1. Controlling smart contract of a validator
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to run a Validator, you'll need a Full Node that is already up and running (and completely synchronized with the current blockchain state), and a wallet in the masterchain holding a large amount of Grams (or test Grams, if you want to run a validator in the "testnet" TON Blockchain instance). Typically you'll need at least 100,000 Grams.
In order to run a Validator, you'll need a Full Node that is already up and running (and completely synchronized with the current blockchain state), and a wallet in the masterchain holding a large amount of Grams (or test Grams, if you want to run a validator in the "testnet" TON Blockchain instance). Typically you'll need at least 100,001 Grams in the production network, and at least 10,001 test Grams in the test network. The actual value (in nanograms) can be found as the value of `min_stake` in configuration parameter #17 (available by typing `getconfig 17` into the Lite Client), plus one Gram.
Each validator is identified by its (Ed25519) public key. During the validator elections, the validator (or rather its public key) is also associated with a smart contract residing in the masterchain. For simplicity, we say that the validator is "controlled" by this smart contract (e.g., a wallet smart contract). Stakes are accepted on behalf of this validator only if they arrive from its associated smart contract, and only that associated smart contract is entitled to collect the validator's stake after it is unfrozen, along with the validator's share of bonuses (e.g., block mining fees, transaction and message forwarding fees collected from the users of the TON Blockchain by the validator pool). Typically the bonuses are distributed proportionally to the (effective) stakes of the validators. On the other hand, validators with higher stakes are assigned a larger amount of work to perform (i.e., they have to create and validate blocks for more shardchains), so it is important not to stake an amount that will yield more validation work than your node is capable of handling.
