Setup Internal Tasks

Internal Tasks are consensus-based modules for ongoing maintenance of the AVS network.

This guide will walk you through configuring and running the following Internal Tasks:

1. Voting Power Sync

2. Voting Power Sync Per Task Definition

Prerequisites

• Othentic CLI installed

1

Start the Aggregator Node with Internal Tasks Enabled

Run the Aggregator node using the --internal-tasks flag:

otnode run aggregator --internal-tasks

2

Configure Internal Task Frequency

Set the INTERNAL_TASKS environment variable with a JSON array that defines the execution interval for each internal task.

Example Configuration:

INTERNAL_TASKS='[
  { "name": "VOTING_POWER_SYNC", "interval": 3600000 },
  { "name": "VOTING_POWER_PER_TASK_DEFINITION_SYNC", "interval": 3900000 }
]'

• Default interval: 3600000 ms (1 hour)

• Minimum allowed interval: 60000 ms (1 minute)

3

Monitor Internal Task Execution

To verify that internal tasks are running successfully:

• Check submitTask transactions on the Attestation Center contract.

• Look for the following Task Definition IDs:

  • 10001 – VOTING_POWER_SYNC

  • 10002 – VOTING_POWER_PER_TASK_DEFINITION_SYNC

4

Setup Restricted Operator Set

Enforce successful Internal Tasks execution by specifying a set of trusted Operators.

Set this using:

otcli network set-restricted-attesters

Run above for all the Internal tasks.
