Validator Node

The role of validator nodes within the BEVM (BTC Layer2) chain is pivotal for maintaining the integrity and security of the network. These nodes are responsible for verifying transactions and creating new blocks through a process of consensus, ensuring that all actions on the chain are legitimate and adhere to the protocol's rules. Validators are selected to participate based on specific criteria defined by the BEVM governance model, which often includes the staking of cryptocurrency as a form of collateral to incentivize honest participation. In executing their duties, these nodes support the decentralized infrastructure, providing a trustworthy and efficient mechanism for the validation of transactions and the seamless execution of smart contracts on the platform.
NOTE
Storage space will increase as the network grows.
Archive nodes may require a larger server, depending on the amount and frequency of data requested by a dApp.
