Glossary

AVS (Actively Validated Services):

A security framework within EigenLayer that enforces validation and consensus mechanisms across participating nodes, ensuring reliable and secure task execution.

BLS Signatures:

A cryptographic signature scheme that aggregates multiple signatures into a single one for efficient verification and secure consensus in decentralized networks.

Cross-Chain Communication:

A mechanism that facilitates secure data and event transmission between different blockchain networks, enabling interoperability.

Keeper:

A designated operator within the TriggerX network responsible for executing predefined tasks on specified smart contracts.

L1 (Layer 1):

The base blockchain network that serves as the primary source of truth for data and contract execution, such as Ethereum.

L2 (Layer 2):

Secondary blockchain networks that operate on top of L1 networks to provide scalability and faster transaction processing, such as Base Sepolia or OP Sepolia.

ProxyHub Contract:

The central coordination contract on Base Sepolia verifies keeper registration and broadcasts updates to all L2 networks.

ProxySpoke Contract:

A contract is deployed on specific L2 networks to maintain synchronized keeper registries and verify credentials locally.

Registration Process:

The process by which keepers register or unregister themselves with the AVS Governance contract to gain or revoke execution authorization.

Secure Keeper Execution Framework:

A structured architecture that ensures only registered and verified keepers can execute tasks across multiple blockchain networks in the TriggerX ecosystem.

Task Execution:

The process of executing a predefined function or job on a smart contract, typically managed by keepers in the TriggerX network.
