Time: ~5 minutes.

Fund the publisher​

Send at least 0.1 ETH per attester to your publisher address. The publisher account pays L1 gas every time your node submits a block proof or attestation.

You configured 1 sequencer, so you need at least 0.1 ETH total in the publisher wallet. Adjust the Sequencer count field above if that's wrong.

Monitor publisher balance

If the publisher balance runs dry, your sequencer can't publish blocks and you'll miss attestation rewards. Keep at least 0.1 ETH at all times. Set up an alert at 0.05 ETH.

Verify the balance​

cast balance {{PUBLISHER_ADDR}} --rpc-url {{ETH_RPC}} --ether

What just happened?

You confirmed the publisher account has enough ETH for at least a few weeks of attestation gas, and you confirmed the stake side of the equation matches your track:

  • Self-stake mode locks your 200K AZTEC in the Rollup contract on registration. It's economic security: if your sequencer misbehaves (double-signing, persistent liveness failure), a portion gets slashed.
  • Provider mode registers you in the Governance Staking Escrow as a queue. Delegators stake to your queue. Each delegated stake spawns one attester position you operate.
