Official guide to onboard as a validator in the Qubetics network using the Qubetics valiator application.
Validators play an important role in ensuring the security of a blockchain network and facilitating the creation of new blocks. They also participate in the consensus process with other validators. This document is intended to guide users through the process of becoming a validator on the Quebtics network.
Before proceeding, please ensure you have successfully set up your .
A validator is a participant in a network who is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the distributed ledger by validating transactions and adding them to the blockchain. They are in charge of creating new blocks, as well as ensuring the network's finality and, ultimately, its security.
Validators are incentivized to participate in the network through the use of a cryptocurrency or tokens (TICS Tokens in our chain) and are required to "stake" a certain amount Min. 100 TICS of tokens to become a validator.
The stake acts as a guarantee of good conduct, and whenever they make a mistake, this stake is slashed. In contrast, when they follow the rules, they are generously compensated. Running a validator on a live network involves a significant amount of responsibility. They will be made responsible for not just their stake but also for the stake of their delegators. Their money and reputation will be affected if validators make a mistake and get slashed.

Stake/Bond Amount: Enter the number of TICS tokens you want to bond for validator staking.
Max Button: Clicking this button automatically fills in the maximum number of tokens available in your wallet for staking.
Bonding tokens secure your validator’s position in the network. These staked tokens act as collateral, ensuring your commitment to validation activities and the security of the blockchain. Validators with higher stakes are more likely to participate actively in block production and consensus.
FR 3.002b: Commission (%) The commission settings determine how much of the staking rewards the validator retains as compensation for their services.
Max Rate Specify the maximum commission rate that the validator can charge delegators (e.g., between 0.05 and 1).
Initial Rate Set the starting commission rate (e.g., ≥ 0.05 or ≤ Max Rate). Defines the validator's initial reward share.
Max Change Rate Enter the maximum percentage by which the commission rate can increase (e.g., ≥ 0.05 or ≤ Max Rate).
FR 3.002C: Bond and Validate Button Once all the fields are filled, click the Bond and Validate button to finalize your validator setup. This action bonds the specified tokens, sets the commission parameters, and registers the validator with the blockchain.
Upon successful submission, the validator becomes part of the network and starts participating in validation activities, provided the network's minimum staking criteria are met.
