Prepare for and Deploy to Testnet and Mainnet

Preparing and Deploying to Testnet​

  1. Package the Operator’s long running executable in a way that is easy for Operators to launch (via binary, docker container, or similar).

  2. Author Testnet user and Operator documentation, including:

    • Trust Modeling: clarify any trust assumptions in your architecture to your users. Identify the components that are trusted (centralized) and untrusted (decentralized, trustless).
    • Operator instructions to install, register, deregister.
    • End user (aka “Consumer”) instructions to utilize your AVS service.
    • Communication channels that will be utilized for AVS upgrades.
    • Describe Operator monitoring tooling available, such as GraFana dashboards, log files or similar.

  3. Follow the AVS Developer Security Best Practices and Key Manage Considerations for Developers.

  4. Follow the Testnet Dashboard Onboarding instructions.

  5. Implement Rewards distributions per the instructions here.

Preparing and Deploying to Mainnet​

  1. Smart Contract Auditing: have your codebase audited with at least 2-3 reputable audit firms.
  2. Finalize User and Operator documentation.
  3. Follow the Mainnet Dashboard Onboarding instructions.
