### Glossary
- **Block**: A block is a package of data that contains records of transactions completed during a given time period on a blockchain network. Each block is linked to the one before it, creating an immutable chain of records.
- **Full node**: A node that fully validates transactions and blocks on a blockchain. These download every block and transaction and check them against the network's consensus rules. Full nodes also help the network by accepting transactions from other nodes and broadcasting them to the network.
- **Validator node**: A node in a blockchain network that participates in the consensus process. Validators are responsible for proposing new blocks and/or voting on block validity.
- **Attestation**: Votes by validators which confirm the validity of a block.
- **MEV**: Maxmium Extractable Value refers to the maximum value that can be extracted from block production in excess of the standard block reward and gas fees by including, excluding, or reordering transactions. This often involves strategies like front-running, where a user or validator manipulates transaction order to capitalize on pending transactions.
- **PBS**: Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) is a protocol design that separates the roles of proposing and building blocks in blockchain networks. This separation aims to enhance censorship resistance and fairness in transaction inclusion and ordering, by preventing proposers from having full control over the composition of a block.

## Session 2 -- DVT Workshop with SSV
1. Join the Discord community: https://discord.gg/lido
2. Claim your OAT to get access to the private Community Staking section: https://app.galxe.com/quest/lido/GCcCpthDAP

### Resources
- Introduction to DVT presentation
- https://docs.ssv.network/operator-user-guides/operator-node
- https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/
- https://holesky-faucet.pk910.de/

### Steps
1. Create ssv/dkg and ssv/operator folders
2. Go to the ssv/operator folder
3. Generate password

echo "<MY_OPERATOR_PASSWORD>" >> password

4. Key pair generation

docker run --name ssv-node-key-generation -v "$(pwd)/password":/password -it "bloxstaking/ssv-node:latest" /go/bin/ssvnode generate-operator-keys --password-file=password && docker cp ssv-node-key-generation:/encrypted_private_key.json ./encrypted_private_key.json && docker rm ssv-node-key-generation

6. Copy the public key on `encrypted_private_key.json
`
7. Register your operator on SSV (Holesky) https://app.ssv.network/ with the public key. Please ask for Holesky ETH if you don't have any.
8. Create onfig.yaml file doing `vim config.yaml` with this content:

global:
  # Console output log level 
  LogLevel: info
  
  # Debug logs file path
  LogFilePath: ./data/debug.log
  
  # Number of log files preserved (roughly equivalent to number of days)
  # Increase if you want to preserve log files for longer. This would require more disk space
  LogFileBackups: 10

db:
  # Path to a persistent directory to store the node's database.
  Path: ./data/db

ssv:
  # The SSV network to join to
  # Mainnet = Network: mainnet (default)
  # Testnet (Goerli)  = Network: jato-v2
  # Testnet (Holesky) = Network: holesky
  Network: holesky
  
  ValidatorOptions:
    # Whether to enable MEV block production. Requires the connected Beacon node to be MEV-enabled.
    BuilderProposals: false

eth2:
  # HTTP URL of the Beacon node to connect to.
  BeaconNodeAddr: http://200.88.176.110:3500

eth1:
  # WebSocket URL of the Eth1 node to connect to.
  ETH1Addr: ws://200.88.176.110:8546/ws

p2p:
  # Optionally provide the external IP address of the node, if it cannot be automatically determined.
  # HostAddress: 192.168.1.1

  # Optionally override the default TCP & UDP ports of the node.
  # TcpPort: 13001
  # UdpPort: 12001

KeyStore:
  PrivateKeyFile: ./encrypted_private_key.json
  PasswordFile: ./password

# This enables monitoring at the specified port, see https://docs.ssv.network/run-a-node/operator-node/maintenance/monitoring
MetricsAPIPort: 15000

9. Run the node

docker run --restart unless-stopped --name ssv_node-test -e \
CONFIG_PATH=/config.yaml -p 13002:13002 -p 12002:12002/udp -p 15002:15002 \
-v "$(pwd)/config.yaml":/config.yaml \
-v "$(pwd)":/data \
-v "$(pwd)/password":/password \
-v "$(pwd)/encrypted_private_key.json":/encrypted_private_key.json \
-it "bloxstaking/ssv-node:latest" make BUILD_PATH="/go/bin/ssvnode" start-node

10. Exit the ssv/operator folder
11. Copy password and private key

cp -r ssv/operator/password ssv/dkg/
cp -r ssv/operator/encrypted_private_key.json ssv/dkg/

12. Create operator.yaml with `vim operator.yaml`

privKey: ./encrypted_private_key.json
privKeyPassword: ./password
operatorID: <YOUR_OPERATOR_ID>
port: 3030
logLevel: info
logFormat: json
logLevelFormat: capitalColor
logFilePath: /data/debug.log
outputPath: /data/output

13. Run the DKG server

docker run -u $(id -u):$(id -g) --restart unless-stopped --name ssv_dkg -p 3030:3030 -v "$(pwd)":/data -it "bloxstaking/ssv-dkg:latest" start-operator --configPath /data/operator.yaml

14. Enti will form the cluster(s) and upload the keystore.

---
Alternative (for those that got a `/ssl/tls.crt: no such file or directory` error):
13. Create docker-compose.yml file doing `vim docker-compose.yml`

version: '3'
services:
  ssv_dkg:
    image: bloxstaking/ssv-dkg:latest
    environment:
      - UID=${UID:-1000}
      - GID=${GID:-1000}
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "3030:3030"
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
    volumes:
      - "${PWD}:/data"
      - ./data/certbot/conf:/etc/letsencrypt
      - ./data/certbot/www:/var/www/certbot
    command: start-operator --configPath /data/operator.yaml
    user: "${UID}:${GID}"

14. Run `docker compose up`.
