• Rewards Distribution

• CLI Command Reference - distribute rewards

You can choose one of these options:

1. Eigen Rewards V2

2. Batch Rewards

3. Fixed Rewards

1. Eigen Rewards V2

Prerequisites

• Othentic CLI installed

• Access to AVS governance multisig owner

• Rewards Funds Deposited

1

Unpause Eigen Payments Flow

By default, Eigen Payments rewards distribution is paused. Unpause Eigen Payments by running the following command:

otcli network unpause-flow

Pass --browser-sign flag to connect your wallet and sign using a web browser UI.

When prompted

• enter the private key of AVS governance multisig

• select > Eigen Payments.

• enter Attestation center contract address

If you have already unpaused, Skip this step.

Calculate Required Amount to Deposit and Rewards Batch Parameters

This step calculates time range for EigenLayer Rewards Request Submission. It automatically determines the optimal startTimestamp, duration, fromOperatorId, and toOperatorId for each reward batch.

It also calculates the total amount of tokens the AVS needs to deposit to fund the rewards. It considers factors like retroactive reward limits, reward duration, and the total number of operators.

otcli network rewards calc-eigen-rewards-params

Pass --browser-sign flag to connect your wallet and sign using a web browser UI.

• When prompted enter the private key of the AVS Governance Multisig.

• If the AVS was deployed prior to this update, the cli will prompt for the AVS deployment block number.

Review Output

The command will output:

1. A series of pre-filled commands for submitting the EigenLayer rewards requests using othentic-cli network rewards eigen-batch-request, each with batch-specific parameters.

2. A summary of reward economics, including:

   • Operation cost

   • Current treasury balance

   • Total amount required to deposit for distribution across all batches (in both raw units and notional token value)

This helps the AVS determine the exact amount of tokens it needs to deposit for executing the reward distribution.

Example

otcli network rewards calc-eigen-rewards-params

? Enter your private key: *****************************

use for batch number 1: othentic-cli network rewards eigen-batch-request \
  --startTimestamp 1729728000 --duration 6048000 \
  --fromOperatorId 1 --toOperatorId 3

use for batch number 2: othentic-cli network rewards eigen-batch-request \
  --startTimestamp 1735776000 --duration 6048000 \
  --fromOperatorId 1 --toOperatorId 3

use for batch number 3: othentic-cli network rewards eigen-batch-request \
  --startTimestamp 1741824000 --duration 1814400 \
  --fromOperatorId 1 --toOperatorId 3

Operation cost: 200000000000000000000  
Current treasury balance: 900000000000000000000  
Total rewards to deposit for AVS operation: 199100000000000000000 (notional amount: 199.1)

💬 Copy and paste each eigen-batch-request command into your terminal and run them one by one to complete this step.

EigenLayer Batch Request

This command submits the actual request for EigenLayer rewards. It is is designed to handle large numbers of operators by breaking down the request into manageable batches. Before running the command please ensure

• This command should be called on a Weekly basis.

otcli network rewards eigen-batch-request [options]

Pass --browser-sign flag to connect your wallet and sign using a web browser UI.

Example

Submit an EigenLayer rewards request for operators 1 to 10, starting from timestamp 1672531200 for a duration of 604800 seconds (one week):

otcli network rewards eigen-batch-request \
--startTimestamp 1672531200 --duration 604800 \
--fromOperatorId 1 --toOperatorId 10

Important Considerations for AVSs:

• Optimal Calling Times: EigenLayer requires calling rewards functions with rounded parameters where both startTimestamp and duration must be multiples of ONE_WEEKtime. The duration can be 1, 2, or up to max 10 weeks. Since rewards accumulate continuously and not per epoch, it's advised to check optimal calling times, which are slightly after the end of the each epoch.

• Designated Claimers: Earners can set designated claimer addresses on the RewardsCoordinator contract. If not configured, the Earner address can claim their earnings.

2. Batch Reward Distribution

Prerequisites

• Othentic CLI installed (Install instructions)

• Access to AVS governance multisig owner

• Rewards Funds Deposited

1

Unpause Batch Payments Flow

By default, Batch Payments request flow is paused. Unpause BATCH_PAYMENT_REQUEST_FLOW by running the following command:

otcli network unpause-flow

When prompted

• enter the private key of AVS governance multisig

• select > Batch Payments.

If already unpaused, skip this step.

2

Request Batch Payment

Execute requestBatchPayment method on the Attestation Center contract. This method can only be called by the AVS governance MultiSig or PAYMENT_REQUESTS role.

---

3. Fixed Rewards

1

Request fixed rewards payment

Execute createEigenRewardsSubmission method on the AVS Governance contract. This method can only be called by the AVS governance MultiSig address.
