Validators are participants in the AderaOne network who are responsible for processing transactions and securing the blockchain. They run full nodes that validate transactions, produce blocks, and participate in the consensus mechanism.

As a validator, you'll earn rewards for your contribution to the network's security and operation. The amount of rewards you earn depends on various factors, including your stake, uptime, and participation in governance.

Validators play a crucial role in maintaining the decentralization and security of the AderaOne network. By becoming a validator, you're helping to ensure the network remains robust, secure, and efficient.
