Claim CL rewards

After activating your validator, it takes around 2-3 days for CL rewards to show up on the CLI. When you run an Ethereum validator, the CL rewards are regularly sent to your validator through a process called "skimming". The frequency of skimming depends on the number of activated validators on the Beacon Chain. If you have multiple validators on your node, you have to claim the CL rewards separately for each one.

Stader node helps you save gas cost Claiming CL rewards for each validator can result in high gas costs for node operators. To reduce this expense, the Stader node has a default feature that transfers the CL rewards for your validators to a claim vault when it reaches 0.15 ETH. This movement of rewards is done once a month. This allows node operators to claim the CL rewards for all their validators in a single transaction from the claim vault to their operator reward address.

To claim CL rewards without waiting for Stader to transfer them to the claim vault, follow these steps:

Step 1: Check CL the rewards accrued for your validators using the valdiator status command: ~/bin/stader-cli validator status

Step 2: Send your rewards to the Claim vault using the command. Please don’t forget to replace <Validator Public Key> with the Validator Public Key of your operator: ~/bin/stader-cli validator send-cl-rewards --validator-pub-key <validator public key>

Step 3: Claim your CL rewards from the claim vault using the following command: ~/bin/stader-cli node claim-rewards

To claim CL rewards after Stader has transferred them to the claim vault, follow these steps:

Step 1: Claim your CL rewards from the claim vault using the following command. ~/bin/stader-cli node claim-rewards
