About Validators

Chiliz Chain relies on the Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA) consensus mechanism, designed to ensure fast block times and cost-efficient transactions.

Advanced security features, including double-sign detection and slashing mechanisms, maintain the integrity, stability, and finality of the chain.

This consensus mechanism is primarily managed by two key roles:

  • the Validators, who are a critical part of the chain. They create and validate blocks in turns.

  • the Delegators, who allocate their CHZ to the validators' pools in order to participate in the governance of the chain and earn reward.

In Chiliz Chain, there can be a maximum of 12 block-creating validators. There can also be an unlimited amount of active validators which are not creating blocks, but are in the queue in case a block-creating validator goes offline or gets "jailed".
