How it works
A validator performs two primary functions:
Voting on blocks
Validators help secure the network through voting on blocks that could potentially be added to the block-chain. Once consensus has been achieved (67% of the stake has voted for a particular block or fork) then that block is added to the chain.
Producing blocks
The validator is allocated leader slots every epoch according to its stake weight and so has the opportunity to produce a block for the rest of the validators to vote on. A validator receives a share of the transaction fees for every block that it adds to the chain.
