Canto Validator
Embedded Files
The below instructions would help in technical commands to setup Canto Validator. The intended audience of these steps is anyone who is willing to contribute to the chain by becoming a validator.
Becoming a Validator is not one-time activity, it requires continuous engagement with the chain as well as community.
