/Validators

Cookie Chain is transitioning from a single-validator launch into a distributed multi-validator chain. Consensus is produced by an expanding set of independent operators.

# Who can run a validator

Anyone who meets the hardware and stake requirements can apply to join the validator set. The operator set is intentionally open, with progressive decentralization driven by the community rather than a foundation.

# Minimum requirements guideline

• 8+ CPU cores, modern x86_64.
• 64 GB+ RAM.
• NVMe SSD storage, with 1 TB+ recommended.
• 300 Mbps+ symmetric network.
• Static IP and basic uptime monitoring.

# Live validator set

See the live validator set on the /validators page.
