What is a Fractal Validator?

Like most EVM type validators, Fractal validators are responsible for processing the blocks. The validator who proposes the block on Fractal gets the reward. Here's some differences for those familiar with Harmony ONE:

  • 21 day unstaking
  • 0% minimum fee, fees set by individual validators
  • Small slashing fee for each missed block, shared by the entire validator pool
  • 5% slashing fee on your entire delegation pool for Double Signing
  • Top 100 Validators by Total Stake are elected each block and eligible to claim the reward
  • One Validator per block proposes it and gets the reward
  • No minimum staking amounts

How to be a Fractal Validator?

Start by having at least 10k Fractal in a wallet you control. After reading up on how to run a validator you can rent a VPS (Virutal Private Server) or depending on skill level find an Ubuntu server to run Fractal. Once you've setup the software you're in the post installation phase where you'll monitor your server (use vStatsFindoraBot (opens in a new tab) on telegram) and start working to obtain a higher total delegation to earn more rewards.

Install The Easy Node Way

When using our guides or tips you can always assume the following things that aren't really specified in the Harmony Documents. We call this "The Easy Node Way" which helps with organization and security:

  • Setup a user account to run docker & fractal
    • Don't use root or fractal as account names!!!
    • We suggest your username as something like servicefindora
