What is a validator? PlatON is a blockchain project that implements democratic governance. Validators are jointly selected by all LAT holders to maintain and develop the PlatON network. The 201 nodes with the most votes will become alternative nodes, from which 43 validators will be randomly selected by VRF to participate in the management of the entire PlatON network. The responsibilities of a validator are: Maintaining PlatON nodes and network Production and validating the blocks Proposal voting and decision-making Basic requirements to become a validator Minimum staking requirements Minimum staking…

PlatON is compatible with EVM and WASM virtual machines, so it can support contract development in more high-level languages, lowering the learning threshold for contracts while improving performance in processing contract transactions.This significantly lowers the learning curve for writing contracts, while improving performance for processing contract transactions. The documentation in this section helps developers quickly write, deploy, and debug contracts on the PlatON network, and develop various Dapp applications based on contracts. What is Dapp? Dapp (Decentralized Application) is a decentralized application built on the blockchain. How to develop a…
