Installation of Finalizer Operator using docker

AVS Registry Contract: 0xfd6A45621DDfeBF94C082e60E0De92aA305a97a1

Prerequisites:

• Docker installed

• Eigenlayer CLI installed

NOTE: For any Docker based commands, if you have installed as root then you might have to append sudo in front of the command.

Core operations

• Register your operator to eigenlayer using Eigenlayer CLI

• Deposit your stake at Eigenlayer App, see Eigenlayer stake guide for more info.

AVS supports [ankrETH, mETH, stETH, ETHx, osETH, sfrxETH, rETH, WETH] tokens provided by EigenLayer, with minimum of 10 ETH total stake for operator registration Max operators count is currently limited to 50, first come first served. Operators are required to run their nodes with provided docker image. If a registered operator does not provide responses, an automatic check will eventually eject them from the AVS operators active list. Operator stakes are updated regularly, if the stake drops below minimum required stake, operator will be ejected.
