## OPERATOR

Kiln recommends that the OPERATOR is setup as a hot wallet for use in scripts and automation.

It's rights are limited to changing the validators list, changes must then be approved by the admin.

The address can be changed by OPERATOR\_FEE\_RECIPIENT

<table><thead><tr><th>Contract</th><th width="180">Action</th><th width="170">Description</th><th>Regularity</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>StakingContract</td><td>addValidators</td><td>Add new validator deposit data to be approved by the SYS_ADMIN</td><td>1/mth (depends on the deposit volume)</td></tr><tr><td>StakingContract</td><td>removeValidators</td><td>Remove validators that are not funded</td><td>Exception</td></tr></tbody></table>

## OPERATOR\_FEE\_RECIPIENT

Kiln recommends that the OPERATOR\_FEE\_RECIPIENT is setup as a multi-sig between multiple parties inside the Operator entity, this is where the operator fee will flow to.&#x20;

<table><thead><tr><th width="171">Contract</th><th width="210">Action</th><th width="259">Description</th><th>Regularity</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>StakingContract</td><td>setOperatorAddresses</td><td>Change Operator Address and/or Operator Commission  recipient address</td><td>Exception</td></tr></tbody></table>
