A Validator position bonds your stake behind attestations — vouching for the quality and legitimacy of marketplace products and, over time, ERC-8004 reputation. Your stake is the weight behind your word.

What validators do

  • Vouch for marketplace products — a staked validator’s attestation carries economic weight, which buyers can trust.
  • Back reputation — as the network’s ERC-8004 reputation registry comes online, validator stake underpins those signals.
The longer 2-day cooldown reflects that other participants rely on validator attestations; you can’t stake, vouch, and instantly exit.

​
Earnings

Validators earn the standard 10% staker share of network revenue (USDC + $SGL), pro-rata to stake — identical to every other tier. There is no separate “validator yield”; the value is in the role you can perform with a bonded position.
Marketplace validation tooling (validator reporting, “SGL Verified” badges, automated checks) is rolling out incrementally. Staking the position today establishes your bonded validator status.
