The Step-by-Step Guide to the Aventus Validator Staking Program

July 06, 2021

For those interested in earning their share of transaction fees over the Aventus Network, here is a step-by-step guide to staking with the Aventus Validator Program.

The Aventus Network requires validator nodes to validate and process transactions to ensure transparency, security, and fairness across the network through a distributed consensus whereby stakers or ‘validators’ are incentivised to validate correct transactions only.

At launch, Aventus Network runs 10 nodes, each requiring 250,000 AVT. AVT holders can become validators by staking their AVT and associating them with a validator node. In return, they earn their share of transaction fees from that node.

Aventus is on a journey to 1 billion transactions, which means the potential for fees from 1 billion transactions are shared between stakers.

Here’s the guide.

To stake, you must have AVT tokens in your Ethereum wallet. If you don’t have AVT, it can be easily purchased on Uniswap, HitBTC, or Mercatox.
