The BLSApkRegistry tracks the current aggregate BLS pubkey for all Operators registered to each quorum, and keeps a historical record of each quorum's aggregate BLS pubkey hash. This contract makes heavy use of the BN254 library to perform various operations on the BN254 elliptic curve (see BN254.sol).

Each time an Operator registers for a quorum, its BLS pubkey is added to that quorum's currentApk. Each time an Operator deregisters from a quorum, its BLS pubkey is subtracted from that quorum's currentApk. This contract maintains a history of the hash of each quorum's apk over time, which is used by the BLSSignatureChecker to fetch the "total signing key" for a quorum at a specific block number.

High-level Concepts

This document organizes methods according to the following themes (click each to be taken to the relevant section):

Registering and Deregistering

These methods are ONLY called through the RegistryCoordinator - when an Operator registers for or deregisters from one or more quorums:

registerBLSPublicKey

function registerBLSPublicKey(
    address operator,
    PubkeyRegistrationParams calldata params,
    BN254.G1Point calldata pubkeyRegistrationMessageHash
) 
    external 
    onlyRegistryCoordinator 
    returns (bytes32 operatorId)

struct PubkeyRegistrationParams {
    BN254.G1Point pubkeyRegistrationSignature;
    BN254.G1Point pubkeyG1;
    BN254.G2Point pubkeyG2;
}

This method is ONLY callable by the RegistryCoordinator. It is called when an Operator registers for the AVS for the first time.

This method validates a BLS signature over the pubkeyRegistrationMessageHash, then permanently assigns the pubkey to the Operator. The hash of params.pubkeyG1 becomes the Operator's unique operatorId, which identifies the Operator throughout the registry contracts.

Entry Points:

  • RegistryCoordinator.registerOperator
  • RegistryCoordinator.registerOperatorWithChurn

Effects:

  • Registers the Operator's BLS pubkey for the first time, updating the following mappings:
    • operatorToPubkey[operator]
    • operatorToPubkeyHash[operator]
    • pubkeyHashToOperator[pubkeyHash]

Requirements:

  • Caller MUST be the RegistryCoordinator
  • params.pubkeyG1 MUST NOT hash to the ZERO_PK_HASH
  • operator MUST NOT have already registered a pubkey:
    • operatorToPubkeyHash[operator] MUST be zero
    • pubkeyHashToOperator[pubkeyHash] MUST be zero
  • params.pubkeyRegistrationSignature MUST be a valid signature over pubkeyRegistrationMessageHash

registerOperator

function registerOperator(
    address operator,
    bytes memory quorumNumbers
) 
    public 
    virtual 
    onlyRegistryCoordinator

registerOperator fetches the Operator's registered BLS pubkey (see registerBLSPublicKey above). Then, for each quorum in quorumNumbers, the Operator's pubkey is added to that quorum's currentApk. The apkHistory for the quorumNumber is also updated to reflect this change.

This method is ONLY callable by the RegistryCoordinator, and is called when an Operator registers for one or more quorums. This method assumes that operator is not already registered for any of quorumNumbers, and that there are no duplicates in quorumNumbers. These properties are enforced by the RegistryCoordinator.

Entry Points:

  • RegistryCoordinator.registerOperator
  • RegistryCoordinator.registerOperatorWithChurn

Effects:

  • For each quorum in quorumNumbers:
    • Add the Operator's pubkey to the quorum's apk in currentApk[quorum]
    • Updates the quorum's apkHistory, pushing a new ApkUpdate for the current block number and setting its apkHash to the new hash of currentApk[quorum].
      • Note: If the most recent entry in apkHistory[quorum] was made during the current block, this method updates the most recent entry rather than pushing a new one.

Requirements:

  • Caller MUST be the RegistryCoordinator
  • operator MUST already have a registered BLS pubkey (see registerBLSPublicKey above)
  • Each quorum in quorumNumbers MUST be initialized (see initializeQuorum below)

deregisterOperator

function deregisterOperator(
    address operator,
    bytes memory quorumNumbers
) 
    public 
    virtual 
    onlyRegistryCoordinator

deregisterOperator fetches the Operator's registered BLS pubkey (see registerBLSPublicKey above). For each quorum in quorumNumbers, deregisterOperator performs the same steps as registerOperator above - except that the Operator's pubkey is negated. Whereas registerOperator "adds" a pubkey to each quorum's apk, deregisterOperator "subtracts" a pubkey from each quorum's apk.

This method is ONLY callable by the RegistryCoordinator, and is called when an Operator deregisters from one or more quorums. This method assumes that operator is registered for all quorums in quorumNumbers, and that there are no duplicates in quorumNumbers. These properties are enforced by the RegistryCoordinator.

Entry Points:

  • RegistryCoordinator.registerOperatorWithChurn
  • RegistryCoordinator.deregisterOperator
  • RegistryCoordinator.ejectOperator
  • RegistryCoordinator.updateOperators
  • RegistryCoordinator.updateOperatorsForQuorum

Effects:

  • For each quorum in quorumNumbers:
    • Negate the Operator's pubkey, then subtract it from the quorum's apk in currentApk[quorum]
    • Updates the quorum's apkHistory, pushing a new ApkUpdate for the current block number and setting its apkHash to the new hash of currentApk[quorum].
      • Note: If the most recent entry in apkHistory[quorum] was made during the current block, this method updates the most recent entry rather than pushing a new one.

Requirements:

  • Caller MUST be the RegistryCoordinator
  • operator MUST already have a registered BLS pubkey (see registerBLSPublicKey above)
  • Each quorum in quorumNumbers MUST be initialized (see initializeQuorum below)

System Configuration

initializeQuorum

function initializeQuorum(
    uint8 quorumNumber
) 
    public 
    virtual 
    onlyRegistryCoordinator

This method is ONLY callable by the RegistryCoordinator. It is called when the RegistryCoordinator Owner creates a new quorum.

initializeQuorum initializes a new quorum by pushing an initial ApkUpdate to apkHistory[quorumNumber]. Other methods can validate that a quorum exists by checking whether apkHistory[quorumNumber] has a nonzero length.

Entry Points:

  • RegistryCoordinator.createQuorum

Effects:

  • Pushes an ApkUpdate to apkHistory[quorumNumber]. The update has a zeroed out apkHash, and its updateBlockNumber is set to the current block.

Requirements:

  • Caller MUST be the RegistryCoordinator
  • apkHistory[quorumNumber].length MUST be zero
