Supported staking providers

A staking provider (a.k.a. node operator) is the entity that runs validator software for a vault. Northstake selects from a fixed roster and surfaces them as choices at vault creation.

These IDs are stable and appear in API responses (e.g. validator_provider on a vault's contracts) and in vault-creation forms.

Operator grid

The full roster isn't always available: your account's operator grid restricts the choices to a subset. The vault-creation form calls GET /api/vaults/supported-providers and renders only the providers returned for your account.

The grid is managed centrally by Northstake. To enable an additional provider for your account, contact your account manager. Once enabled, the provider appears in the form automatically.

ℹ️

Myrmidon is the most recent addition. Pro accounts typically have it enabled by default; standard accounts may need to request it explicitly.

Where this appears

  • Add Vault wizard: pick a provider when creating any vault.
  • Vault page → Addresses tab: the operator address is part of the vault's role set.
  • Validator list: each validator inherits its provider from the vault.
  • API: validator_provider: on each LidoContracts response.
