A plain-language guide to the TBURN blockchain's validation layer — explained simply, without the jargon.
The tburn.io/validator page is the validator section of the TBURN blockchain explorer. Think of it as a live dashboard showing who is running the network and how it's performing right now.
It gives you a real-time window into the health and activity of the TBURN chain's validation layer — the engine that keeps transactions honest and secure.
A validator is like a trustworthy referee on the blockchain. Every time someone sends tokens or records data on the TBURN chain, validators check that the transaction is legitimate, then add it permanently to the ledger.
Like a bank teller verifying your deposit — but on a decentralized network with no single bank in charge.
Like a quality control inspector confirming everything is correct before it gets permanently stamped into the record.
Different blockchains use different methods to confirm transactions. Here's the key difference:
Used by Bitcoin. Require massive computing power and energy-intensive puzzle-solving to earn the right to add a block.
Used in Proof of Stake systems like TBURN. Selected based on staked tokens — far more efficient, no heavy computation needed.
Validators are the backbone of the TBURN network. Without them, nothing would work:
Validators who do their job correctly earn rewards. Those who act dishonestly or go offline can be penalized — this keeps everyone incentivized to behave.
