Become A Validator
The Anemos blockchain is empowered by the Solid State Proof-of-Stake mechanism. This ensures security and stability, with network validators playing a crucial role. There are no restrictions on the number of validators on the Anemos blockchain, allowing anyone to participate and earn ANM coin rewards while enhancing network security. Anemos does not pre-select validators, instead, they are self-elected through a randomization algorithm based on their stake and luck.
What Roles do Validators Play?
Validators can run Anemos Core software on their personal computers or remote servers to process transactions, create blocks, and uphold network security and decentralization. By staking their own coins, validators contribute to the network’s security and are rewarded for their efforts.
Validator Rewards
When a validator successfully proposes a block that is accepted by the network, they receive a block reward. This reward serves as an incentive for validators to continue supporting the network while ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Anemos ecosystem.
