AVS Operator

The AVS Operator in our ecosystem plays an important role, leveraging the advanced framework of EigenLayer's Actively Validated Services (AVS). This allows the network to harness decentralized, secure, and efficient computing resources. AVS Operators will act as the computing providers for security services. They will receive security inspection requests from users and run different SecWares based on the requests to deliver security services. AVS Operators can provide real-time support to users by conducting transaction simulations, risk analyses, and more, ensuring the overall stability of the security services.

Responsibilities of Compute Node Contributors

AVS Operators play a critical role in ensuring the integrity and efficiency of the network. These operators participate in validating the execution of off-chain security analysis tasks while being subject to on-chain slashing conditions if they fail to meet security or operational standards. Through EigenLayer, operators can reuse their staked Ethereum for multiple services, allowing them to earn additional rewards while reinforcing the security framework.

Provision of Computational Resources

The core duty of AVS Operators is to deploy and operate SecWare AVS, supplying the required computational power to support the continuous operation of SecWare AVS. This includes ensuring sufficient processing capacity and memory resources to perform security services and risk analyses, which are critical for handling large-scale data and executing real-time analytics.

Security Enforcement

Operators are responsible for maintaining the security of the services they validate. They are incentivized to perform their duties honestly due to slashing conditions imposed by EigenLayer’s smart contracts. Malicious or negligent behavior could result in the forfeiture of their staked assets.

Network and System Maintenance

AVS Operators are also responsible for the maintenance of their nodes, including monitoring system health, performing regular updates and upgrades, and addressing any technical issues. This ensures that the compute nodes can continuously provide efficient, reliable services supporting the stable operation of SecWare.

Incentives

AVS Operators are compensated through multiple revenue streams. To register as an operator, they are required to restake a certain amount of ETH or $GPS. By validating services that run on the EigenLayer framework, they can earn additional staking rewards. Alongside the base Ethereum staking rewards and extra fees from SecWare AVS reward, operators can also earn $GPS token rewards by running SecWare. More details regarding the registration process for GoPlus SecWare AVS Operators will be announced at launch. This provides operators with a robust incentive to participate and contribute to the GoPlus Network.

Conclusion

AVS Operators are vital for ensuring that SecWares in the GoPlus Ecosystem operate efficiently and continuously. By providing stable and reliable computational resources, they enable SecWare to offer in-depth security analysis and risk assessments to users in real time, thus enhancing the overall security and efficacy of the ecosystem.
