# Validator Guide

## Basic Concepts

**Wallet** : A digital wallet in which a user stores and manages their cryptocurrencies.

**Validator** : Validators on the Rapid Chain network verify new transactions and add them to the blockchain, ensuring the security of the network.

**Delegate** : Delegation involves a user entrusting their crypto assets to a validator, allowing the validator to earn rewards from their transactions.

**Undelegate**: A transaction type used to end delegation, enabling users to withdraw their crypto assets from a validator.

**Bond** : The process in which individuals who wish to become validators commit a certain amount of collateral before participating in the network.

**Unbond** : A transaction type used by those who want to withdraw their collateral from a validator.

**Gas**: Represents the transaction fees required for processing transactions. It can vary based on transaction volume and complexity on the blockchain network.

**Jail**: Temporary suspension imposed by the Rapid Chain network on a validator exhibiting faulty behavior.

**Unjail** : A transaction type used to reinstate a previously suspended validator back to normal operation.

**Governance** : Enables the Rapid Chain community to make decisions about the network's future and implement changes.

**Vote** : A voting process used as part of the governance mechanism for users to express support or opposition to specific proposals or changes.
