Graduation
Graduation is the key milestone for a validator in the Seba protocol. It signifies the shift from active participation to continuous reward collection.
A validator graduates after meeting two key conditions:
Completing the entire graduation period without violating fee address requirements and with strong attestation performance.
Include the validator ID as a ticker in a valid Heroglyphs block graffiti (e.g., #seba12345) after the validator's graduation period has ended and make sure the execution reward of the block goes to the Seba pool.
Graduation Rewards
Graduation rewards come in the form of shares in the pybSeba Vault:
The number of shares is determined by the validator’s total attestation rewards during the period, multiplied by any applicable boost factor (up to 3.0x).
The calculation accounts for effective balance, meaning validators with more staked ETH earn proportionally more shares. However, missed attestations reduce the total, promoting optimal performance.
Can a Validator ID Graduate multiple times?
Graduation occurs only once per validator ID. After graduating, a validator cannot gain more shares for that ID, but they can start a new validator and join again.
