Onboarding (Fast start)

Live

Bring a validator to voting hot and verified: hot before its stake activates, back as soon as it is ready after a restart, or through a cluster restart. It never votes on anything it has not executed itself.

Included in: Recovery, Pro, Operator, Validator Ops (every size), Fast start.

Each answer is signed by its own service key, listed in /attest/keys.json.
