- -* 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
