BVS Registry

The BVS Registry is a central record-keeping contract for all Operators and Services within the SatLayer ecosystem. It serves as a directory where Operators and Services can register themselves and establish mutual relationships.

The BVS Registry provides essential bookkeeping for the vault-router to query delegations and determine if an Operator is validating a Service. This enables the vault-router to make informed vault management decisions, such as queuing funds withdrawal from the Vault when delegated.

Operator and Service Registration: Allows addresses to register as Operators or Services
Bidirectional Relationships: Establishes mutual connections between Operators and Services
Metadata Management: Supports optional metadata (name, URI) for Operators and Services
Status Tracking: Tracks the registration status between Operators and Services
Event-Based Metadata: Emits metadata as events rather than storing it on-chain
Delegation Information: Provides critical data for vault management decisions

Registration Process

An Operator/Service can register a Service/Operator to run and vice versa. However, both the Operator and Service must register to each other to establish an active relationship.

As an Operator, registering a Service indicates willingness to run that Service
As a Service, registering an Operator indicates willingness to be run by that Operator
