// VALIDATOR_SET · APPLICATIONS OPEN · TESTNET Q3 2026
Run a node.
Secure the network.
Validators are the backbone of the Nsafoa network. They produce blocks, verify transactions, and maintain the integrity of the ledger.
Validators take turns as the rotating block proposer. Proposed blocks are verified by the full validator set before finalisation.
Every transaction is re-executed by each validator to verify the state root. The network does not trust the proposer alone.
Blocks require 2/3 weight quorum to be finalised. Validators carry weight proportional to their standing in the network.
Validator admission and protocol changes are governed by the existing validator set. New validators require community approval.
