What is a Validator?
A validator is a participant in a blockchain network who is responsible for verifying transactions and creating new blocks. Validators must meet certain technical requirements to ensure that they can handle the demands of the network. In return for their work, validators receive rewards in the form of the network’s native cryptocurrency.
