Running a Validator

Current public boundary for joining Onyx Mainnet as a validator.

Onyx is not currently onboarding new validators. The validator program is paused, and the Onyx team will let the community know when applications reopen.

Watch the official Onyx community for announcements. Do not deploy from old Testnet runbooks or copy a public validator address book into production.

Existing operators must follow their private operational runbooks. User-facing documentation does not publish validator hostnames, IP addresses, keys, firewall rules, or restart procedures.
