Graduation
Graduation is the defining milestone for a validator in the Seba protocol. It marks the transition from active contribution to perpetual reward collection.
A validator graduates after meeting two key conditions:
Completing the entire graduation period without breaking fee address requirements and with strong attestation performance.
Being included as a ticker in a valid Heroglyphs block graffiti.
Graduation Rewards
Graduation rewards come in the form of shares in the pybSeba Vault:
The number of shares is calculated using the validator’s total attestation rewards during the period, multiplied by any applicable boost factor (up to 2.5x).
The calculation accounts for effective balance, meaning validators with more staked ETH earn proportionally more shares. However, missed attestations reduce the total, incentivizing optimal performance.
Can a Validator ID Graduate multiple times?
Graduation is a one-time event for each validator ID. Once graduated, a validator cannot earn additional shares for that ID, though they may choose to spin up a new validator and participate again.
