How Everstake deduces validator fee?

“Validator fee” refers to the rewards received by Validator for participating in the Blockchain network Validation process. Everstake determines the validator fee through a process involving analysis and consideration of various factors, such as network requirements, operational costs, and market dynamics.

Control over User's Funds

Validators don't have control over users' funds in blockchain networks. Instead, they validate transactions and participate in the consensus process based on the rules defined by the network protocol. Users retain control over their funds through private keys, which are used to sign transactions and authorize transfers. Validators' roles involve confirming the validity of transactions and blocks, but they don't have the authority to access or manipulate users' funds.

What is the role of SGN?

The Celer State Guardian Network (SGN) has been an essential part of Celer Network's architecture.

In cBridge, the SGN serves multiple roles:

  • Liquidity Pool Manager: The SGN manages shared liquidity pools, providing PoS-level security and decentralized governance for cBridge.

  • Node Gateway: The SGN oversees cBridge node selection and scheduling, ensuring efficient operations.

  • SLA Arbitrator: The SGN guarantees the Quality of Service for cBridge nodes, acting as a Service Level Agreement (SLA) arbitrator.
