Evaluate Flexible Validator Key Management Solutions

[boulder225]

🎯 Problem to be solved

Current process for creating validator key clusters requires withdrawal addresses to be known upfront, limiting flexibility for adding new recipients or buyers later. This restricts the sale/transfer of validator keys after cluster creation.

🛠️ Proposed solution

Review the following options and document the technical approach, UX flow, pros, cons, and trade-offs for each in a Design Document.

• Evaluating the use of NFTs for representing and transferring ownership of validator keys/rewards, considering the implementation feasibility with splits.org v2.
• Exploring proxy or smart wallet contracts like Gnosis Safe for ownership transfers at the withdrawal address.
• Considering the adoption of splits.org "split wallet" contract over standard proxies.
• Investigating the integration with an oracle for real-time validator/reward state data.
