attestation score during the pool period\
  ​

The yield is paid in the form of **sBOLD** tokens.

Extra boosts are available for aligned validators with the <mark style="color:green;">Seba Boosts</mark> program, increasing their rewards significantly. After graduating, validators may opt out of the protocol while still retaining their perpetual yield benefits.

Missing attestations lowers a validator's share which ensures an ecosystem focused on good performance of all participants.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.heroglyphs.com/seba.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
