Operator Onboarding Process
1
Infrastructure Preparation
Review and prepare your infrastructure according to the system requirements. This includes ensuring you have the necessary hardware, network setup, and security measures in place.
System Requirements
Check the system requirements for running a validator node
2
Restaking Protocol Selection
Choose between Symbiotic or Eigenlayer as your preferred restaking protocol. Each protocol has its own advantages and requirements.
Symbiotic
Opt into dittonetwork by restaking with the DittoNetworkMiddleware contract
Eigenlayer
Opt into dittonetwork by restaking with the EigenlayerAVS contract
3
