Operators Mainnet Campaign

Showcase Operators
1

Hello everyone,

As we prepare for the exciting mainnet launch of EigenLayer, we invite all operators to participate in a dedicated forum thread. Here, you can showcase your qualifications and experience to restakers.

Why is this important?

This step is important because it helps restakers understand your capabilities and experience. As a reminder, the top 200 operators by delegated stake will be able to opt into EigenDA and run validation services on mainnet. This is an opportunity to communicate your experience and proficiency to give restakers confidence in delegating to you.

What to include?

Here’s a template to help you get started. Fill out the following sections and post them on the dedicated forum thread:

  • Operator Name:
  • Website:
  • Operator Profile: Institutional Staker or Solo-Staker.
  • Experience: Provide a summary of your experience (years of operations, key achievements etc).
  • Team: Briefly introduce your team and relevant background.
  • Mainnet restake amount: If you currently natively restake on the mainnet.
  • Where do you run your infra: Region
  • What rate do you plan to set your operator commission rate: provide %
  • Performance Metrics: Highlight key metrics that demonstrate your past performance (uptime, correctness, etc).
  • EigenDA Testnet Performance:
    • Describe your experience running the EigenDA testnet.
    • How long were you in the active set?
    • What were your performance metrics?
  • Plans to opt-into additional AVSs:
    • Are you running any AVS testnets other than EigenDA?
    • Are there any AVSs you plan to opt-in to?
    • How do you plan to evaluate AVSs?
    • Are there any types of AVSs you would not opt into?

Enhance Your Visibility on Social Media:

As a reminder, the operator set on mainnet will be determined by the amount of delegated stake (Top 200 with plans to scale overtime). You can draw attention to your campaign for delegations by actively sharing your qualifications as an operator for the EigenLayer mainnet launch on social media and link them in your forum post. Remember to include the deployer address you intend to use for your mainnet operations in your posts if available.

Leveraging platforms like Twitter, Farcaster, Lens, etc., helps generate excitement and builds a sense of community and reliability around your operation and the EigenLayer ecosystem.

Ways to get the word out:

  1. Craft a tweet highlighting your role in the EigenLayer operators campaign, your preparedness for the mainnet launch, and your support strategy for the ecosystem.
  2. Tag EigenLayer and EigenDA’s official account to maximize your tweet’s reach. https://twitter.com/eigen_da https://twitter.com/eigenlayer
  3. Include a link to your tweet in the “Social Links” section of your forum post.

Additional Information:

  • Feel free to include any other information you think would be valuable for restakers to know about you and your operation. Of course, only providing truthful and relevant information ;)

Operator Name: StakeCat

Website: https://stakecat.space

Twitter: @Stake_Cat

Operator Profile: Solo Staking Collective

Experience: All our members are Solo Stakers on Ethereum, Rocket pool and DVT, we run one of the first Obol DVT clusters on mainnet.

We have varied experience in other networks such Gnosischain, Cosmos, Celestia and including EigenDA testnet.

Team:

We are a group of Solo Stakers banding together to run AVS:
@GLCstaked, @shimbob_rpl, @cryptoboru, @solardefi, @CVjoint_eth, @alijprof, @yspud

Mainnet restake amount: Most of our members run at least one Native Restaking Validator with EigenLayer.

Where do you run your infra: infrastructure located in Ireland and the US

We have a private data centre, and all our hardware is our own.

What rate do you plan to set your operator commission rate: TBD

Performance Metrics:

Obol DVT: 0x81ae43d925929f614a91726113386fc10dc6f76844c911413e9f44676160408c970bc8f32dc8b55b9071bbc6ef377cb6

EigenDA Testnet Performance:

Operator Name: 1to
Website: https://www.1to.net
Operator Address: 0x9631af6a712d296fedb800132edcf08e493b12cd
Operator Profile: Solo-Staker
Team: Early crypto adopters, private investors, highly skilled in Python, C++, and Rust, winners of several ZK proving testnets.
Mainnet Restake Amount: 250+ stETH
Infrastructure Region: USA, Germany, Netherlands
Operator Commission Rate: 3%
Performance Metrics: 99.8% uptime

EigenDA Testnet Performance:
The testnet ran smoothly, thanks to the developers’ excellent work; we never had to look for sources, find bugs, or make improvements. The manuals were so comprehensive that anyone could become an operator.

We’ve been part of the active set from the start with a high stake, which allowed us to succeed by building a small Python script to stake in the Lido contract (initially there was a 4 ETH per block limit, later reduced to 2 ETH per block), shared with our Telegram community. In a short time, we reached 3rd place by TVL with more than 1,000 stakers.

Of course, we maintained a 99.9% uptime and upgraded our node as soon as updates were released.

We understand that the chances of attracting as many stakers on the mainnet are small, given the number of “professional validators”, but it was a pleasure to participate in this unincentivized testnet. It was a way to support EigenLayer’s excellent project and its high level of realization.

  • Operator Name: Staking4All

  • Website: https://www.staking4all.org/

  • Operator Profile: Solo-Staker.

  • Experience: We have been running validator nodes since 2018 and participated in many networks that include Polygon, Polkadot, Near, Celestia and many more. ETH specific networks include ETH, DVT technology with Obol, SSV and Lido. We are a verified Staking Provider which factors in things like a provider’s security measures, track record of performance, and business operations. Staking Rewards’ Verification Criteria ensure that providers meet high standards in these areas, giving delegators peace of mind when choosing where to stake their assets.

  • Team: Staking4All takes pride in its status as an independent professional validator and decentralized infrastructure provider. We are among the few operating from Africa, and as of now, we are not aware of any other multi-POS operator of our size based in South Africa or elsewhere on the continent.

  • Mainnet restake amount: 1 ETH

  • Where do you run your infra: infrastructure is located in EU, US and Africa.

  • What rate do you plan to set your operator commission rate: The commission rates we set across our supported networks are consistently fair, reasonable, and strategically devised to maximize rewards for our stakers. As we anticipate the introduction of staker rewards, our initial plan ranges from 2% to 5%, with adjustments to be made closer to the time based on tokenomics and additional information that Eigen Layer will release closer to the time.

  • Performance Metrics: We ensure uninterrupted high uptime across all our Proof-of-Stake networks and work diligently to enhance rewards for our stakers. Presently, we have over $250 million staked across the networks we operate on. Rest assured, we are committed to further expansion and reliability within the Eigen Layer ecosystem.

  • EigenDA Testnet Performance:

    • We joined the Eigen operator set early and ran an operator with high uptime
    • We accumulated stake and several stakers, this info is available on Eigen Layer Operator Dashbaord
    • Where possible we tested restake functionality extensively across the different tokens but also our own test eth on georli beacon node. We assisted other operators and helped anyone that needed assistance with getting their operator running. Any bugs, recommendations for improvements was provided to the team

  • Where possible we have and will continue market Eigen Layer or create useful community content as seen in these links, link 1, link 2

  • Plans to opt-into additional AVSs:

    • Participated in AVS testnets - We actively participated in EigenDA AVS, Magnate AVS and in discussions with other promising ones
    • Plan to opt-in to new ones as they come alive

We look forward to the community support and growing our operator in the Eigen Layer network.
