Tangle Network's Vision
From Hyperlane ISMs and LayerZero DVNs, to Envio Indexers, operators engage in a variety of tasks to unleash earning potentials.
Staking Rewards
Tangle Network uses Nominated Proof of Stake (NPoS) consensus model. Become a validator and receive Tangle Tokens as a reward while contributing to network security.
Restake Rewards
Register for Blueprints on Tangle Network and earn fees and service revenue from customers who request Blueprint instances. Earn by providing useful services through Tangle’s decentralized cloud infrastructure.
Earn Real Yields
Tangle Blueprints provide useful infrastructure for paying customers, earning real yield through repeated instancing. Tangle operators help grow ecosystems and can monetize their operations in novel ways.

What is a Tangle validator?
A validator on the Tangle Network is responsible for securing the network by participating in the Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) consensus mechanism.
Validators validate transactions, produce blocks, and help maintain network integrity. They earn rewards for these activities but must also adhere to strict security and uptime requirements to avoid penalties like slashing.
Validators need to bond tokens, set up infrastructure, and register as candidates. More details can be found in the Validator Introduction.

How does validator reward calculation work?
Validators earn through era points for producing blocks, authoring block rewards split among active validators, rewards from nominated stakes (NPoS), and direct transaction tips from users.
What is a Tangle operator?
Operators are node runners who stake tokens to execute jobs from Blueprint instances. They provide computing resources for services like bridges and oracles, earning rewards while securing the network through their restaked assets.
What are the steps to becoming a Tangle operator?
Start by setting up a Tangle node and staking TNT tokens. Then participate in restaking to run Blueprint instances - which can include services like oracles, bridges, and zero-knowledge applications.
What are all the ways to earn rewards as a Tangle operator?
Earn through multiple streams: direct service fees from customers, protocol-based rewards from inflation, staking and restaking rewards, block production rewards, and fees from running whitelisted Blueprints.
