CUDOS Validators play a special role in the Network’s day to day workings. They validate blocks, perform complex security checks on proposed transactions, interact with other stakeholders in various Governance votes that ensure the network’s security, integrity and viability on an ongoing basis.

Therefore, #CUDOS rewards the most performant validators with predictable income streams and rapidly removes bad actors from its #Proof of Stake network in order to assure a greater level of security for all participants. The combination of these factors, incentivise any individual today, from financial investors to data-center or compute infrastructure providers, to interact reliably on the CUDOS network to either buy or sell compute capacity at scale.

For keeping CUDOS Network secure, Validators stand to earn various rewards including:

✅ Staking Rewards to incentivize their crypto economic contributions to the network over time, with a favor for longer-term contributions as opposed to shorter term ones.

✅ Delegated Staking Rewards to incentivize their providing #crypto economic contributions to the network over time on behalf of other entities or users with their infrastructure, again with a favor for longer-term contributions as opposed to shorter term ones.

✅ Gas fees plus additional transaction costs which they set as they see fit for the most part, in order to market their superior attributes as validators when compared to other ones available to the network’s users.

✅ They also earn Proof of Compute rewards.
