Operators

Elite operators are a vital component of stELX in order to give users the most competitive rewards available. stELX operators are selected based on their alignment with the Elixir / stELX ecosystem, performance metrics, and security practices. When the protocol launches, stELX holders will have the opportunity to vote on whether an operator should be included in the set. From there, stake distribution is determined as function of performance score and stake contribution to stELX. Current list of genesis operators:
