Two ways to run a Retium validator.
You can run your own Worker or Suit using the Retium validator app on your own PC or server.
Or you can choose hosted validation.
With hosted validation, you connect your wallet, stake your seat, choose Worker or Suit, and the node runs for you on hosted infrastructure.
You still keep control of your wallet and validator seat. Rewards are paid to your wallet, and you can stop the hosted node and move to your own hardware whenever you want.
Hosted nodes will also be distributed across multiple providers rather than sitting in one location.
The goal is simple. Make validator participation easier for people who want to support the network without having to manage hardware 24/7.
Running your own node will always remain an option.
More details on hosted validators will be released as the service is prepared.
