| 1 | +# Operator FAQ |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +The EigenLayer Operator FAQ is available [here](https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/eigenlayer/operator-guides/operator-faq). |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +### How do I get whitelisted to run an operator? |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +To get whitelisted, |
| 8 | +you need to fill out the form available [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdH9sgfTz4v33lAvwj6BvYJGAeIshQia3FXz36PFfF-WQAWEQ/viewform) |
| 9 | +and wait for the Aligned team to approve your request. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +### What RPC should I use? |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +We suggest you use your own nodes for better performance and reliability. Note that the node must support HTTP and WebSockets. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +We also recommend the following RPC providers: |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +- [Infura](https://infura.io/) |
| 18 | +- [Blast](https://blastapi.io/) |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +The default configuration uses the public nodes RPC. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Since `v0.5.2`, there is a fallback mechanism to have two RPCs, so you need to add a second RPC for redundancy. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +### How can I check if the version I'm using is the latest one? |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +You can check the latest version available on the [releases' page](https://github.com/yetanotherco/aligned_layer/releases). |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### How do I check the operator version registered on the Aligned version tracking system? |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +You can get the registered version of your operator by running the following command: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +```bash |
| 33 | +curl https://holesky.tracker.alignedlayer.com/versions/<operator_address> |
| 34 | +``` |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Replace `<operator_address>` with your operator address. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +In future releases, the explorer will show the operator version and the latest available version. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### How do I check the operator version locally? |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +To see the operator version, run: |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +```bash |
| 45 | +./operator/build/aligned-operator --version |
| 46 | +``` |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +You have to be in the root `aligned-layer` directory to run this command. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +This will show the version of the operator you have built in your filesystem. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +### How do I get the ID of the operator? |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +You can get the ID of the operator by running the following command: |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +```bash |
| 57 | +cast call \ |
| 58 | + --rpc-url https://ethereum-holesky-rpc.publicnode.com \ |
| 59 | + 0xD0A725d82649f9e4155D7A60B638Fe33b3F25e3b \ |
| 60 | + "getOperatorId(address operator)(bytes32)" <operator_address> |
| 61 | +``` |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +> Note: You need to have installed [Foundry](https://book.getfoundry.sh/) |
| 64 | +
|
| 65 | +This will return the operator ID if the operator is registered, otherwise it will return `0x`. |
