# TriggerX Testnet is Now Live!

TriggerX is officially live on Holesky.

The testnet phase has begun, and it's time to put automation to the test.

This is a major step toward our mainnet launch in May 2025. The Keeper network is now operational, and you can start building with it today.

**Start here**: [app.triggerx.network](https://app.triggerx.network/)

Connect your wallet. Create your first job. Test automation onchain.

**What Is TriggerX?**
---------------------

[TriggerX](https://www.triggerx.network/blog/triggerx-cross-chain-automation) is the first Keeper network deployed on the Superchain.

It’s built for scalable, decentralized automation — secured by Eigenlayer’s restaking infrastructure.

TriggerX enables onchain tasks to run automatically, without manual intervention.

**No delays. No missed triggers. Just reliable execution, every time.**

**How the Keeper Network Works**
--------------------------------

A [Keeper network](https://triggerx.gitbook.io/triggerx-docs/join-as-keeper) monitors smart contracts and performs actions based on predefined conditions. It replaces manual triggering with trustless execution.

TriggerX uses two types of Keepers:

### **Performer Keepers**

These are the [operators executing tasks](https://triggerx.gitbook.io/triggerx-docs/keepers-overview/keeper-as-performer):

*   Listen for job triggers
    
*   Fetch dynamic arguments
    
*   Execute transactions
    
*   Submit execution proofs
    

### **Attester Keepers**

These act as [decentralized validators](https://triggerx.gitbook.io/triggerx-docs/keepers-overview/keeper-as-attester):

*   Observe task executions
    
*   Verify submitted proofs
    
*   Sign off on valid actions
    

Together, they power a network that’s efficient, secure, and transparent.

**How to Join as a Keeper**
---------------------------

Ready to run a Keeper on TriggerX?

Here’s what you’ll need:

### **1\. Whitelist Access**

Submit the [Keeper Registration Form](https://chatgpt.com/c/67dd01ad-1604-800f-848f-fda070165a9d#) to begin.

### **2\. Holesky ETH**

Some testnet ETH is required to complete the setup.

### **3\. Othentic CLI**

You’ll need the Othentic CLI and the correct Node version:

*   Node version: **v22.6.0 only**
    
*   Install CLI:
    

npm i -g @othentic/othentic-cli

*   Confirm installation:
    

othentic-cli -v

### **4\. Ethereum RPC**

Use a valid RPC URL (e.g., from Alchemy or your own node).

### **5\. Hardware Requirements**

Hardware Requirements for TriggerX Keeper Network

Once ready, complete registration on both [**EigenLayer**](https://triggerx.gitbook.io/triggerx-docs/join-as-keeper#register-on-eigen-layer) and [**TriggerX**](https://triggerx.gitbook.io/triggerx-docs/join-as-keeper#register-as-keeper), then [launch your Keeper service.](https://triggerx.gitbook.io/triggerx-docs/join-as-keeper#quickstart)

**How Rewards Work**
--------------------

We use a points-based system to [reward Keepers](https://triggerx.gitbook.io/triggerx-docs/keeper-rewards) based on their computation costs. Here’s an example breakdown:

**Task Parameters:**

*   Execution Time: 5 seconds
    
*   Memory Usage: 256 MB
    
*   Static Complexity: 2048 KB
    
*   Validator Nodes: 3
    

**TriggerGas (TG) Calculation:**

*   Execution Time = 5 × 2 = 10 TG
    
*   Memory Usage = (256 / 128) × 1 = 2 TG
    
*   Static Complexity = (2048 / 1024) × 1 = 2 TG
    
*   Simulation = 1 TG
    
*   Fixed Cost = 1 TG **Total = 14 TG → 14 Points**
    

Points will determine token distribution during and after testnet.

**This system will be adjusted as we collect data, with the goal of aligning rewards with actual resource usage and network contribution.**

**Why Testnet Participation Matters**
-------------------------------------

This testnet phase is about more than testing — We’re inviting developers, node operators, and curious explorers to:

*   Run Keeper nodes
    
*   Launch and test automation jobs
    
*   Share feedback
    
*   Stress test infrastructure
    
*   Help shape the mainnet version of TriggerX
    

Every interaction helps us fine-tune performance, security, and usability.

**Let’s Build It Together**
---------------------------

Mainnet is coming in May 2025.

This is your opportunity to help us build a system that meets the needs of real developers, applications, and protocols.

Read the [documentation](https://triggerx.gitbook.io/triggerx-docs).

TriggerX is built for the Superchain — and built with the community.

_Let’s get to work._
