Hey there! Yep, there's absolutely a guide in the official Sui documentation on 'Running a Validator'. And yes, you totally earn rewards for operating one – validators (and their delegators) receive SUI tokens for securing the network. Setting one up involves meeting substantial SUI staking requirements (currently 10 million SUI, which is significant!), having robust hardware, good network stability, and maintaining high uptime. You'll typically compile the Sui source, run your node, and then register on-chain.

Hey! Yes, there absolutely is a comprehensive guide to running a Sui validator. The official Sui documentation is your best friend for that, it walks you through everything step-by-step from hardware requirements to setting up the software. And yes, you absolutely do earn rewards for operating a validator! These rewards come from transaction fees and token emissions, distributed based on your stake and performance. To get started, you'll need to meet certain hardware specs, get some SUI tokens to self-stake (or attract delegations), and then apply to be part of the active validator set, often through the Sui Foundation's programs or by being elected by existing stakers. It's a commitment, but rewarding!

Yep, there's a comprehensive guide in the official Sui documentation on how to run a validator. And yes, you absolutely earn rewards for operating one – it's called staking rewards, paid in SUI! The general process involves meeting hardware requirements, setting up the fullnode software, and then getting enough SUI staked to your node (either your own or delegated by others) to join the active validator set. It's a bit involved but totally doable if you follow the docs.

Currently, running a sui validator is permissioned, meaning you need to apply for the position. However, as of now, applications are not open, so it's essential to stay updated with official announcements regarding application openings.
