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.
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.
Getting started
Stake
Open a Validator position with at least 50,000 $SGL via the dashboard or agentic API.

Use your bonded status to back products and attestations as the validation surface expands.
