Validator Requirements

Since FNCY is a public chain, anyone can download FNCY blockchain's pre-built node binary and manage it directly, but this feature will be provided through a document update in the future. If you are interested in participating in validator, please contact github-g@nm-metaworld.com and we will provide a guide after internal review.
