# Operators

Operators runs as the nodes of the AVSs in Allstake protocol. After registering on Allstake, they can receive delegation of staked assets, and opt-in AVSs by providing services and improving security.

Operators can join Allstake permissionlessly. They can receive delegation from any (re)stakers, including self-delegation. Operators can receive delegations of multiple tokens, which depends on the preference of the AVSs.
