  • Plans to opt-into additional AVSs:

    • Are you running any AVS testnets other than EigenDA? No

    • Are there any AVSs you plan to opt-in to? Yes. We are currently looking into Decentralized Sequencers, Privacy-Enhanced Oracles and Specialized Data Storage Layers.

    • How do you plan to evaluate AVSs?

      1. Audit and Code Review: The most critical aspect is the security of the AVS, which can be gauged through comprehensive audits and public code reviews.
      2. Slashing History: Review the history of slashing incidents.
      3. Unintended Slashing Mitigation: Review the measures in place to prevent unintended slashing,
      4. Node Performance: Consider the performance benchmarks of nodes within the AVS.
      5. Reward Structure: Understand how rewards are distributed among stakers and validators.
      6. Use Cases and Applications: Evaluate the range of applications and use cases the AVS supports, and its potential to enable new functionalities within the Ethereum ecosystem.

    • Are there any types of AVSs you would not opt into? We welcome any AVS that meets our criteria.
      We are cautious about some specialized or niche AVS in the Ethereum ecosystem that might focus on very particular functionalities rather than a broad range of applications. Some Low-Latency Networking Layers might rely on more centralized infrastructures or some Identity Verifiers that might attract regulatory scrutiny, especially concerning privacy laws like GDPR are the ones we are cautious about.

Operator name: 01node

Website: www.01node.com & https://linktr.ee/01node

Operator profile: Institutional staker

Experience: With over $350m aum over 40 networks and with the gained trust of over 50,000 users, 01node is a high-quality staking and validation service provider, based in Romania. Our teamsā€™ combined expertise allows us to run a variety of services, not the least of which regards validator-as-a-service, RPC node and application operations, on our time-tested, fully owned and operated infrastructure, from Bare metal servers.

This is well reflected in our reliability track record as we prioritise security and best practices for each layer of our infrastructure. Supported by our sophisticated technical infrastructure, 24/7 customer support, Tier 3 hosted redundant infrastructure and our highly skilled team of professionals we aim to provide the best performance and reliability across our provided services range.

We tested eigenlayer on DVT setups on both obol and ssv with success [restaking works on DVT setups], we have an inhouse built staking pool for both of them with staking integrated, available on demand and soon open to the public.

01nodeandeigenlayerPerformance matrics1280Ɨ609 47.1 KB

Operators on mainnet for other protocols like stride, obol, ssv, gnosis, lido, etc. Participated in multiple testnets run by Lido, on both obol and ssv clusters, we were one of the first to test eigenLayer integration.

eigenlayer01node
eigenlayer01node978Ɨ898 33.7 KB

Team: Our team is currently comprised of over 12 people with their expertise spanning from devops, full stack software development, network design and architecture and information security with their experience adding up to decades.

Mainnet restake amount: 500 eth from treasury + another 500 from our delegators as initial funds, we expect to deploy more capital as soon as we bring our solution to the market.

Where do you run your infrastructure: We run our fully redundant infrastructure in two Tier 3 datacenters based in Bucharest, Romania, both equipped with N+1 redundancies for both cooling and power supply. Our infrastructure consists of fully owned bare metal servers backed up by Cisco networking equipment.

What rate we plan to set our operator commission rate: 5%

Performance Matrics: 98% average attestation effectiveness.

EigenDA Testnet Performance: We have enterprise staking solution with eigenlayer bridge. ES-Staking & SSV DVT System: Enterprise staking architecture by making use of Obol and Ssv Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) for Ethereum staking, underlining the cutting-edge nature of your services.

Our proposed solution offers all of the advantages of ease of use and transparency of an easy to comprehend user oriented frontend interface that existing applications have accustomed their customers to while, under the hood, automatically deploying individual Obol clusters for each individual client using a Ā¾ client configuration, with further customization to be launched at a later time.

Plans to opt-into additional AVSs:

  • Are you running any AVS testnets other than EigenDA?
    No, would love to.

  • Are there any AVSs you plan to opt-in to?
    Yes, we have plans to opt-in to Espresso Systems and Omni Network.

  • How do you plan to evaluate AVSs?
    Evaluation Criteria & Assessment Method for AVSs:

  1. Team Publicity & Reliability:
  • Assessment: Team profiles, past projects, social media.
  • Calculation: Points for team visibility, subtract for transparency issues.
  1. Roadmap Clarity & Feasibility:
  • Assessment: Detailed plan, realistic goals.
  • Calculation: Clear goals, subtract for ambiguity.
  1. Ecosystem Development:
  • Assessment: Partnerships, adoption, ecosystem growth.
  • Calculation: Evaluate partnerships, adoption, expansion.
  1. Regulatory Risks:
  • Assessment: Compliance, legal, strategy.
  • Calculation: Compliance, regulatory response.

Total score indicates AVSs perform, with the lowest score suggesting the strongest AVS.

  • Are there any types of AVSs you would not opt into?
    If they donā€™t meet our evaluation criteria, standards and policies. This process is conducted in close collaboration with our legal department to ensure adherence to regulatory standards.

Why we chose EigenLayer: Reusing ETH to provide security across many services reduces capital costs for a staker to participate and significantly increases the trust guarantees to individual services.EigenLayer solves this problem by enabling any service, regardless of its composition (e.g. EVM-compatibility), to tap into the pooled security of Ethereumā€™s stakers, creating an environment for permissionless innovation and free-market governance.
