Ethereum Mainnet

1) Prerequisites

It's assumed you have ECDSA, BLS keys, and you are registered as Operator in EigenLayer contracts

Our AVS on mainnet requires at least 32 ETH of total stake to be able to join.

2) Opt in to Silent Network AVS

The releases of the silent_network_operator_cli tool are currently in a private repository. Please contact us to get access.

1. Download AVS CLI (private repository) to opt in to the AVS, select the one that reflects your OS and the CPU architecture. The archive contains the binary called silent_network_operator_cli, extract it.

   1. On linux, allow to execute chmod +x silent_network_operator_cli

   2. On Mac:

      1. Allow to execute:

         chmod +x silent_network_operator_cli

      2. Remove quarantine flag

         xattr -d com.apple.quarantine silent_network_operator_cli

2. Create a file .env.operator.cli in the same place as the CLI you've downloaded. Fill it with following content:

# Addresses from official SilentShard AVS deployment (proxies) on Mainnet

# Your operator ETH address derived from the ECDSA key used during registration
OPERATOR_ETH_ADDRESS=

# Mainnet ETH RPC URL
ETH_RPC_URL=
ETH_WS_URL=

# The ECDSA key used to register to the AVS and EL contracts
# This should be full path to your local ecdsa key file
ECDSA_PRIVATE_KEY_STORE_PATH=
# The password to the store
ECDSA_KEY_PASSWORD=

# The BLS key to register in the BLS registry, used to sign the responses
# We are using bn254 curve for bls keys
# This should be full path to your local bls key file
BLS_PRIVATE_KEY_STORE_PATH=
# The password to the store
BLS_KEY_PASSWORD=

1. Fill unset variables:

• OPERATOR_ETH_ADDRESS - the ETH address derived from ECDSA pubkey

• ETH_RPC_URL, ETH_WS_URL - the endpoints to the Ethereum nodes, you can pick ones that are freely available: https://chainlist.org/chain/1

• ECDSA_PRIVATE_KEY_STORE_PATH, BLS_PRIVATE_KEY_STORE_PATH - path to the key generated by eigenlayer CLI, example: /home/user/.eigenlayer/operator_keys/operator_test.ecdsa.key.json

• ECDSA_KEY_PASSWORD, BLS_KEY_PASSWORD- password set during key generation

1. Register to the AVS

silent_network_operator_cli register-operator-with-avs

1. Print the status to confirm

silent_network_operator_cli print-operator-status

Example output

Printing operator status
{
...
 "RegisteredWithAvs": true,
 "OperatorId": "c4c210300e28ab4ba70b7fbb0efa557d2a2a5f1fbfa6f856e4cf3e9d766a21dc",
 "RestakedStrategies": [
  "0xf5059a5d33d5853360d16c683c16e67980206f36"
 ],
 "StakeInQuorums": {
  "0": 32000000000000000000
 }
}

You should noticed stake in StakeInQuorums equal to the amount you delegated, in Wei, and RegisteredWithAvs should be set to true.

1. Go to the Operator dashboard (https://app.eigenlayer.xyz/operator/0xYOUR_ETH_ADDRESS) to confirm you are securing the Silent Network AVS. The status might refresh after some time. Usually takes less than 10 minutes.

Thats it! You are officially registered to the Silent Network AVS!
