Validator
A validator is an entity that checks and approves transactions submitted by users and/or blockchain clients in the context of blockchain technology.
Each blockchain protocol has its own set of rules for what makes a validator and how these validators work. To execute on-chain transactions in a permissionless and distributed way, most decentralized blockchain networks use some type of validator node.
