Register to AVS

The Othentic CLI allows you to easily register as an Operator to an AVS built with the Othentic Stack. This guide covers the commands and key configurations needed.

You can choose one of these two options:

1. Using the same Controller and Consensus key (for testing environments)

2. Using different Controller and Consensus Key (for production environments)

Prerequisites

1. Registered Operator on EigenLayer

2. Deposited stake in a supported staking contract

3. Your Controller account has sufficient L1 gas funds

4. The AVS Governance contract address you want to register with

5. Optional: A rewards receiver address (can be a smart contract or EOA)

6. If using Option 2: a raw Consensus key
