OPTIO operates on a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus model, where network security and stability are upheld by a group of validators. Anyone can become a validator, earning rewards in xOPTIO while actively supporting the network’s security and reliability.
Validator Nodes
The Optio Validator Node plays a crucial role in maintaining the security and efficiency of the Optio Blockchain. By participating in the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, Optio Validator Nodes are responsible for verifying transactions, producing new blocks, and ensuring the overall integrity of the network.
Operators of these nodes are required to stake 5,000 OPTS tokens, aligning their financial interests with the network’s health. In return for their contributions, validators earn rewards in Optio tokens, making node operation both a critical and rewarding endeavor.
Validator Nodes not only contribute to network security but also help drive the decentralized governance of the Optio Blockchain.
