Validators
Participants in a Proof-of-Stake network who verify transactions and earn rewards for doing so correctly.
✅ Checkers who confirm transactions are real before sealing them
🌱 In Blockchain Botany
Like greenhouse inspectors who verify every plant is growing properly before logging it.
🌍 In the real world
Ethereum has over 400,000 validators worldwide. To become one, you stake 32 ETH as collateral — if you cheat, your stake is slashed (destroyed) as punishment.
The best way to understand Validators is to experience it. Blockchain Botany teaches this concept through hands-on gameplay — no real cryptocurrency involved.
