--- title: Flare Validator description: StakeCore's Flare validator — Snowball consensus staking on the P-chain, with rewards bound to Flare Systems Protocol performance and paid on the C-chain. url: https://stakecore.org/flare/validator.md dateModified: 2026-08-18 --- # Flare Validator Secure Flare Network consensus. Human URL: ## Basic information Flare Network adapts Avalanche's Snowball proof-of-stake protocol. The protocol is the basis for the network consensus, which requires validators to stake funds, and broadcast and validate network transactions. However, Flare modifies the rewarding structure by binding it to the Flare Systems Protocol performance and distributing rewards in 14-day cycles on the C-chain (EVM chain) instead of the P-chain (platform chain). **Note:** even though Flare staking rewards are distributed on the C-chain, staking still takes place on its platform chain (P-chain). ## Staking Staking here means locking FLR on the P-chain for a fixed term, which is a different commitment from FSP delegation — see the [glossary](/glossary.md) for the distinction. StakeCore never takes custody; the transaction is signed in the holder's own wallet. ## Live statistics The page shows the validator's stake, delegator count, uptime, and reward history, plus a picker when more than one validator node is running.
