Validators

Testnet Validator Network

The Graphchain testnet is currently operational and available for validators. Validators participate in securing the DAG-network, achiving consensus, and maintaining integrity. We maintain a list of active validators. Tokens are generated periodically for the validation effort.

You can view the validator list here: Validator List (Testnet)

Becoming a Validator & Validator Key Requests

To become a validator on the testnet (and later mainnet), you must request a validator key. This can be done by filling out the Tally Validator Key Request Form:

Request Validator Key

Please ensure you provide accurate and complete information when submitting the form. Approval is usually fast, but can take more time during busy periods.

Validator Selection

Validators on the Graphchain testnet are selected at random from the complete set of registered validators, with a limit on newer unverified validators. This random selection process ensures fairness while maintaining network efficiency by only selecting a leader group at each round.

At a high level: - The validator set is determined periodically.
- Random selection reduces biases and encourages broad participation. - A weighting encourages honest and longer validation times.
