Your application will be reviewed. Approved applicants will have a scheduled call with the development team to answer node setup questions and complete the transfer of native GLCH tokens.
Deploy your node from the pre-built binary and begin validating blocks on the mainnet.
Ensure you monitor your node frequently to prevent misbehaviour. Get rewarded in GLCH.

View DocumentationThe Mainnet Validator Program rewards early participants running a node in native GLCH tokens based on the number of validated blocks.

CPU – Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz
Storage – A NVMe solid state drive. Should be reasonably sized to deal with blockchain growth. Starting around 80GB – 160GB will be okay for the first six months of Glitch but will need to be re-evaluated every six months.
Memory – 32GB to 64GB RAM
The specs posted above are by no means the minimum specs that you could use when running a validator. However, you should be aware that if you are using less you may need to toggle some extra optimizations to be equal to other validators running the standard.The specs posted above are by no means the minimum specs that you could use when running a validator.

Yes, you Can continue to add to your stake to increase your holding in your stash account
The staking system pays out rewards to all validators regardless of stake. Having more stake in a validator does not influence the number of block rewards it receives. There are 2 types of rewards: Block reward (reward from transaction fee) and reward from share revenue. All rewards are paid out in the native GLCH coin.
The validation rewards will be stored in your stash account at the end of each Era.
Yes, you can either pause (chill) or stop your validator all together if you choose to do so. By chilling you validator you will not receive rewards. By stopping your validator you must unbond your tokens. There is an unbonding period of 24 eras before bonded funds can be transferred after issuing an unbond transaction.
