Validator Claim

Our Validator Claim Program is the way Validators can apply to become more recognizable for current and potential delegators, as well as users and developers, on the Avalanche network.

At launch, we support Alias and Icon visualization in the Validators list, as well as rich information in the Validator Details.

The information involved in the Verification are the following:

• Alias: the alias of the individual validator. If a single entity (company, individual) has more than one Validator, this is a great way of differentiating the set. For example, Avascan has two different Validators, so it uses different aliases for them, that coincide with the names used in our delegation campaigns on Twitter and Telegram: 'Lazy' Snorlax and Ditto;

• Icon: An image that can represent the Alias, the Manager, or both. It's displayed in a square format. For example, for Avascan's Validators, the logo is Avascan's logo. We recommend an SVG or PNG format..

• Manager: the entity that manages the Validator. In our case, it's Avascan.

What we don't accept in a claim

• Offensive or inappropriate alias/manager/icon

• Public people Names (including alias/manager/icon)

• Fake information (ex: Managed by Avascan/Avalabs if is not the case)

How to claim?

• Go on https://avascan.info/ and paste your validator's NodeID in the search bar

• In "Beneficiary," you can see the address associated with your Node. This is the address you must use to sign the message

• Go to https://core.app and access your wallet

Make sure it's the wallet associated with the validator address

• Go to Tools > Signing tools > Sign Message

• Select the address that matches the beneficiary address of your node

• Write your message using the following format:

NodeID-XXXXXXXXXXX "Alias" "Manager" < your website link > < your logo link >

• Click "Sign message" and approve

• Copy the generated signature

• Paste the memo and signature in the #avalanche-validator channel in our Discord server and wait for our assistance

Removing/updating the Claim

If you want to remove or update a claim associated with one of your validators, you can do so by signing a new message including the NodeID and just one other field of your choice.

Claims are processed daily, and all information will be updated within 24 hours on working days.
