According to the, anyone can become a validator during the testnet run by filling out the intake form on the website. Once the mainnet is up and running, validators will be chosen by hand by a trusted team to assure the network's security. Validators have a total of 100 slots.

Validators will receive rewards proportional to their stake in exchange for their duties and contributions. The rewards will be distributed among all players based on the number of tokens staked.

The user's reward balance will be recorded in a contract, which is used to determine the rewards that can be claimed. Rewards will be distributed to all stakers proportional to their stake at every checkpoint, except for the proposer getting an additional bonus.
