Become a Validator

Validators play a crucial role in securing the ChainOS network. To become a validator:

  1. Set up a full node following our Node Setup Guide
  2. Acquire at least 10,000 UOS tokens
  3. Create your validator using the ChainOS CLI

Validator Requirements

Running a validator requires enterprise-grade hardware and a commitment to maintaining high uptime. See our Validator Guide for detailed requirements.
