Unlike Subnet validators, L1 validators do not stake AVAX but instead pay a dynamic monthly fee, initially set at approximately 1.3 AVAX. They are exempt from validating the Primary Network, reducing their resource requirements and making L1 validation more accessible. This approach fosters economic inclusivity and sovereignty, allowing developers to define custom validation logic via smart contracts and operate independent networks without staking the Primary Network. @@ -54,4 +54,4 @@ L1 validators do not need to: Unless removed by the Owner Key, any Subnet validator added to the network before `ConvertSubnetToL1Tx` will continue to validate the network until its "end time" is reached.
