Pre-requisite for permissioned node operators

The following prerequisites are required from Stader-ETHx permissioned node operators:

• Node operators are expected to generate their own validator keys for registration with Stader.

• Node operators should have Web3signer loaded with the validator keys which they wish to register with Stader. Node operators can refer the next section for Web3signer setup.

• Node operators need to create a separate validator client for Stader and set the fee recipient of the client to Stader's Socializing pool.

• Node operators must have their own staking rig, hardware solution, or cloud service to run the node/validators on the Stader Network.

Note: Stader will generate the withdraw vault for the validators. There is no requirement for the Node Operators to create one.
