Core Concepts

Solo Validator Participation

Solo validators register their validator IDs with the SebaPool contract through the use of the Seba platform. After doing this, they are required to point the fee address of their validators to the SebaPool contract. This initiates a graduation period of 6 months.

During this period, they must maintain the fee address set to the SebaPool and perform certain duties. Failing to do so will result in resetting the graduation period to 0 again, effectively resulting in a restart for the affected validator. If execution rewards flow to any address other than the pool, the time for graduation will also reset.

Perpetual Yield

Once a validator graduates, they earn a portion of the protocol’s continuously generated yield indefinitely. The yield comes in the form of sBOLD, backed by locked principal from execution and MEV rewards.

Boosts for Aligned Validators

Seba offers a 2.5x reward boost to aligned validators:

• Stakers Union Members: Must hold the Stakers Union POAP in their reward address (Ethereum Mainnet or Gnosis Chain).

• Kamisama NFT Holders: Must hold the NFT in the reward address for the duration of participation. Ownership is checked every epoch.

• 100 Heroes NFT: Must hold the NFT in the reward address for the duration of the participation. Ownership is checked eery epoch.
