Validator Commands ​

Check if your validator is up and running ​

Sometimes it's good to check if the validator is up and running, otherwise you will miss some of your NEXT rewards. To check go to the console:

shell
$ ./next attach
sfc.getStaker(YOUR_VALIDATOR_ID)

The following will return:

  • img

As you can see, the validator isActive, but the isValidator is false. No worries! You properly just started your validator. It will be accepted as a validator after the next epoch (which can take up to 4 hours).

Request a full withdraw ​

A validator can withdraw the full amount of NEXT.

js
sfcc.withdraw({from: "0xAddress"})

Lock a validator (optional) ​

Reward for a non-locked stake is 30% (base rate) of the full reward for a locked stake.

If a withdrawal is made before the lockup period expires, a penalty of 42,5% will be applied.

js
sfcc.lockStake(validatorID, lockupDuration, web3.toWei("amount", "next"), {from: "0xAddress"})

lockupDuration is lockup duration in seconds. Must be >= 14 days (1209600 seconds), <= 365 days (31536000 seconds).

ReLock a validator (optional) ​

Extend lockup period or increase lockup up stake.

js
sfcc.relockStake(validatorID, newLockupDuration, web3.toWei("amount", "next"), {from: "0xAddress"})

Unlock a validator (optional) ​

Unlock the stake before lockup duration has elapsed.

Penalty

The following penalty will be withheld from the unlocked amount:

(base rate = 30%)/2 + lockup rate of rewards received for epochs during the lockup period

js
sfcc.unlockStake(validatorID, web3.toWei("amount", "next"), {from: "0xAddress"})
