Summary
Chaos Labs presents this AVS onboarding template as an initial step in our strategic partnership with the ether.fi community. The form is meticulously designed to gather all pertinent information required for comprehensive risk analysis and reporting to the DAO on AVSs applying for an allocation from ether.fi. We encourage new AVS partners applying for an allocation from ether.fi to use this template when presenting themselves to the ether.fi community.
Motivation
As ether.fi and the restaking ecosystem continue to grow, it will be crucial to analyze the specific risks introduced when making effective AVS allocation decisions. This requires standardizing the onboarding process to ensure all relevant information is publicly available. Clear standardized disclosures will empower the community to appraise the specific risk and reward characteristics of each AVS applying for an allocation from ether.fi.
