A blockchain validator is someone who is responsible for validating transactions within a blockchain. On the Polygon PoS network, any participant can be qualified to become a Polygon's validator by running a validator node (sentry + validator) to earn rewards and collect transaction fees. To ensure the good participation by validators, they lock up at least 1 MATIC token as a stake in the ecosystem.

PIP4 introduced the concept of showcasing validator performance for community visibility. If a validator is in an unhealthy state for an extended period of time as outlined in PIP4, they are off-boarded from the network. The validator slot is then made available to those coming off of the waitlist.
