Validators

Become a QoreChain Validator

QoreChain validators secure the network, operate cross-chain bridges, and earn multi-stream revenue from block production, bridge attestations, and cross-chain operations across 38 connected blockchains.

Revenue

Multi-Stream Validator Revenue

Unlike single-chain validators that earn only block rewards,QoreChain validators participate in cross-network operations that generate additional revenue streams. At network maturity, approximately 60% of projected validator revenue comes from cross-chain bridge attestation fees and cross-network operations.

1. Block production rewards (from the 37% validator share of fees)
2. Bridge watcher attestation fees (earned for validating cross-chain transactions across 38 chains)
3. Cross-chain operation fees (earned from routing and settling inter-chain transactions)
Selection

Validator Selection

QoreChain uses reputation-based validator selection alongside stake weighting. Validators build reputation through uptime, honest attestation history, and network contribution, not just capital. This reduces centralization pressure and rewards operational excellence.
