Today, with restaking options and other innovations, the community has access to better ways to earn yield on their AVAX. {% endhint %} We have chosen the Avalanche chain for multiple reasons. One of them is the Proof of Stake mechanism thanks to Validatorz running the network. In the heart of SkullzCity runs a **Validator Node** powering the Avalanche Mainnet. Fees generating from Transactions will directly benefit to Skullzcity's treasury SkullzCity will also benefit from Performance and Transaction fees from Node's Delegators [Learn more about Staking mechanism and Avalanche Nodes](https://docs.avax.network/nodes/validate/staking) ## Introduction to the Validator Nodez ![Launched on July 29th 2022](/files/j4ycJh2ZWK98uLJJ1vvj) Our Nodez is up and Running: ![Avascan capture August 3rd 2022](/files/ZOoO8mcc6AaLAJfGdwsU) We are really excited about this news since this was a huge milestone that we had on our roadmap and we understand the impact that this will have on SkullzCity.❤️ More than 2k $AVAX are staked to run Skullz City's Nodez and to bring many rewards for the Skullz Community! ➡️ By using Nodez to validate transactions in the blockchain, the treasury is receiving approx. 9% per year. That means a return of approx. **181 AVAX** for the 2k AVAX. ➡️ By bringing delegators to our Nodez, the city will receive an additional 6.66% from the delegation fees. These fees will go directly to the treasury and will be used to further develop SkullzCity's ecosystem. By delegating to our Nodez, yu get a chance to win extraordinary rewardz and benefits within the City ## How to become a Delegator Becoming a Delegator is an easy process: * You'll need a wallet on the wallet.avax.network * 25 Avax is the minimum amount to be a delegator * Select SkullzCity's Validator: **NodeID-H1R3mBHFDeBoQzVYyHzX6RGnVV4nMTrWZ** * Choose a time of delegation and get your staking rewards then Here's a video on the complete process: ## The Building in SkullzCity ![Nodez Building — 2D](/files/t1G3zgPiDVcWOnyTBmXm)
