❓FAQ

1. What is ValidNet?

ValidNet is a decentralized AI validation network that leverages user-run nodes, Memory Anchors, and staking to verify AI outputs in a transparent and trustless way.

2. How can I participate in the ValidNet network?

You can participate by running a lightweight ValidNet node (desktop app or Docker), staking $VAT tokens, and contributing compute power to validate AI-generated outputs.

3. What are Memory Anchors?

Memory Anchors are reusable, on-chain templates that define validation rules. Anyone can create, trade, and monetize them for use in AI output verification tasks.

4. Who can participate in the ValidNet network?

Anyone can join by running a lightweight validator node, submitting AI outputs for validation, or creating and publishing their own Memory Anchors. The protocol is fully permissionless.

5. How does the validation process work?

Each task is assigned to multiple validators. Their results are cross-verified using a Proof-of-Validation (PoV) mechanism, with outcomes stored on-chain for full transparency.

6. What is the role of staking in ValidNet?

Validators must stake $VAT tokens to receive tasks. Accurate work earns rewards, while incorrect or malicious behavior leads to slashing of the stake.

7. Can developers build on ValidNet?

Yes. Developers can use the Anchor Builder Toolkit to create custom validation logic and integrate with ValidNet via API to validate outputs from AI applications and models.

8. What can I do with $VAT tokens?

$VAT tokens are used for staking, earning validator rewards, creating and deploying Memory Anchors, and participating in governance decisions.
