Become a Business Validator

In the testnet dashboard, registration is the Set up your institution flow. Prepare the items below before you start.

1. Choose all your roles

Select the role or roles your organization can perform. Prepare an asset-maintenance process for TV work, a documented scoring methodology for SV work, or underwriting and claims operations for IV work.

Choose every role now. You register your roles together with your identity, and you cannot add or remove a role later. Each role needs its own collateral.

The commitment is ongoing. Plan for the initial registration, and also for missed deadlines, staff changes, disputes, and the eventual transfer of your portfolio.

2. Get registration access

The registry can limit registration to an allowlist of approved addresses, and it starts in that mode. Governance decides the admission settings.

Open the dashboard and connect your wallet:

• If your wallet is not on the allowlist, you see Request registration access. Select Contact us to request access to open an email draft with your wallet address, and send it.
• If your wallet is approved, you see Set up your institution. It has three steps: Institution details, Choose responsibilities, and Review and register.

Creating an issuer-portal account, adding Real Testnet to a wallet, or receiving faucet tokens does not admit you as a Business Validator.

3. Prepare identity and signing

Registration links an operator address, a legal-entity reference, and your selected roles to a BVID, your Business Validator identity. Registration does not verify your legal identity. Use a signing arrangement that your organization can operate and recover reliably. You can move the BVID to a new wallet with Change operator wallet without creating a new BVID.

To prepare on testnet, add Real Testnet to your wallet. Keep enough funds for transaction gas, separate from the ASSET you intend to post as collateral.

4. Fund each role

Calculate your collateral from the portfolio you intend to serve. Use the current stake requirements and ASSET price. Check each role separately on its Stake and rewards tab. A registered identity alone does not let you accept new volume.

Read Stake and lifecycle before you deposit. Treasury delegation is a separately controlled facility. Applicants do not get it automatically.

5. Connect operations and monitoring

Before you accept assets, make sure your team can submit role-specific actions, monitor obligations, and respond to an adverse event. Name an owner for each task that applies to you: metadata updates, scoring deadlines, claims, collateral top-ups, and dispute responses.

After registration, the dashboard workspace has Home, Tasks, Risk, Activity, and All actions. Each role has its own tabs, including Stake and rewards. Use the block explorer to check transactions. Integration and monitoring explains how to reconcile these views with the contracts.

Ready to accept obligations

Continue when you have confirmed these four items: admission, the registered roles, collateral capacity, and the service workflow.
