EigenLayer Rewards Skill

Query live rewards data from EigenLayer: operator rewards, staker rewards, AVS reward distributions, and find the best yield opportunities.

Data Source

EigenExplorer API — https://api.eigenexplorer.com

• Auth: x-api-token header (free key at https://developer.eigenexplorer.com)

When to use this skill

Use when the user asks about:

• EigenLayer rewards (operator or staker rewards)
• Best yield / highest APY operators
• Best yield / highest APY AVS
• Reward tokens and strategies for an operator
• How much a staker is earning
• AVS reward distributions
• Comparing restaking yields

How to query

Get top operators by APY

curl -s "https://api.eigenexplorer.com/operators?withTvl=true&sortByApy=desc&take=10" -H "x-api-token: $EIGEN_API_KEY"

Get top AVS by APY

curl -s "https://api.eigenexplorer.com/avs?withTvl=true&sortByApy=desc&take=10" -H "x-api-token: $EIGEN_API_KEY"

Get rewards for a specific operator

curl -s "https://api.eigenexplorer.com/operators/0xOPERATOR_ADDRESS/rewards" -H "x-api-token: $EIGEN_API_KEY"

Get rewards for a specific staker

curl -s "https://api.eigenexplorer.com/stakers/0xSTAKER_ADDRESS/rewards" -H "x-api-token: $EIGEN_API_KEY"

Get rewards distributed by a specific AVS

curl -s "https://api.eigenexplorer.com/avs/0xAVS_ADDRESS/rewards" -H "x-api-token: $EIGEN_API_KEY"

Get all rewards data

curl -s "https://api.eigenexplorer.com/rewards?take=20" -H "x-api-token: $EIGEN_API_KEY"

Response Format

Format results for the user with:

• Bold operator/AVS names
• APY as a percentage (e.g., “4.2% APY”)
• Reward token names and amounts
• TVL alongside APY for context (high APY + low TVL = be cautious)
• Rank operators/AVS by APY when comparing yield
• Use bullet points, never tables in chat

Programmatic Usage

const RewardsAPI = require('eigen-agent-skills/skills/eigen-rewards/scripts/rewards-api');
const api = new RewardsAPI('YOUR_API_KEY');

const topOps = await api.getTopOperatorsByAPY(10);
const topAVS = await api.getTopAVSByAPY(10);
const opRewards = await api.getOperatorRewards('0x...');
const stakerRewards = await api.getStakerRewards('0x...');
