Set up your Environment

1

Install the Othentic CLI

Make sure you’re running the Node v22.6.0 (precisely), see here:

node -v

If you don’t have Node installed, you can download it through NVM.

Now run the installation command:

npm i -g @othentic/othentic-cli

Verify the installation by running:

othentic-cli -v

You should see an output similar to the below (version may vary based on releases):

othentic-cli version 1.x.y
2

Register as an Operator

The Othentic CLI provides commands for registering as an operator as well as managing your account:

For Holesky, our AVS Governance address is: 0x87774A9Ae979aB1E77a78D11668B7a3Ee1F8ACe6

othentic-cli operator register

Now, convert some of that ETH to stETH before depositing into EigenLayer:

othentic-cli operator deposit --strategy stETH --shares 0.01 --convert 0.012

Activate your Operator by depositing into EigenLayer. Deposit at least 0.01 stETH into EigenLayer pool:

othentic-cli operator deposit --strategy stETH --shares 0.01
