[Long term issue] Requests to join Sepolia permissioned validator set

Open parithosh opened this issue 2 years ago • 22 comments

We have been tracking the genesis validator selection and initial validator addition requests in the issue here: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/issues/526 . But for long term ease of use, we'd like to move away the issue from the ethereum/pm repo onto this repo.

Future requests for oboarding validators can be tracked in the issue below.

Information on the validator requirements as well as process can be found here: https://notes.ethereum.org/@parithosh/HkVjQfkc5

Hello, Staked would like to express our strong interest in participating as a validator. We would like to test our infrastructure in preparation for Goerli and Mainnet merge events.

Hi we run sepolia.dev, including the faucet, and wenmerge.com and would like to join the validator set to help secure the testnet and provide additional funds for our validator

Due to the amount of eth we have staked we are happy to provide proof of our staking privately

contact us at: sepolia at wenmerge.com

Hi There, I work from the Empire Capital which offers degen services such as DEX, crosschain bridging&reflections, yeild farming and more. We are looking at expanding our services to offer eth staking and we would like to setup some long term validators on the Sepoila Testnet, aswell as adpot Sepoila as our primary testnet post merge.

Feel free to reach out on discord: Corey#5399

Hey, I work for Onomy. We want to setup a long term validator with Sepolia. You can contact me on diiscord H33T#6102 for all the details

If you want to run validators, please consider to run them on Goerli/Prater

Hi there, I work for SDX (part of the Swiss Stock Exchange) and I'd like to ask to be admitted to the permissioned set please as a long-term validator. We are looking to onboard clients and some would prefer to use Sepolia over Goerli as part of their integration tests.

Hello, I am responsible for the development of ethereum for ChainUpCloud. Our philosophy is "All in one Web3 platform". We currently have an implementation layer, a consensus layer api for eth (and support for sepolia), and an unmanaged stake ETH with ssv integration. We have a share of mainnet at ETH.

We are very interested in sepolia, and hope to conduct validator tests and get approval.

Hi @parithosh, we run Blockchain Web Services (bws.ninja) and would like to become a sepolia validator (blockchainwebservices.eth)

How can we get there?

Unless you work on core protocol or infrastructure, you should run a validator on Goerli instead (or check out the upcoming Holesky testnet: https://github.com/eth-clients/holesky/issues/2).

q9f avatar Mar 06 '23 12:03 q9f

We offer an abstraction layer for solutions running sepolia (when testing), so we need to get funds recurrently. Does it mean Sepolia is not adequate for such scenario as getting funds consistently may be hard? Goerli is also quite limited for getting test ETH ...

NachoColl avatar Mar 06 '23 13:03 NachoColl

It would be easier if you can let us know an address and what the funds would be used for, we can help you keep the address stocked. Additionally sepolia has far more faucets and well functioning ones, so it should be easier to get sepolia eth. If it feels like you are spending far more sepolia eth than what you can get and you do not rely on the external smart contract ecosystem, it might be worth thinking about running your own lightweight chain for the purpose of your testing.

Our venture builder team Caliber (https://caliber.build/) is excited to express our interest in becoming a validator on Sepolia, fully aware of the commitment and responsibilities it entails. We are prepared to engage in the long-term operation of validators, maintain high uptime, and swiftly respond to updates, contributing to the health of this vital testnet.

Initiating with our robust faucet, we aim to enhance access to testnet ETH on Sepolia, enriching the user and developer experience. As a potential large-scale staker, we aspire to play an active role in sustaining Sepolia ETH, supporting network integrity, and advancing the Ethereum ecosystem. Later, we expect a sustainable source of SepoliaETH to support the building and testing of potential DApps and protocols.

@vivinvinh212 currently the sepolia validator set isn't looking to expand, its meant to be a small set that is stable to enable dapp developers.

However, we are starting the planning for the Holesky testnet where everyone can permissionlessly join and it'd be great if you can post here: https://github.com/eth-clients/holesky/issues/13

parithosh avatar Jun 26 '23 08:06 parithosh

@parithosh I see, thank you for your reply. In that case, is it possible that our team Caliber request a sizeable amount of SepoliaETH from the team in order to function the faucet smoothly? You could find and try out the faucet here. Thank you for your assistance!

vivinvinh212 avatar Jun 28 '23 04:06 vivinvinh212

@vivinvinh212 I see that you still have ~10k sepETH in the faucet and please do let me know what the monthly burn rate is. Additionally you might want to have the faucet behind an accessible URL instead of a aws connect link. And I can't seem to find it when I search on the open web, you might want to work on some SEO.

I'm Genie Kim from NEOPIN. We are providing ETH Staking Service currently and also support wallet of EVM Layer2. We want to set develop environment on Sepolia from Goerli. We need some Sepolia Validator authentifications. Could you discuss about it with us?

@letspesl would it be possible to use Holesky instead of Sepolia or is there some particular reason you would prefer to validate on Sepolia?

In our service, we experiment with a separate contract and operate a connection between the liquid staking function and the polygon amoy testnet arbitrum sepolia testnet. These chains do not support holesky, so we want to build a development environment through sepolia.

@parithosh I received a friend request from parithosh on Discord. Is your request correct? I would like to ask if we can further discuss participation in Sepolia Validator on Discord.

letspesl avatar Mar 28 '24 07:03 letspesl

Hi @parithosh ! I would like to become a Sepolia validator, committed to long-term operations, am I too late?

BrunoBill avatar May 16 '24 01:05 BrunoBill

I too would like to become a Sepolia validator. If that's cool. I work with DAOs via kali.gg and build smart accounts with nani.ooo.
