Validators

Validators secure the Amadeus network by participating in consensus and finalizing blocks through BLS-based validation. Instead of wasting energy on traditional hashing, Amadeus uses Useful Proof of Work (uPoW), where validators perform real Tensorcore matrix computations that provide the decentralized compute powering AI workloads. This keeps the chain fast, reliable, and capable of supporting real-time agent activity.

In return, validators earn $AMA through block rewards and execution fees, making them essential to both network security and the long-term sustainability of the Amadeus economy.

Refer to the section Running a Node for technical setup of validator nodes and participation.
