  2. C. Validator Nodes

1). Roles and Responsibilities of Validators

Validator nodes play a crucial role in MTT Network, with specific responsibilities including:

  • Block Generation: Validator nodes generate new blocks by participating in the consensus algorithm (Tendermint BFT), recording on-chain transactions and ensuring data consistency.

  • Transaction Validation: Validator nodes are responsible for validating all transactions in the network, ensuring they are valid and comply with network rules.

  • Consensus Maintenance: Validators participate in the consensus protocol, reaching network consensus through a voting mechanism to decide which transactions will be included in new blocks.

  • Network Security: Validator nodes provide network security by staking MTT tokens. If a validator behaves improperly or maliciously, their staked tokens may be slashed (i.e., the "punishment" mechanism).
