uint64
The operator id
operatorFee
uint256 (casted to uint64)
New fee (denominated as $SSV tokens per block).

executeOperatorFee ()

Description: Activates operator’s fee change specified in previously called declareOperatorFee(). This function needs to be called within a certain time window following declareOperatorFee().
Parameter
Type
Description
operatorId
uint64
The operator id

cancelDeclaredOperatorFee (operatorId)

Description: Cancels operator’s fee change requested in previously called declareOperatorFee().
Parameter
Type
Description
operatorId
uint64
The operator id

reduceOperatorFee (operatorId, fee)

Description: Reduce the operator fee, does not abide by the restrictions of fee increase
Parameter
Type
Description
operatorId
uint64
The operator id
fee
uint256 (casted to uint64)
New fee (denominated as $SSV tokens per block).

Description
feeRecipientAddress
address
An ETH1 address that receives fee recipient rewards.

Cluster Methods

registerValidator (publicKey, operatorIds, shares, amount, cluster)
