A blockchain validator verifies transactions, produces new blocks, and keeps the network secure. Validators play a key role in maintaining trust and are rewarded for their participation.

To become a validator, you need to stake crypto and run reliable infrastructure with high uptime. Because this requires constant monitoring and technical expertise, many choose managed blockchain infrastructure providers like OnFinality.

OnFinality makes running a validator simple with secure, globally distributed infrastructure. Our managed blockchain services provide high availability, automated updates, and monitoring - so you can focus on staking rewards while we handle the heavy lifting.
