🧾 What Are Validators?

Validators are network participants who secure and maintain the QIE blockchain by validating and proposing new blocks. They play a critical role in:

• Confirming transactions

• Ensuring consensus and network security

• Distributing rewards to themselves and their delegators

• Participating in on-chain governance decisions

Validators run dedicated nodes and stake their coins as collateral, helping keep the network decentralized, trustworthy, and efficient.
