Check the work.
A validator re-scores submitted results on its own GPU and signs a verdict with its own key. A result is confirmed only when the validator’s score agrees with the miner’s within a stated tolerance.
What validators do
Every result is re-scored by a second machine before anyone is paid. A validator’s record is public too: its re-score error by miner and by GPU model.
Guarding the money
A payout batch is verified and signed by two independent checkers, on separate machines with separate keys, before the Solana program will mint any LIFE. The program also enforces a cap per batch and per day, whatever anyone signs. At the start these checkers are run by the project; letting outside validators join the signer set is planned.
How validators are paid
At launch a validator is paid the same LIFE as the miner for each confirmed result it verified, for up to 2 validators per result, and never for a result of its own wallet. When DOGMA launches, part of every new DOGMA is also shared among active validators: a validator is active when it verified at least 3 results and at least a quarter of the day’s confirmed results.
Joining
Joining as a validator is planned to open with mainnet. To take part in the devnet trial, message the team privately on Discord.
