- the validator is responsible for creating a new block and sending it out to other nodes on the network.
- to participate as a validators, a user must deposit 32 ETH into the deposit contract and run 3 pieces of software: - an execution client - a consensus client - a validator
- once activated, validators receive new blocsk from peers - the txs delivered in the block are re-executed, and the block signature is checked
- the validator then sends a vote (attestation) in favor of that block across the network
- to participate as a validators, a user must deposit 32 ETH into the deposit contract and run 3 pieces of software:
- an execution client
- a consensus client
- the engine api
- once activated, validators receive new blocsk from peers (the txs delivered in the block are re-executed, and the block signature is checked).
- the validator then sends a vote (attestation) in favor of that block across the network.
- the timing of blocks is not determined by the mining difficult anymore, but it's fixed:
- slots (12 seconds)
- epochs (32 slots)
- in every slot, a committee of validators is randomly chosen, whose votes are used to determine the validity of the block being proposed
- the first block in each epoch is a checkpoint

The sequence of states that a validator can exist in:
1. deposited: At least 32 ETH has been deposited to the deposit contract by the validator
2. pending: the validator is in the activation queue waiting to be voted into the network by existing validators
3. active: currently attesting and proposing blocks
4. slashing: the validator has misbehaved and is being slashed
