## Run a Validator Node
[Validators](https://cosmos.network/validators) are actors from the network that are responsible from commiting new blocks to the blockchain by submitting their votes. This section covers the instructions necessary to stake tokens to become a testnet validator candidate.
[Validators](https://cosmos.network/validators) are actors from the network that are responsible from committing new blocks to the blockchain by submitting their votes. In terms of security, validators' stake is slashed in all the zones they belong if they become unavailable, double sign a transaction, or don't cast their votes. We strongly recommend entities intending to run validators in the Cosmos Hub's `mainnet` to check the [technical requirements](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos/blob/master/VALIDATORS_FAQ.md#technical-requirements) and take the necessary precautions to ensure high-availability, such as setting a Sentry Node architecture. If you have any question about validators, read the [Validator FAQ](https://cosmos.network/resources/validator-faq) and join the [Validator Chat](https://riot.im/app/#/room/#cosmos_validators:matrix.org).
