Environment Prerequisites

Here are the environment prerequisites for integrating external AVSs with Imua.

The integration involves two key components:

• The Imua on-chain AVS smart contract. To begin, it's necessary to develop a customized AVS smart contract based on the provided Solidity smart contract template within hello-world-avs. This requires a Solidity environment version 0.8.17 or higher for contract deployment.

• The Imua off-chain AVS client software, which facilitates interaction with the Imua Networks for AVS Service. It is necessary to install, build, and run the AVS client software hello-world-avs to ensure proper functionality.

• For a more detailed understanding of the AVS software code, you may refer to the detailed implementation in imua-avs-sdk; the hello-world-avs project relies on this as a dependency.

AVS and Operators Prerequisites

The AVSServiceContract.sol and IAVSManager.sol contracts should be deployed on the Imua chain, similar as following:

The precompiled contract efficiently manages all essential functions for onboarding preparation, facilitating support for EVM transactions. Such as:

• As the AVS need to choose the operator that they want to register, so the according operators must register into the Imua network.

• The AVS should be aware by Imua network, so the AVS must register with Imua chain.

• Tasks must be defined for the AVSs on the Imua chain to facilitate future on-chain task verification, reward, and other operational purposes.
