Catalyst-CLI
Catalyst-CLI is a command line tool for node operators to easily manage AVS infrastructure across different restaking protocols.
It works particularly well with AVSs built using Catalyst-SDK, creating a synergistic combination of AVS building & infrastructure management.
Features:
- Think of it as “Kubernetes for managing AVS infra”.
- Offers unified node setup for AVSs distributed across multiple restaking protocols.
- Includes key management, setup & monitoring among other features.
1. Multi Deployment Support
- Efficiently manages multiple AVS binaries at once.
- Load docker images built using catalyst-sdk.
- Also run your full or validator node as a systemd process
- Handle AVS upgrades gracefully.
2. Key Management
- Efficiently manages private keys of node operators across multiple shared security protocols.
- Provides a single unified key management solution.
- Supports variety of key management solutions like on disk, KMS (AWS, HashiCorp), Remote Signer (web3signer), etc.
3. Observability
- Provides a single observability view to manage AVS operations across multiple restaking platforms efficiently.
- Provides all the essential observability features such as:
| Feature | Use |
|---|---|
| Prometheus | Pulls metrics for Grafana dashboard and Alert Manager |
| Grafana | Visual dashboard for metrics |
| Loki | Provides log aggregation system and metrics |
| Profiling | Valuable for debugging via tools like pprof |
| Tracing | Debugging using tracing |
| Alert manager | Manages alerts when certain thresholds cross (say 5% of AVS stake slashed) |
| Runtime statistics | Collection and analysis of runtime stats for a high-level overview of AVS performance |
