Community RPC Provider FAQ

Where can I see all the Community RPC Providers?

After the migration, validators will no longer validate any blocks, but they’ll still hold CELO, receive delegations, and vote on governance, is that correct?

Does migrating a validator node to an RPC node automatically transfers the stake? Is that enabled by the token duality mechanism?

Can operators migrate after the hardfork (i.e. register an RPC node after March 26th, 3:00AM UTC)?

Are there any penalties, of any kind, for validators who chose not to migrate/register RPC nodes? Slashing, jailing, any impact on staked funds?

In order to fulfill the role of an RPC provider, does the RPC node need to be a full node, an archive node, or a L1 legacy node?

For those who do not migrate, do they continue operating as validators alongside RPC nodes, just without any validating responsibilities?

How will rewards be distributed after the hard fork, will earnings be limited to delegators (stakers) and RPC node operators?

What will happen to the staked CELO if a validator does not migrate the validator node by March March 26th, 3:00AM UTC?

If validators who haven’t migrated are subject to slashing, would they need to deregister their validator before the hard fork?

Are there penalties for validators who choose not to migrate to RPC nodes, can they remain in their current state and continue earning rewards from their staked CELO?
