Secure the chain. Earn MINT.
Sigil's launch network runs on 13 validators. Self-bond MINT, sign every round, and earn rewards for keeping single-block finality alive. Misbehaviour is slashable — and the proof is on chain.

Become a validator
Pick a DID. Register the operator.
Every Sigil validator is a verified OAS DID with lineage to a real human or organisation. Validators aren't anonymous bonds — they're named entities the network can hold accountable. Registering the operator binds the DID to the validator role.
Step 1 · Bond
Bond MINT. The chain locks it.
Validators self-bond MINT to participate. The bond is the chain's slashing collateral. Below the activation floor, the validator stays inactive. Above it, the validator joins the active set at the next epoch.
Step 2 · Sign
Sign every round. Every block.
An active validator signs prevotes and precommits on every round. The chain doesn't care about your reasoning — it counts your signatures. Miss too many in an epoch and the rewards slim down.
Step 3 · Earn
Rewards stream in, second by second.
Block rewards accrue continuously based on signed-block count, role multiplier, and lineage generation. The earnings counter ticks up live; rewards claim into the operator's balance at epoch end.
Step 4 · Uptime
99.97% — and you're in the green.
Uptime is measured in epochs. A validator under the uptime floor gets soft-slashed: rewards trimmed, no bond loss. Stay above the line and the chain rewards you for the work.
The bad path · Alarm
Equivocation. The bond dives 100%.
If a validator signs two different precommits at the same height — equivocation — any other node can submit the two signatures as evidence. The bond is burned in a single block. There is no appeal.
The honest path · Recover
Sign honestly. Earn back. Compound.
Honest validators stay green for years. Rewards compound. Reputation builds. The chain's economic security comes from rational operators choosing honest behaviour every round — because the slashing math makes any other choice ruinous.
Bond. Sign. Earn.
Register a validator identity, bond the required MINT, and start signing. Operator dashboards, slashing rules, and ecosystem duties are public the moment you join.
