Operators

Operators are crucial players in Drosera, consisting of organizations and solo stakers who run the Drosera Operator Client software to help maintain and protect the DeFi ecosystem. These dedicated individuals are responsible for executing Traps and performing on-chain response actions, ensuring the security and stability of the network.

To execute a Trap, an Operator must first gain permission by opting into the specific Trap. Once opted in, the Operator gains access to the off-chain Trap and the current peers in the network. This allows them to actively participate in monitoring and evaluating every new block based on the conditions set by the Trap.

In the event that the conditions of a Trap are met, the Operator will promptly execute the on-chain response function. This swift action helps to mitigate potential threats and exploits.
