CLNK validator and rewards

PreviousStakingNextCredits

Last updated 2 years ago

Anyone can become a CLINK validator which runs on the Polygon PoS mainnet and claim a share of the network rewards, supporting the creation of Native Carbon Credits on-chain.

You can set up your own node on AWS or use a Pi4. Your rewards are dependent on the amount of CLINK staked and the transactions in the network.

Deploying a validator allows you to set your own fees on others who delegate to your node. We also provide annual rewards as incentives!

Because our nodes run on the Polygon Proof-of-Stake system, this means the hardware to run isn't very energy-intensive, Polygon has also committed as the first L2 chain to carbon offset its entire network to positive with Klima DAO making it the most environmentally-friendly chain to use.

You can out more on what is required and how to run a , this isn't live yet and we will be requesting applications to become validators in due course, please watch for announcements on our Discord.
