Validator Tiers

PoS Network Validators operate on a tier-based system. Each tier has two slots.
For CryptoLink to launch on a chain, there must be a minimum of 3 Network Validators on that given chain. Validators operate on a first-come-first-serve basis.
PoS Network Validators stake in terms of Paper-Native* LP.
For example, a Network Validator on Fantom would stake PAPER-FTM LP.
See below for a breakdown of the associated staking amounts per tier.
Tier
Stake Amount
Genesis
$10k
Tier 1
$25k
Tier 2
$50k
Tier 3
$100k
*"Native" refers to the coin that is used to pay gas on a certain blockchain. It is a simplification of the term, "Blockchain Native Gas Coin". For example, the native gas coin on Ethereum is ETH. On Polygon, the native gas coin is MATIC.
