Anyone can become a validator on Canto. In exchange for securing the network, validators can charge a percentage fee of their choosing on staking rewards distributed to their delegators.
This section contains instructions on how to launch a validator node, as well as information and best practices on troubleshooting, slashing, and ensuring node uptime.
{% hint style="info" %} For community troubleshooting and assistance, see the #builders-chat channel in the Canto Discord. {% endhint %}
As an alternative to setting up and syncing a Canto node independently, dedicated validating nodes can be easily provisioned with Ansybl.
