Operator tooling
Operating an Aztec node usually involves more than the node software itself. Most operators rely on a combination of Foundation-built tools (staking dashboard, fee model) and community-built tools (dashboards, scripts, indexers) that fill specific gaps. This page is a curated index.
Foundation tools are built and maintained by the Aztec Foundation. Community tools are independent projects by individual operators or teams. Use them at your own discretion: read the source where it's available, and don't assume Foundation endorsement of operational correctness. The list below reflects what operators in the network's community actively use today.
Foundation tools
Staking dashboard
The canonical interface for staking, delegation, registering sequencers, claiming rewards, and signaling governance. Supports both delegator and provider flows. Recently gained multi-rollup reward claiming (PR #66) and a provider commission-claim tab (PR #72).
The backend API that serves this dashboard is not a supported public surface: its endpoints, response shapes, and rate limits can change without notice. If you need stable programmatic access to staking data, run your own indexer instead of calling the dashboard backend. The dashboard's indexer, atp-indexer, is open source (a Ponder indexer in the staking-dashboard repository) and serves as the reference implementation you can self-host.
Fee model
github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-fee-model
A self-hostable spreadsheet model for sequencer profitability under different gas, AZTEC price, and commission inputs. Useful for providers calibrating their commission rate.
Staking payout script
github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-staking-payout
Opt-in payout script for providers who set their coinbase to an address they control instead of the per-delegation Split contracts. Calculates each delegator's rewards at the provider's published commission and produces a Multicall3 transfer batch plus auditable JSON artifacts. See the forum announcement.
Community tools
Monitoring and dashboards
dashtec.xyz The de-facto operator dashboard for the network. Per-epoch performance, provider pages, the activation queue, watchlists.
aztec.vision Indexer-style provider information. Surfaces misconfigured coinbase addresses (a frequent operator footgun), per-provider stats, and history.
haveibeenslashed.xyz A focused single-purpose tool for checking whether a given attester address has been hit by slashing or jailing events.
aztec-providers.01.ro A provider-side indexer, useful as a cross-check for provider-side reward routing.
citizenweb3/chain-data-indexer (aztec branch)
A self-hostable Aztec L2 indexer (Chicmoz-based, MIT): a listener that ingests proposed and proven blocks, transactions, and chain info, plus an explorer REST API. Useful if you want your own chain/explorer data feed rather than relying on a hosted explorer. For staking-specific data, the dashboard's atp-indexer (above) is the closer fit.
Scripts and installers
pittpv/aztec-monitoring-script A bash-menu installer and monitoring script. One-stop install, upgrade, downgrade, status check, and Telegram alerting. The most widely recommended onboarding tool in the operator community.
pittpv/aztec-rpc-script Companion script for setting up your own Ethereum execution + consensus client (with the supernode flags Aztec requires). Avoids depending on a hosted RPC provider.
Coordination
aztecgov.nethermind.io Nethermind's governance signaling dashboard. Shows the current AZIP payload, who has signaled, and what's pending. Operators use this to confirm a vote made it onchain.
slashveto.me The community veto council's coordination surface. Monitors slashing payloads and signals which ones the council intends to veto. Operators consult this during incidents where their setup might trip a slashing condition.
