Using CLI

Follow the instructions below step by step in order to claim your currently available rewards in the EigenLayer web app via EigenLayer CLI. Rewards can be claimed by a Staker or Operator.

Step 1: Install the latest version of EigenLayer CLI​

Head over to the installation instructions for getting the binary with your preferred way.

Below steps assume that you have used the default binary installation command and your binary is installed at ./bin/ location

Step 2: Check if installation is correct​

./bin/eigenlayer --version

This should output the version of EigenLayer CLI installed

eigenlayer version v<X.X.X>

Step 3: Check if rewards are available to claim​

./bin/eigenlayer rewards show \
  --network mainnet \
  --earner-address <earner-address> \
  --claim-type unclaimed

This will output the token address and the amount of unclaimed rewards available

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Token Address                              | Wei Amount
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x554c393923c753d146aa34608523ad7946b61662 | 6324648267039518

Step 4: Ensure you have your keys in place​

Claiming rewards requires you to have access to your wallet keys. Supported Key Management options are listed here

info

If you already have your keys in either of the supported key management options, you can skip this step.

In case you have your keys in some browser wallet, you can import your keys to local keystore file by using the following command

./bin/eigenlayer keys import \
  --key-type <key-type> <private-key-hex>

This will ask you to set a password to protect your keystore file.

Refer your browser wallet documentation to get the private-key-hex.

Step 5: Claim the rewards​

Make sure the keys you are using to claim is the claimer you have set.

If you are using local keystore file, use the following command to claim rewards

./bin/eigenlayer rewards claim \
  --network mainnet \
  --eth-rpc-url <mainnet-eth-rpc-url> \
  --earner-address <earner-address> \
  --recipient-address <address-to-send-rewards-to> \
  --path-to-key-store /path/to/key/store-json \
  --token-addresses <comma-separated-list-of-token-addresses> \
  --broadcast

comma-separated-list-of-token-addresses - You can get this from output of Step 3

If you are using private key hex, fireblocks or web3 signer check the command help for the respective key management backend.

./bin/eigenlayer rewards claim --help

Step 6: (Optional) Check the rewards paramters​

If you want to see the rewards parameters before claiming, you can use the following command

If you are using local keystore file, use the following command to claim rewards

./bin/eigenlayer rewards claim \
  --network holesky \
  --eth-rpc-url <mainnet-eth-rpc-url> \
  --earner-address <earner-address> \
  --token-addresses <comma-separated-list-of-token-addresses>

comma-separated-list-of-token-addresses - You can get this from output of Step 3
