Introduction

Wizard is the world’s first AVS-as-a-Service platform offering rapid AVS deployment and management for builders in the EigenLayer ecosystem. Wizard empowers builders to leverage AVS (Actively Validated Services) in a hassle-free, affordable way, reducing deployment and management time from months to mere minutes!

How Wizard was born

Thanks to our experience with deploying multiple AVSs in production, onboarding over 50 operators to service these AVS, and managing them, we clearly saw the challenges that a new AVS builder faces - both at the launch time and thereafter, when operating and overseeing the AVS functions.

AltLayer had both the expertise and a bird’s eye view of bottlenecks. We were best positioned to build a platform that makes the deployment and management of AVSs 10x easier, significantly reducing the go-to-market time for AVS builders.

Wizard acts as a comprehensive no-code AVS service platform offering 10x speed to manual deployment, with the singular goal of hyper-accelerating the adoption of AVS and restaking for everyone.

With this in mind, the product offers an array of amazing features:

• Deployment of AVSs: AVS Wizard makes it 10x easier to deploy AVS contracts of any kind by providing template AVS contracts (e.g MACH, Coprocessor, Bridge) and a fully-functional custom AVS contract editor. Developers who wish to experiment with a new AVS deployment pipeline now only need to click a few buttons in a simple and intuitive dashboard

• Management of AVSs: While AVS deployment is a one-off step, a deployed AVS may need periodic management and maintenance, for instance, to add new restaking strategies (to allow a new token to be used for economic security). Other features for AVS management include the ability to deploy a custom implementation contract and use the “Upgrade Service Manager” feature to update to your own implementation

• Operator Whitelisting & Onboarding: One of the biggest challenges in launching an AVS is to onboard a varied set of operators with sufficient assets delegated to them needed by the AVS for economic security. Onboarding of operators can be an extremely time-intensive process. AltLayer AVS Wizard aims to take away this pain by offering a simple checkbox of operators. Developers can pick and choose operators they wish to onboard for their AVS. As a part of the service, AltLayer also offers an AltLayer-hosted operator and aggregator for all AVSs making it much easier for AVS builders to quickly experiment with a new AVS idea without the need to onboard any external operators.

  Once the hosted operator is activated, it will be registered to your AVS and be part of your operators. You can also use the wizard to manage operators such as ejection out of the network. This operator is pre-configured to use our generic aggregator. You can then design your operator business logic and call our hosted operator to interact with the AVS. Our operator API docs will be released soon.

• View your AVS on EigenLayer AVS dashboard: Once you have updated your AVS metadata, conforming to EigenLayer requirements, your AVS will automatically appear on EigenLayer AVS Dashboard (https://holesky.eigenlayer.xyz/avs). To update metadata, users can simply head over to your AVS profile and update it!
