Operator FAQ
The EigenLayer Operator FAQ is available here.
How do I get whitelisted to run an operator?
To get whitelisted, you need to fill out the form available here and wait for the Aligned team to approve your request.
What RPC should I use?
We suggest you use your own nodes for better performance and reliability. Note that the node must support HTTP and WebSockets.
We also recommend the following RPC providers:
Two RPCs are used, one as the main one, and the other one as a fallback in case one node is working unreliably.
Default configurations is set up to use the same public node in both scenarios.
PUBLIC NODES SHOULDN'T BE USED AS THE MAIN RPC. We recommend not using public nodes at all.
FALLBACK AND MAIN RPCs SHOULD BE DIFFERENT.
Most of the actions will pass through the main RPC unless there is a problem with it. Events are fetched from both nodes.
How can I check if the version I'm using is the latest one?
You can check the latest version available on the releases' page.
How do I check the operator version registered on the Aligned version tracking system?
You can get the registered version of your operator by running the following command:
Replace <operator_address> with your operator address.
In future releases, the explorer will show the operator version and the latest available version.
How do I check the operator version locally?
To see the operator version, run:
You have to be in the root aligned-layer directory to run this command.
This will show the version of the operator you have built in your filesystem.
How do I get the ID of the operator?
You can get the ID of the operator by running the following command:
Note: You need to have installed Foundry
This will return the operator ID if the operator is registered, otherwise it will return 0x.
