Validator

In the LayerEdge framework, a Validator has the following key roles:

1. State Proof Verification: Validators independently verify the integrity and correctness of the state proofs submitted by Sequencers. This ensures that the data and transactions reflected in the state proofs are accurate and consistent.

2. Consensus Mechanism Participation: Validators participate in a consensus mechanism designed to achieve agreement on the validity of state proofs. This mechanism typically involves cryptographic validation and agreement among a distributed set of validators.

3. Network Security: By validating state proofs, Validators contribute to the overall security and reliability of the LayerEdge framework. They help prevent malicious or erroneous data from being accepted as valid, thereby maintaining the integrity of the blockchain network.

Overall, Validators are crucial for ensuring the accuracy and security of state proofs, helping to maintain data integrity and network trust.
