Prerequisites:
Web3 Wallet: A Metamask or similar wallet with some ETH to cover registration fees (0.05 ETH recommended). Make sure you have backups of this wallet, as operator payouts will go to this address.
Software Requirements: Install and sync Teku, Nethermind, and MEV-Boost from AVADO’s DappStore.
Installation Steps:
Install Aqua Patina Operator Package:
Connect to your AVADO device via ZeroTier.
Install the Aqua Patina package using this link (until it is released on the DappStore).
Once installed, access the package from AVADO's admin panel.
Click on "Install Package"
Once installed - click “go to AVADO admin” to go the AVADO’s home screen. Press the “Open” button on the new “Aqua Patina Operator package”.
Register as an Operator:
Open the Aqua Patina package and click "Register Operator."
This redirects you to the SSV web app.
Connect your wallet, click "Join as Operator," and then "Register Operator."
Go back to your AVADO Aquapatia package browser tab and click on the underlined “Operator Public Key” value. Copy your Operator Public Key from the Aqua Patina package UI
Paste the "Operator Public Key" into the SSV web app, and set your fee to "0" (operators are paid in apETH).
Sign the transaction in your wallet.
Whitelist the Operator’s Address:
After registration, click "Manage Operator" on the SSV app, then go to "Permission Settings."
Click on the three dots in the right top corner and select “Permission settings” from the menu
Select “Authorized addresses”
Click “Add Authorized Address”
Fill out 0x991a08b9a857729c4e27b4ed0750dd64cbae64fa as the new authorized address.
Now press "Add address" and sign the transaction.
Finalize:
Congrats: you’ve finished the setup process. Your node will now be monitored by the AP system, and your node operator score will be calculated.
