Secure the network. Earn rewards.
Validators are the backbone of BLINK. They secure the mesh, enforce compliance, and earn BLINK for doing it right.
Stake BLINK. Earn yield.
Validator economics are designed to align security, compliance, and long-term network growth.
Validators earn transaction fees and staking rewards. Delegators can stake their BLINK with validators they trust, earning a share of rewards while helping secure the network.
Four steps to validation.
From acquiring BLINK to producing your first block.
Stake BLINK
Lock a minimum of 100,000 BLINK as your validator stake. The more you stake, the more you can earn.
Set Up Node
Run a BLINK validator node with the required hardware, uptime, and network connectivity.
Pass Compliance Check
Complete identity attestation and jurisdictional verification to become a compliant validator.
Start Validating
Join the validator set, propose blocks, and earn transaction fees plus staking rewards.
Delegate without running a node.
Not everyone wants to run infrastructure. BLINK holders can delegate their stake to professional validators and earn a share of rewards.
Choose validators based on uptime, compliance history, and commission. Your stake helps secure the network, and you retain ownership of your tokens.
