Technical & Operational Details
Sidechain Validator Management FAQs
Common questions from CTOs and technical founders about our managed validator service for custom sidechains and appchains.
Standard validator set deployment takes 2-3 weeks from kickoff to mainnet. This includes environment provisioning, node configuration, key generation, and integration testing with your chain. Complex multi-validator, multi-region setups may extend to 4 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan within 48 hours of engagement.
