Change Your Delegation to a New Operator

The following steps are necessary for a Restaker to move their Delegated balance to a New Operator. The process below requires users to perform each of the following steps in order:

  • Undelegate assets, which automatically queues a withdrawal. The Undelegate and Queue Withdrawal transactions are combined due to the security architecture of EigenLayer smart contracts.
  • Redeposit each asset.
  • Delegate to the new Operator.
warning

Please follow the recommended steps below carefully to avoid a "partially delegated state". A partially delegated state is when some portion of your assets in Delegated state and other assets in a "queued for withdrawal" or "withdrawal ready for completion" state.
