Become a validator

L'Économe operates Econome Chain as a permissioned QBFT network. Validators aren't open to anyone — they're an allowlist of clients who need shared trust over their own data and are onboarded deliberately. If that's you, here's how to join the validator set.

1Run a node
Get a Besu node synced against Econome Chain — see the run a node guide. You'll need its node address and/or enode for the application below.
2Submit your application
Tell us who you are and share your node's address or enode using the form below.
3Get voted in
L'Économe reviews your application and, once approved, votes your node into the QBFT validator set alongside the other validators.
