# Validators

#### Becoming a Validator

* Buy a Node — Choose a node tier (Sunny / Rainy / Cloud) and complete the purchase.
* Activate —  Bind the node to your Nubila account and start it via nubila.network.
* Run — Keep the node powered and online; it will automatically receive packages and participate in validation.

#### Responsibilities

* The node automatically verifies CIDs, checks metadata/signatures, joins consensus, and submits on-chain attestations.
* You ensure basic ops: stable power/network, timely software updates, and standard security hygiene.

#### Rewards & Economics

* Daily rewards proportional to node tier (honest participation required).
* Proven misbehavior or tampering may lead to slashing or suspension.
* (If applicable) Pre-TGE purchases may be eligible for the one-time node airdrop.
* Dashboard shows online status, consensus participation, attestations submitted, and package coverage to help you track performance.
