Validator Double Sign

Collect evidence, follow the approved recovery path, and verify the result when investigating validator double sign.

Immediate procedure

  1. Preserve signed evidence before changing keys or pods.

  2. Jail or isolate the validator according to governance policy.

  3. Rotate compromised key material only after preserving the evidence bundle.

Capture network evidence

Record the endpoint, returned chain ID, node version, timestamps, current height, and observed error. Compare the affected node with healthy nodes on the same chain; retain logs and signed evidence before making changes.

curl --fail-with-body --show-error --silent --max-time 15 'https://sigil-velocity-canary-root-1.fly.dev/rpc' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"sigil_getNodeInfo","params":{}}'

Verify recovery

Repeat the original failing check. Confirm expected synchronization and activation state, and compare the relevant block hashes or state roots at the same height. Record the recovery action, evidence, and remaining uncertainty in the incident record.

curl --fail-with-body --show-error --silent --max-time 15 'https://sigil-velocity-canary-root-1.fly.dev/rpc' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"sigil_getSyncStatus","params":{}}'
