SecurityWhat Is Validator?
A Validator participates in the consensus protocol and is responsible for storing data, processing transactions, and adding new blocks to the ledger. Whenever the Node is running the Validator earns rewards.
Each Validator consists of two components: a Coordinator and a Verifier. The Сoordinator handles blocks of the network ledger and earns rewards by minting new $WATER coins. The Verifier creates blocks and earns rewards from transaction fees.

Step 2: Setup your MetaMask
For your convenience, we recommend creating 3 addresses:
1. Reward (To receive rewards at this address)
2. Stake/ Unstake (to receive back unstacked Water coins)
3. Exit/Withdrawal: Management address ( that is going to be used to unstake (you are going to use a private key and we recommend keeping it a few $WATER as gas )
