Getting Started with Trezor

To start staking on the SSV network using our DVT Staking API, there are a few essential prerequisites to ensure a smooth and efficient setup:

  • Minimum Stake Requirement: You will need a minimum of 32 ETH for each staking validator you wish to run.
  • SSV Tokens: To operate validators on the SSV network, it's recommended to hold at least 15 SSV tokens per validator to cover yearly operational costs. Get SSV test tokens here.
  • API Key Request: Get an authentication token to start using DVT Staking API.

We also provide convenient request examples using cURL to guide you through the process.

Stake with the P2P Smart Contract

  1. Prepareid that is an arbitrary UUID. Generate it in one of the following ways:

  2. Set up staking SSV nodes through P2P infrastructure by sending a POST request to /api/v1/eth/staking/ssv/request/create. Use https://api-test.p2p.org for testing
    or https://api.p2p.org for production.

    Example request:

    curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.p2p.org/api/v1/eth/staking/ssv/request/create \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer <token>' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '

    • id — arbitrary UUID. You can later use that UUID to check the status of the set-up operation.
    • validatorsCount — number of validators. One validator is equal to 32 ETH.
    • withdrawalAddress — withdrawal address for the client. This address is also used as the validator owner's address and must be used to sign the transaction to register the SSV validator at step 6.
    • feeRecipientAddress — Eth1 address that receives the fee recipient rewards.
    • ssvOwnerAddress — address that acts as the owner of the SSV cluster. The cluster owner can register the validator, update the fee recipient address, top-up the cluster balance, and claim SSV incentives rewards.
    • type— type of operation:
      • without-encrypt-key (available) — validator's private key is returned encrypted to the client.
      • with-encrypt-key (not available) — validator private key is instead maintained by P2P to initiate withdrawals when requested by the client. If selected, fill the ecdhPublicKey field.
    • operationPeriodInDays— operation period in days.
    • ecdhPublicKey— your ECDH public key to obtain an encrypted validator private key.

    Example response:

    {
 "error": null,
 "result": true
}

  3. Check the node set-up operation status by sending a GET request to /api/v1/eth/staking/ssv/request/status/{id}.

    Example request:

    curl --request GET \
     --url https://api.p2p.org/api/v1/eth/staking/ssv/request/status/3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa5 \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer <token>'
    • id — UUID that was specified in the SSV set-up request.

    Example response:

    {
    "error": null,
    "result": {
        "id": "3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa5",
        "status": "ready",
        "type": "without-encrypt-key",
        "operationPeriodInDays": 30,

    • serializeTx — serialized unsigned transaction.
    • to — recipient address for this transaction.
    • gasLimit — maximum gas limit for this block.
    • data — transaction data.
    • value — amount this transaction is sending in Wei.

    • maxPriorityFeePerGas — price per gas unit in Wei, which is added to the EIP-1559 block's base fee. This added fee is used to incentivize miners to prioritize this transaction.

  4. Sign the transaction approveTx with trezorctl by using the unserialized transaction data in the approveTx object.

    You will find the unserialized transaction data within the approveTx JSON object. Here is an example of the data structure you'll work with:

      "approveTx": {
      "serializeTx": "<serialized_transaction_data>",
      "to": "0x3a9f01091C446bdE031E39ea8354647AFef091E7",
      "gasLimit": "<gas_limit>",
      "data": "<transaction_data>",
      "value": "<value_in_ether>",
      "chainId": "<chain_id>",
      "type": 2,
      "maxFeePerGas": "<max_fee_per_gas>",
      "maxPriorityFeePerGas": "<max_priority_fee_per_gas>"
  }

    Use the retrieved data to fill in the respective fields in the command line instruction for signing the transaction with trezorctl. Replace the placeholders with actual values from the approveTx object:

    trezorctl ethereum sign-tx --address {SENDER_ADDRESS_BIP_32} --data {TX_DATA} --chain-id {CHAIN_ID} --max-gas-fee {MAX_FEE_PER_GAS} --max-priority-fee {MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_PER_GAS} --gas-limit {GAS_LIMIT} --eip2718-type {TYPE} {TO_ADDRESS} {VALUE}
    • {SENDER_ADDRESS_BIP_32}: This is your Ethereum wallet address in BIP 32 format
    • {TX_DATA}: Use the value from data in the approveTx object
    • {CHAIN_ID}: Use the value from chainId in the approveTx object
    • {MAX_FEE_PER_GAS} and {MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_PER_GAS}: These fields correspond to maxFeePerGas and maxPriorityFeePerGas in the approveTx object, respectively. These values must be passed in the Wei unit of measure.
    • {GAS_LIMIT}: Use the value from gasLimit in the approveTx object. This value must be passed in the Wei unit of measure.
    • {TYPE}: Use the value from type in the approveTx object
    • {TO_ADDRESS}: Use the value from to in the approveTx object
    • {VALUE}: Use the value from value in the approveTx object

  5. After replacing the placeholders with actual data from the approveTx object, run the command in your terminal or command prompt. This will initiate the signing process with your Trezor device.

  6. After signing is completed with your Trezor device, the command line will return the signed transaction hash.

    Send the signed transaction to the Ethereum network.

    This step is required only once per account. It enables the SSV smart contract to transfer SSV tokens on your behalf to fund the cluster balance.

  7. Sign the transaction feeRecipientTx with trezorctl by using the unserialized transaction data in the feeRecipientTx object.

    You will find the unserialized transaction data within the feeRecipientTx JSON object. Here is an example of the data structure you'll work with:

      "feeRecipientTx": {
      "serializeTx": "<serialized_transaction_data>",
      "to": "0xC3CD9A0aE89Fff83b71b58b6512D43F8a41f363D",
      "gasLimit": "<gas_limit>",
      "data": "<transaction_data>",
      "value": "<value_in_ether>",
      "chainId": "<chain_id>",
      "type": 2,
      "maxFeePerGas": "<max_fee_per_gas>",
      "maxPriorityFeePerGas": "<max_priority_fee_per_gas>"
  }

    Use the retrieved data to fill in the respective fields in the command line instruction for signing the transaction with trezorctl. Replace the placeholders with actual values from the feeRecipientTx object:

    trezorctl ethereum sign-tx --address {SENDER_ADDRESS_BIP_32} --data {TX_DATA} --chain-id {CHAIN_ID} --max-gas-fee {MAX_FEE_PER_GAS} --max-priority-fee {MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_PER_GAS} --gas-limit {GAS_LIMIT} --eip2718-type {TYPE} {TO_ADDRESS} {VALUE}
    • {SENDER_ADDRESS_BIP_32}: This is your Ethereum wallet address in BIP 32 format
    • {TX_DATA}: Use the value from data in the feeRecipientTx object
    • {CHAIN_ID}: Use the value from chainId in the feeRecipientTx object
    • {MAX_FEE_PER_GAS} and {MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_PER_GAS}: These fields correspond to maxFeePerGas and maxPriorityFeePerGas in the feeRecipientTx object, respectively. These values must be passed in the Wei unit of measure.
    • {GAS_LIMIT}: Use the value from gasLimit in the feeRecipientTx object. This value must be passed in the Wei unit of measure.
    • {TYPE}: Use the value from type in the feeRecipientTx object
    • {TO_ADDRESS}: Use the value from to in the feeRecipientTx object
    • {VALUE}: Use the value from value in the feeRecipientTx object

  8. After replacing the placeholders with actual data from the feeRecipientTx object, run the command in your terminal or command prompt. This will initiate the signing process with your Trezor device.

  9. After signing is completed with your Trezor device, the command line will return the signed transaction hash.

    Send the signed transaction to the Ethereum network.

    This step is required only once per account. It enables the SSV smart contract to transfer SSV tokens on your behalf to fund the cluster balance.

  10. Sign the transaction validatorRegistrationTxs with trezorctl by using the unserialized transaction data in the validatorRegistrationTxs object.

    You will find the unserialized transaction data within the feeRecipientTx JSON object. Here is an example of the data structure you'll work with:

      "validatorRegistrationTxs": {
      "serializeTx": "<serialized_transaction_data>",
      "to": "0xC3CD9A0aE89Fff83b71b58b6512D43F8a41f363D",
      "gasLimit": "<gas_limit>",
      "data": "<transaction_data>",
      "value": "<value_in_ether>",
      "chainId": "<chain_id>",
      "type": 2,
      "maxFeePerGas": "<max_fee_per_gas>",
      "maxPriorityFeePerGas": "<max_priority_fee_per_gas>"
  }

    Use the retrieved data to fill in the respective fields in the command line instruction for signing the transaction with trezorctl. Replace the placeholders with actual values from the validatorRegistrationTxs object:

    trezorctl ethereum sign-tx --address {SENDER_ADDRESS_BIP_32} --data {TX_DATA} --chain-id {CHAIN_ID} --max-gas-fee {MAX_FEE_PER_GAS} --max-priority-fee {MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_PER_GAS} --gas-limit {GAS_LIMIT} --eip2718-type {TYPE} {TO_ADDRESS} {VALUE}
    • {SENDER_ADDRESS_BIP_32}: This is your Ethereum wallet address in BIP 32 format
    • {TX_DATA}: Use the value from data in the validatorRegistrationTxs object
    • {CHAIN_ID}: Use the value from chainId in the validatorRegistrationTxs object
    • {MAX_FEE_PER_GAS} and {MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_PER_GAS}: These fields correspond to maxFeePerGas and maxPriorityFeePerGas in the validatorRegistrationTxs object, respectively. These values must be passed in the Wei unit of measure.
    • {GAS_LIMIT}: Use the value from gasLimit in the validatorRegistrationTxs object. This value must be passed in the Wei unit of measure.
    • {TYPE}: Use the value from type in the validatorRegistrationTxs object
    • {TO_ADDRESS}: Use the value from to in the validatorRegistrationTxs object
    • {VALUE}: Use the value from value in the validatorRegistrationTxs object

  11. After replacing the placeholders with actual data from the validatorRegistrationTxs object, run the command in your terminal or command prompt. This will initiate the signing process with your Trezor device.

  12. After signing is completed with your Trezor device, the command line will return the signed transaction hash.

    Send the signed transaction to the Ethereum network.

    By broadcasting this transaction, your validator will be registered on the SSV network and simultaneously managed by a pool (i. e., cluster) of four top-performance node operators: Allnodes, Huobi, P2P.org, and Stakeley. Check an example on Goerli of a successfully broadcasted transaction using the validatorRegistrationTxs data.

  13. Create a serialized transaction for depositing the stake amount and send it as a POST request to /api/v1/eth/staking/direct/tx/deposit.

    Example request:

    curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.p2p.org/api/v1/eth/staking/direct/tx/deposit \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer <token>' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '

    • serializeTx — serialized unsigned transaction.
    • to — recipient address for this transaction.
    • gasLimit — maximum gas limit for this block.
    • data — transaction data.
    • value — amount this transaction is sending in Wei.
    • chainId — chain ID this transaction is authorized on, as specified by EIP-155.
    • type — EIP-2718 type of this transaction envelope.
    • maxFeePerGas — maximum price per unit of gas this transaction will pay for the combined EIP-1559 block's base fee and this transaction's priority fee in Wei.
    • maxPriorityFeePerGas — price per unit of gas in Wei, which is added to the EIP-1559 block's base fee. This added fee is used to incentivize miners to prioritize this transaction.

  14. Sign the transaction result with trezorctl by using the unserialized transaction data in the result object.
    Use the retrieved data to fill in the respective fields in the command line instruction for signing the transaction with trezorctl. Replace the placeholders with actual values from the validatorRegistrationTxs object:

    trezorctl ethereum sign-tx --address {SENDER_ADDRESS_BIP_32} --data {TX_DATA} --chain-id {CHAIN_ID} --max-gas-fee {MAX_FEE_PER_GAS} --max-priority-fee {MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_PER_GAS} --gas-limit {GAS_LIMIT} --eip2718-type {TYPE} {TO_ADDRESS} {VALUE}
    • {SENDER_ADDRESS_BIP_32}: This is your Ethereum wallet address in BIP 32 format
    • {TX_DATA}: Use the value from data in the result object
    • {CHAIN_ID}: Use the value from chainId in the result object
    • {MAX_FEE_PER_GAS} and {MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_PER_GAS}: These fields correspond to maxFeePerGas and maxPriorityFeePerGas in the result object, respectively. These values must be passed in the Wei unit of measure.
    • {GAS_LIMIT}: Use the value from gasLimit in the result object. This value must be passed in the Wei unit of measure.
    • {TYPE}: Use the value from type in the result object
    • {TO_ADDRESS}: Use the value from to in the result object
    • {VALUE}: Use the value from value in the result object

  15. After replacing the placeholders with actual data from the result object, run the command in your terminal or command prompt. This will initiate the signing process with your Trezor device.

  16. After signing is completed with your Trezor device, the command line will return the signed transaction hash.
    Send the signed transaction to the Ethereum network.
    By broadcasting this transaction, you are depositing the required stake amount in the Ethereum deposit smart contract by using the P2P smart contract as a proxy.

  17. After your deposit is successful, your validator will enter the activation queue and soon start performing the validator tasks. You can check the status of your validator on the SSV network explorer.
