Preliminaries

In the Hedge blockchain using the CometBFT consensus mechanism, delegators play a pivotal role. Their primary responsibility is to filter the pool of candidates, selecting validators who are known for their honesty, trustworthiness, and effective performance.

Becoming a delegator in the Hedge network is a straightforward process with minimal requirements compared to validators. Delegators only need to stake a modest amount of tokens and choose a validator candidate. When the supported validator successfully authors a block and receives a reward, delegators alongside others supporting the same validator, also share in the rewards.
