Now who are those validators and w and kind of the d uh and what is the stake, right?

So uh I mean the example for NIR, but it's it's similar uh for other proof of stake, it's a lot of kind of both projects in the ecosystem, right?

So we have you know a number of other companies in the ecosystem that are building on top of us, so they effectively in have a vested interest in in the security.

of this network so they become participants.

And and and you know, becoming a validator is permissionless, right?

You can actually start a validator right now.

It's also now on near um uh you can run a very kind of lightweight node um like on an old you know somebody ran a node on like eight year old uh laptop recently.

Yeah.

Uh we also have uh for example Vodafone, NTT and like other uh kind of uh entities like that running nodes.

We have uh crypto exchanges who are participating in the network as well.

So it's really about the participants in the network who become valid as well because they have vested interest, they have some of the stake as well.

So they they have both like kind of business interest and financial

interest in the in the network and so they become participants and validators.

And then also just like a bunch of community kind of we have universities, we have some individual developers uh who are running Node as well.

So that's kind of the idea.

You have like a again, open network.

People join.

We ca we had actually a a pretty large number of new validators joining in in past six months.

And uh in turn they put some of their money at stake as well as maybe some other users can delegate.

So they kinda say, Hey, I trust this uh this participant and I'm gonna add more stake to them.
