# C. Validator Nodes

Validator nodes are a core component of the MTT Network ecosystem, responsible for maintaining network security, achieving consensus, and generating blocks.

To ensure network decentralization, security, and efficiency, MTT Network has designed a comprehensive validator mechanism.
