Validators are critical for maintaining the integrity, value, and trustworthiness of data within the network.

Responsibilities:

• Verify user data within DLPs according to standards set by DLP owners.

• Use Vana’s Proof-of-Contribution system to assess data legitimacy and value.

• Participate in the Nagoya Consensus to ensure consistent and accurate data scoring.

• Perform accurate and consistent data evaluations and disincentivize bad actors through slashing.

• Evaluate the performance of other validators to maintain network integrity.

• Back evaluations with personal stake to ensure accuracy and reliability.

• Respond to queries from data consumers, including decrypting data and validating results.

Data Validators earn DLP token rewards for accurate and consistent data evaluations.
