# Validator Operations
|
|
Guide for running a validator node in the AITBC network.
|
|
|
|
## Becoming a Validator
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
| Requirement | Value |
|
|
|-------------|-------|
|
|
| Stake | 1000 AITBC |
|
|
| Node uptime | 99%+ |
|
|
| Technical capability | Must run node 24/7 |
|
|
| Geographic distribution | One per region preferred |
|
|
|
|
### Registration
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
aitbc-chain validator register --stake 1000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Activate Validator Status
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
aitbc-chain validator activate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Validator Duties
|
|
|
|
### Block Production
|
|
|
|
Validators take turns producing blocks:
|
|
- Round-robin selection
|
|
- Fixed 2-second block time
|
|
- Missed blocks result in reduced rewards
|
|
|
|
### Transaction Validation
|
|
|
|
- Verify transaction signatures
|
|
- Check sender balance
|
|
- Validate smart contract execution
|
|
|
|
### Network Participation
|
|
|
|
- Maintain P2P connections
|
|
- Propagate blocks to peers
|
|
- Participate in consensus votes
|
|
|
|
## Validator Rewards
|
|
|
|
### Block Rewards
|
|
|
|
| Block Position | Reward |
|
|
|----------------|--------|
|
|
| Proposer | 1 AITBC |
|
|
| Validator (any) | 0.1 AITBC |
|
|
|
|
### Performance Bonuses
|
|
|
|
- 100% uptime: 1.5x multiplier
|
|
- 99-100% uptime: 1.2x multiplier
|
|
- <99% uptime: 1.0x multiplier
|
|
|
|
## Validator Monitoring
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check validator status
|
|
aitbc-chain validator status
|
|
|
|
# View performance metrics
|
|
aitbc-chain validator metrics
|
|
|
|
# Check missed blocks
|
|
aitbc-chain validator missed-blocks
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Validator Slashing
|
|
|
|
### Slashing Conditions
|
|
|
|
| Violation | Penalty |
|
|
|-----------|---------|
|
|
| Double signing | 5% stake |
|
|
| Extended downtime | 1% stake |
|
|
| Invalid block | 2% stake |
|
|
|
|
### Recovery
|
|
|
|
- Partial slashing can be recovered
|
|
- Full slashing requires re-registration
