If you have SAME Operator and Reward Address

Propose Reward Address change with the Existing Reward Address​

If your Operator and Reward addresses are the SAME, you can propose a Reward Address change in two simple ways: through the Command Line Interface (CLI) or by using a Smart Contract with your Existing Reward Address.

Propose change through CLI

• Node operators can execute this command: ~/bin/stader-cli node set-reward-address --operator-reward-address <new reward address>

• Make sure to replace <new reward address> with the New Reward Address you want to use.

Propose change through Smart Contract:

1. Visit the PermissionlessNodeRegistry Smart Contract:

   • Mainnet: https://etherscan.io/address/0x4f4Bfa0861F62309934a5551E0B2541Ee82fdcF1#writeProxyContract

   • Testnet: https://holesky.etherscan.io/address/0x08CDa83AfEA67cC932daEb2Cacf1ee2C09Fb0F75#writeProxyContract

2. Connect your wallet with the Smart Contract, using your Existing Reward Address.

   
3. Click on the "ProposeRewardAddress" function.

   
4. Enter your Operator Address (for node identification) and the New Reward Address, then click the "Write" button.
