Validator staking requirements
Bond: some UOMI tokens (not already defined)
Meet hardware requirements
If your node stops producing blocks for 1 session, your node will be kicked out of the active set and 1% of the bonded funds will be slashed. Running a node with low performance can lead to skipping blocks which may result in being kicked out of the active set.
A validator can deploy its node on a local or remote server. You can choose your preferred provider for dedicated servers and operating system. Generally speaking, we recommand you to select a provider/server in your region, this will increase decentralization of the network. You can choose your preferred operating system, though we highly recommend Linux.
Hardware requirements
Use the charts below to find the basic configuration, which guarantees that all blocks can process in time. If the hardware doesn't meet these requirements, there is a high chance it will malfunction and you risk be automatically kicked out and slashed from the active set.
Validator are the nodes which require the most powerful and fast machine, because they only have a very short time frame to assemble and validate it. To run a validator, it is absolutely necessary to use a CPU of minimum 4 Ghz per core, a NVMe SSD disk (SATA SSD are not suitable for validator because they are too slow) and 2 x RTX 4090 (or similar)
