# Validators

Validators & staking on TFGrid 3.14.

- 9 [guardians](tfgrid3:guardians.md) are needed
- They will run a full TF Validator Stack (technically)
- Anyone can stake TFT on that stack

Reward:

- 10% of revenue over TFGrid in TFT or INCA
- This percentage can change over time and will be voted by GEP
- A validator recieves a monthly income to support his/her work as well in e.g. INCA or TFT

- TFHub (lets people go from docker to tfgrid ZOS flists)
- TFBootstrap (how to install new node)
- Explorer (has all stats)
- Validator Code (keeps the grid clean & healthy)
