Operating a Validator

Running a Validator on a live network is a lot of responsibility! You will be accountable for not only your stake but also the stake of other participants in the network. If you make a mistake and get slashed, your funds and reputation will be at risk. However, running a Validator can also be very rewarding, knowing that you contribute to the security of a decentralized network while growing your stash.

Before attempting to operate your Validator, it's highly recommended that you have experience in system administration. You should be able to handle technical problems and unusual situations with your DENTNet node on your own. Being a Validator involves more than just running a program.

To operate a Validator at DENTNet, you need to have these requirements:

• Approval from DENT for running a Validator

• A running DENTNet node (see Operating a Node)

• Minimum amount of DENTX

Who can run a Validator?

Companies and individuals that are approved by DENT can run validators. Please use this form to apply to run one or more validators.
