The RewardDistributor contract is used to receive, track, and distribute additional ETH or token rewards earned by operators with active validators. When operators earn extra rewards (for example, from mev-commit participation or other incentive programs), those rewards are granted to this contract and then claimed by operators to their specified fee recipients.
Rewards are granted on-chain to the RewardDistributor, tracked per operator and recipient, and later claimed by operators (or their delegates) to the correct payout addresses.

Contract Details

​
Interacting with the Contract

The Rewards Distributor is currently live on the Hoodi testnet. A Mainnet deployment and a dedicated claiming UI will be available in the future. For now, you can manage and claim rewards programmatically or by interacting directly with the contract on Etherscan.

​
Claiming rewards

Rewards do not stream automatically to your wallet; you must explicitly claim them from the contract.

​
Claim as the operator

To transfer all pending rewards to your recipients:
  1. Find the claimRewards function.
  2. recipients: Enter your recipient address(es) in bracket format.
    • Example: [0xYourRecipientAddress]
  3. tokenID: Enter the ID of the token to claim.
    • For ETH: 0
    • For Tokens: 1
  4. Click Write and confirm the transaction.

​
Setting reward recipients

By default, if a recipient is not set, rewards earned by a validator are granted to the validator’s operator address.

​
Set a global default recipient

To ensure all rewards go to a specific address (e.g. a cold wallet or a splitter contract), you should set a global operator override. This applies to all your validator keys unless specifically overridden for a key. Individual key recipient overrides can also be set.
  1. Find the setOperatorGlobalOverride function.
  2. recipient: Enter the address you want to receive the rewards.
  3. Click Write and confirm the transaction.
