Validator Network
Proof of Fractal Work (PoFW) Consensus
Validators are the backbone of the FractalAI network. By computing fractal analysis on Julia set challenges and staking FRAC tokens, validators secure the network, produce blocks, and earn rewards proportional to their stake and fractal score proximity to the golden ratio (1.618033988749895).

Requirements
Step-by-Step Guide
Install Node Software
Download and install the FractalAI node binary for your platform. Run the initialization command to generate configuration files.
Generate Validator Keys
Create a post-quantum Dilithium keypair using the node CLI. Your validator identity is derived from this keypair.
Stake FRAC Tokens
Stake a minimum of 1,000 FRAC to register as a validator. Higher stakes earn proportionally higher rewards.
Start Validating
Enable mining on your node. You will begin receiving fractal challenges and producing blocks to earn rewards.
Staking
Stake or unstake your FRAC tokens
Hardware Requirements
Recommended validator specs
AVX2 support required for fractal computation
64 GB recommended for high-throughput validation
2 TB recommended; IOPS > 50,000
Low latency connection; dedicated IP preferred

Proof of Fractal Work
How consensus works in FractalAI
Consensus Mechanism
Validators compute fractal analysis on Julia set challenges. Solutions are scored by proximity to the golden ratio across multiple fractal dimensions.
Fractal Scoring
Hausdorff dimension + correlation dimension + self-similarity ratio + Lyapunov spectrum. Combined score proximity to 1.618033988749895 determines block producer selection.
3-Second Blocks
Target block time of 3 seconds with dynamic difficulty adjustment. The network automatically calibrates challenge complexity to maintain consistent throughput.
Post-Quantum Security
CRYSTALS-Dilithium signatures and Kyber key encapsulation protect all validator communications and block proposals against quantum computing threats.
