Important notes on validating:
A node must already be set up to become a validator. For more information on how to do so, please refer to our developer documentation.
The minimum amount of AVAX to validate is 2,000 AVAX on the Avalanche mainnet.
The validation duration can be set between 14 and 365 days on the Avalanche mainnet. This duration is NOT changeable after being initiated.
The delegation fee can be set between 2% and 100%.
More information on the technical background of validating the Avalanche network can be found in our developer documentation.
