-## Notes on validators
-
-<br>
-
-* 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
-* 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
