To become a Chainbase validator, one must meet the three requirements of technology, economy, and governance. The specific process is as follows:

​​1. Technical Preparation and Node Deployment​​

Validators must run high-performance nodes, with hardware requirements including a 64-core CPU, 256GB of memory, and 1TB NVMe SSD storage, deployed on cloud servers or local environments that support the Ubuntu system. Chainbase adopts a dual-chain architecture (data chain + consensus chain), and nodes must synchronize real-time data from over 20 mainstream chains, participating in network validation through a hybrid consensus of CometBFT and DPoS.

​​2. Economic Staking and Incentives​​

​​Staking Requirements​​: A minimum of 100,000 $C tokens must be locked (can be staked individually or staked in combination with ETH/LST), and the staked tokens are used to ensure network security and obtain governance rights.

​​Revenue Distribution​​: Validators can receive 80% of the data query fee sharing and block rewards, with an expected annual yield of 8%-12%.

​​3. Governance Participation and Upgrades​​

Validators must regularly participate in on-chain voting to decide on protocol upgrades (such as mainnet iterations) and fund distribution (such as developer incentive programs). In the future, a veToken model will be introduced, granting long-term stakers a higher voting weight.@Chainbase Official #chainbase
