Validator

A network participant (node) responsible for verifying transactions and helping the network reach consensus on the state of the ledger.

Validators check signatures, enforce protocol rules, and propose or attest to new blocks. In proof-of-stake they bond collateral; in Stellar they run Stellar Core and participate in SCP voting.
