FRENS is a single-validator-staking-pool as a service. What does that mean? Easily deploy your own staking pool and invite your frens. Pool depositors recieve NFTs representing their stake in the pool. This NFT allows them to claim their share of the staking rewards from the pool, and to retrieve their initial deposit once the pool has been exited. The NFTs are transferable, so they can be sold on the open market if you need to exit your position quickly. How does it work? Navigate to the app and connect your wallet Click on the "new pool" button. Click "create pool" and sign the transaction in your wallet. When the transaction confirms, you will be given a link, which you can distribute to your frens. Follow the link to make your own contribution to the pool. Once the pool is full, click "Setup Validator now". You will be directed to generate your keys with Wagyu Key Gen using the pool address as the withdrawal address. How do I use Waygu Key Gen? Navigate to Waygu . Download the version for your operating system (keys should be generated locally for security, preferably while your computer is offline). Open the app and click "Create New Secret Recovery Phrase". Select the correct network and click "OK" Click "Create". Write your reovery phrase don on paper, you will need this later. Do not screenshot, or store electronically. Click "I'm Sure" (if you're sure). Enter recovery phrase, click "Check". Enter the pool address from the FRENS app as the withdrawal address, creae a password and click "Next". Retype password and click "Next". Select a folder to save your keys, click "Create". Click close. I have my validator keys, now what? Return to your pool in the FRENS app. Click "Next". Drop or navigate to your deposit file created by Waygu (the name will be deposit_data_XXXXX.json). Click "Set Deposit File" and sign the transaction. Click "Deposit Eth to Beacon Chain" and sign the tansaction. You have now deposited the 32 Eth to the beacon chain, and set the withdrawal address to th pool address. You will now be prompted to select 4 operators. What is an operator? Operators run validators as a service. Using distributed validtor technology, your key is split, so you can give a key-share to each of four different operators. 3 operators must agree in order to sign a block. This makes it very difficult to get sashed, and as long as 3 of the 4 are online, your validator will run normally. How do I choose my operators? On the "select Your Oprators" page on the FRENS site, the 30 day performance of various operators is shown. If you click on "details" it will take you to the SSV site, which will show more information for that operator. Check the box next to the operators of your choice. Click "Next". What does it mean to split keyshare? This takes the signing key for your validator and splits it into 4 parts for the 4 operators (like some kind of cryptographic magic). Drop your keystore file (keystore-m_XXXXX.json) into the field, and click next. What does register validator mean? The operators must be paid for thier services. This payment is made with SSV tokens. If you don't have any SSV tokens, now is the time to buy them (or collect then from your FRENS). Click "Allow Spending" and approve the transaction. Click "Register Validator" and approve the transaction. Congratulations your FRENS pool is complete!
