The following walks you through the process of changing your operator address using Foundry cast.
What is an operator address?
The Operator Address is the $BERA wallet address that is associated with a validator node.
It is responsible for receiving block rewards and is the sole address that has permission to change the BeraChef reward allocation.
Requirements
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
- Operator Address Private Key
- Your Validator Withdraw Credential Address (if different than Operator Address)
- BeaconKit Binary (for Validator PubKey)
- $BERA to process the transaction
- Foundry
Procedure
This process revokes the current operator’s permissions to receive block rewards and change the
validator’s Reward Allocation.
Step 1 - Get your validator PubKey
Step 2 - Check your current operator address
This will double check your current operator address.
Step 3 - Change your operator address
This will change your operator address.
