The Beam Foundation plans to provide approximately $750,000 in AVAX to support new validators through an incentive program.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting Your Validator Commission Rate<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A validator commission is the percentage of rewards that a validator earns from the operations processed on the blockchain. This commission is taken from the rewards that are distributed to delegators who stake their cryptocurrency on your node.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, it&#8217;s the fee a node charges for its services. Therefore anyone who sets up a Beam node can decide his commission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A higher commission means more earnings for the node per transaction, but when set too high, it might drive away potential stakers. Conversely, a lower rate might attract more delegators, but will reduce the nodes earnings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When setting your commission rate, consider:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Market average rates charged by other validators<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costs involved in running your node (hardware, electricity, etc.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your value proposition (additional services, reliability, performance)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1326f8d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1326f8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Happens If a Validator Misbehaves?

They run their own Beam Nodes, which requires meeting technical requirements listed above.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Validators are responsible for validating transactions and maintaining the network&#8217;s security, ensuring that the Beam blockchain operates smoothly. In return for their efforts, validators earn rewards directly from transaction fees paid in BEAM tokens and additional rewards from other protocols operating on the Beam Network.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><i>For example, a validator might earn 100 BEAM tokens per day from transaction fees and an additional 50 BEAM tokens per day from rewards related to the BeamSwap protocol.<\/i><\/p>\n<h3>Delegators &#8211; Stakers Beam<\/h3>\n<p>On the other hand, delegators are passive participants who support the network by staking their BEAM tokens or Node Tokens with validators.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Delegators do not need to concern themselves with the technical aspects of running a node, as they rely on the validators they stake with to handle these responsibilities. Instead, delegators focus on choosing reliable and effective validators to stake their tokens with. In return, delegators earn a share of the rewards earned by the validators they support.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><i>For instance, if a delegator stakes 1000 BEAM tokens with a validator who earns 100 BEAM tokens per day, the delegator might earn a portion of those rewards based on their stake, such as 5 BEAM tokens per day.<\/i><\/p>\n<h3>Node-as-a-Service (NaaS) &#8211; Stakers Node Tokens<\/h3>\n<p>Node-as-a-Service (NaaS) providers offer a unique solution for those who want to participate as validators but lack the technical expertise or resources to run a node independently.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As said before, you can delegate your Beam node token to one of the NaaS providers that manage the technical aspects of running a validator node on behalf of you. All while the client maintain control over their staked funds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>NaaS providers may charge fees or take a share of the rewards as compensation for their services.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><i>For example, a user might engage a NaaS provider to run a validator node on their behalf, staking 10,000 BEAM tokens.

These secondary rewards provide additional compensation. The secondary rewards consist of two main components: protocol fees and validator incentive grants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The protocol fees are generated from various operations within the Beam ecosystem, such as BeamSwap and Sphere, while the validator incentive grants are seasonal payments provided by the Beam Foundation.
