Question:

"What is the amount I should use to register a validator?"

Answer:

It's advisable to start with an initial delegation of 1 coin for registration, and for added security, you can delegate the rest from a different wallet.

Please note that the amount required to register a validator is denominated in units specific to each coin. You can find examples and detailed information in the guide for each coin. Additionally, the Cosmos ecosystem registry at https://github.com/cosmos/chain-registry can be a valuable resource for reference.

Question:
"How to qualify for the active set of validators?"

Answer: Qualifying for the active set of validators is a crucial step in your role as a validator. Here are some key points to consider:

Check the Active Set of Validators: Begin by checking the current active set of validators. Keep in mind that there may be a limit on the number of validators allowed in this set. If the active set is already at capacity, you should ensure that your overall delegation exceeds the lowest validator's delegation by at least 1 coin to qualify for inclusion in the active set.

Remember the Changing Active Set: The size of the active set may change over time as validators are added or removed. It's essential to stay informed about these fluctuations and adapt your delegation strategy accordingly.

For more detailed information and guidance on registering as a validator, you can refer to our support article at link.

Understanding the dynamics of the active set and staying proactive in your approach is key to a successful validator experience.
