Stake Requirements
This page provides an overview of the stake requirements to become a validator on the consensus layer and to run a ParaTime compute node of the Oasis Network.
Consensus Layer
To become a validator on the consensus layer, you will need to have enough ROSE for registering your entity, registering your validator node, and be among the top entities by stake to be included in the validator set.
Current requirements are:
| Mainnet | Testnet | |
|---|---|---|
| Entity Registration | 100 ROSE | 100 TEST |
| Validator Node Registration | 100 ROSE | 100 TEST |
| Validator Set Size | 120 | 110 |
You can check the current top validators on the blockchain explorers like the Oasis Scan.
For the Testnet, you can receive a limited number of TEST tokens by using our Oasis Network Testnet Faucet. For more tokens please contact us on our official Discord in the #testnet channel.
You can use the Oasis CLI to check your account and the network parameters. Use
the oasis account show command to check your entity's account and
oasis network show native-token to see the current values used by the network.
To determine if you are eligible to receive a delegation from the Oasis Protocol Foundation, see the Delegation Policy document.
The size of the consensus committee (i.e. the validator set) is configured by the max_validators consensus parameter.
ParaTime
To run a ParaTime compute node, the minimum you need to stake currently is:
| Mainnet | Testnet | |
|---|---|---|
| Sapphire | 50,000 ROSE | 100 TEST |
| Emerald | 50,000 ROSE | 100 TEST |
| Cipher | 100 ROSE | 100 TEST |
