The Starknet validator guide overview

Introduction

Starknet is transitioning to allocate more responsibilities to the validators in the next phase of the staking roadmap, where validators have to attest blocks during a specific window. Sepolia testnet network has already been upgraded to the specs outlined at SNIP-28, allowing validators to test their set-up in anticipation of the mainnet upgrade.

This comprehensive guide will teach you step by step on how to run your own full node and validator on Sepolia testnet.
