Prerequisites

Before starting the onboarding process using the DIN app, ensure you have the following ready:

Wallet requirements​

TXTX Only Works with MetaMask

TXTX is only proven to work reliably with MetaMask. We strongly recommend operators use MetaMask for their onboarding TXTX wallet interface. Other wallet connection methods (WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, etc.) will cause TXTX onboarding to fail.

DIN supports multiple wallet setup options for storing your keys (hardware wallets, software wallets), but you must connect through MetaMask when using TXTX for onboarding.

Mainnet​

  • Ensure you have a brand new externally owned account (EOA) wallet, never used with any other EigenLayer AVS.
  • Ensure your wallet is dedicated to DIN only. It cannot be shared with other EigenLayer AVS operations.
Critical for Mainnet

Your wallet MUST be dedicated exclusively to DIN AVS. Using a wallet associated with another AVS will cause operational failures.

Mainnet Launch - November 14th, 2025

DIN AVS is launching on mainnet soon! Operators must begin onboarding with their wallets immediately due to a 17-day operator allocation delay. October 27, 2025 is the latest date to create your wallet and onboard in time for mainnet launch.

Testnet​

  • Any wallet works for testing.

Financial requirements​

  • Ensure you have minimum 1 ETH in your wallet (EigenLayer recommendation).
  • Stake amounts will be calculated during Step 2 based on your operator sets.

Current strategies​

  • stETH (Lido Staked ETH)
  • WETH (Wrapped ETH)
note

Additional strategies will be available after launch.

Technical requirements​

Ensure you have:

  • A compatible browser - Chrome, Firefox, or Brave (latest version).
  • Stable internet for transaction signing.
  • Pop-ups enabled for app.din.build.

Account access​

Ensure you have:

  • An account on the DIN app.
  • Completed the email verification.
  • Access to DIN's TXTX onboarding (automatic during onboarding).

Operator requirements​

Before proceeding, understand:

  • What operator sets you'll be serving.
  • The slashing conditions for the AVS.
  • Performance requirements (≥ 99.9% uptime).
  • There's a 17-day wait for your registered wallet (step 1) to become eligible for rewards and slashing on EigenLayer.
