1.1 Role of Validators in Spicenet

Validators play a critical role in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the Spicenet blockchain. As a Spicenet validator, your primary responsibilities are:

  1. Receiving and Verifying Batches of Transactions: You'll be responsible for accepting incoming transaction batches and verifying their validity according to the network's rules.

  2. Maintaining Network State: Validators are tasked with keeping an up-to-date record of the network's state, ensuring consistency across the blockchain.

  3. Detecting Fraud: One of your key roles is to be vigilant in identifying any fraudulent activities or invalid transactions within the network.

  4. Producing Fraud Proofs: When fraud is detected, validators are responsible for generating and submitting fraud proofs to the network, helping to maintain its integrity.

These specific responsibilities make Spicenet validators crucial for:

  • Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of transactions

  • Maintaining the overall security of the network

  • Upholding the trustless nature of the blockchain
