Update Operators

Collusion risks

Please do not change more than 2 operators in a cluster. Each set of generated shares will always be valid when their signing threshold is met (e.g. 3/4). To reduce the risks, it is advised to not change more than 2 of the validator's managing operators when changing its cluster.

Below is the theoretical context around Updating Operators, you can find actionable steps in our separate guide.

Update Operators

A staker can customize and update the operators managing their validator (cluster) at their discretion, allowing them to run it according to their own preferences.

To update a validator's managing operators, follow these steps:

  1. Offboard from the network by removing the validator from its managing cluster.
  2. Wait for at least two epochs to mitigate slashing risk associated with simultaneous validator setups.
  3. Onboard the validator to the network by registering it to a new cluster.
