#LFGDVT
If your validator is running low on $DVT, you will need to top it off.
Why? $DVT pays the subscription fee to the operators in the committee that are attesting on your validatorβs behalf. Think of $DVT as the gas that powers the engine (the operator committee) of your car (your validator). If the gas runs out, the engine stops and so does your car. If this happens, your validator will stop earning additional staking rewards and the Beacon Chain will penalize it by subtracting small amounts of ETH from its balance for each epoch it is offline.
Hereβs how to keep your validatorβs gas tank full and engine running:
