If you have been running one or more operators on the Drosera Holesky testnet, please execute the following steps for each operator.

1. Shut down the operator

2. If you have been running a delegation client with your operator, shut it down. We are discontinuing the delegation client. This will not apply to most operators.

3. Update to the latest operator binary by running droseraup. If you prefer, you can download the binary directly from our Github releases https://github.com/drosera-network/releases/releases/tag/v1.20.0

4. Navigate to the directory your drosera.toml file is in and open the file in your favorite editor.

   ...
    
   [eth]
   rpc_url = "<http://my-holesky-rpc-url.io>"
   ...
    
   [network]
   ...
    
   [server]
   ...
    
   [instrumentation]
   ...
   

   Update the rpc_url field to your preferred RPC URL for the Hoodi testnet. For operators, we recommend using a quality RPC on a platform like https://www.alchemy.com/, or hosting your own node. Save the file.

5. Register your operator address with the Drosera contract. No need to change keys, you can keep using the same keypair you were using on Holesky. You only need to register it on the Hoodi testnet. Run the register command (https://dev.drosera.io/operators/register#register-as-an-operator-️). Update the rpc url and the private key arguments to your personal values before running. Make sure your account on Hoodi has some ETH for gas. You can get some from a faucet like https://hoodi-faucet.pk910.de/.

   drosera-operator register --eth-rpc-url <hoodi-rpc-url> --eth-private-key <your-operator-private-key> --drosera-address 0x91cB447BaFc6e0EA0F4Fe056F5a9b1F14bb06e5D
   

6. Once your operator address is registered successfully, you can restart the operator and it will now spin up pointing to the Hoodi testnet.

7. Opt-in to some traps! Find some traps in need of operators on the Drosera dapp https://app.drosera.io/

   drosera-operator optin --eth-rpc-url <your-hoodi-rpc-url> --eth-private-key <your-operator-private-key> --trap-config-address <trap-address>
   

And with that, welcome to the Drosera Hoodi Testnet! 🚀
