5.3 Blockchain Validator Network

The Blockchain Validator module is a core pillar of Phera AI, offering a seamless, single-pane interface for deploying and managing Proof-of-Stake validators across multiple blockchain networks.

Multi-Chain Coverage

Support for Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Polkadot, Cosmos SDK chains, Avalanche, Cardano, Tezos, and more—each with chain-specific templates and optimized defaults. • Fractional Staking Low minimum requirements (e.g., 0.1 ETH, 10 MATIC, 0.1 SOL) enable broader participation and allow smaller operators to spin up validators without large capital outlay. • Unified Dashboard Consolidated view of every validator across all networks, showing status (Active, Pending, Inactive), uptime percentage, APY estimates, and user counts at a glance. • Automated Compliance Built-in slashing-protection configurations and client-version checks ensure validators adhere to network best practices and reduce risk of penalties. • One-Click Deployment From template selection through staking transaction approval, the entire setup—from node provisioning to validator registration—can be completed in under five minutes.

Deployment Workflow

Step 1: Select Chain & Template Operators browse or search within the Blockchain Validator module to locate

their target network. Clicking a chain card opens the deployment modal pre- populated with chain-specific staking and software defaults.

Step 2: Connect Wallet & Approve Stake • The Wallet & Balance section automatically detects the connected Ethereum wallet (via Web3Modal/Ethers.js) and displays on-chain balance. • A single click prompts the user to approve the required stake transaction. Phera AI can batch multiple validator registrations into one atomic transaction when supported by the chain. Step 3: Configure Node Selection • If no suitable node exists under My Deployments, the UI surfaces a Deploy Node First call-to-action, linking back to the Node Deployment flow. • Existing nodes are listed with their resource tier, region, and health status, allowing operators to choose where the validator will run. Step 4: Review & Customize • Validator Name: Custom identifier for easier fleet management. • Withdrawal Credentials: On chains that support it, operators can specify withdrawal addresses or cold wallets. • Advanced Options: Enable features like remote signing, MEV-boost relay integration (Ethereum), or multi-signature key protection. Step 5: Submit & Monitor • Clicking Deploy Validator broadcasts the on-chain staking transaction. • The dashboard transitions the validator from Pending to Active once network confirmations and client sync complete. • Real-time logs and status indicators appear in the My Deployments list, providing immediate visibility into any issues.

Monitoring & Maintenance

Once active, each validator entry includes: • Attestation & Proposal Rates: Detailed breakdowns of participation in each epoch/slot. • Rewards Dashboard: Cumulative and per-epoch reward tracking, with exportable CSV reports. • Slashing Risk Forecasts: ML-inferred risk scores based on past behavior, network conditions, and client metrics. • Health-Check Alerts: Built-in notifications surface missed

attestations, downtime events, or client‐version drifts—even before on- chain penalties occur.

Operators can perform on-demand maintenance actions directly from the validator card: • Restart Client: Reboot the validator or beacon client. • Upgrade Binary: Automatically pull and apply the latest client release. • Rotate Keys: Trigger a key‐rotation playbook with SLashing protection safeguards. • Toggle MEV-Boost: Enable or disable MEV relays for optimized block rewards.

Security & Best Practices

Slashing Protection: Phera AI automatically configures and monitors slashing-protection databases for supported clients.

• Network Segmentation: Enforce firewall and peer restrictions via pre- built security groups.

• Key Management: Integration with HSMs and multi-signature wallets for validator key safety. • Audit Logs: Every governance vote, deployment, and maintenance action is immutably logged for compliance and forensic analysis. By consolidating multi-chain validator operations into a single, AI-enhanced dashboard—complete with deployment, monitoring, and remediation— Phera AI dramatically reduces operational overhead while maximizing network participation and rewards.
