What is a Validator Profile?

As a validator, it's not enough to maintain rock-solid, reliable infrastructure. You also need to market yourself effectively and court delegations from prospecting delegators. The Validator Profiles hosted on this Github repository give you a platform to give potential delegators and clients a brief introduction on your team, philosophy, architecture and infrastructure, and to present your ecosystem contributions. Badges may be applied by the maintainers of this repo only for claims that can be validated.

How to change your Validator Profile

1. Fork this repository to your own GitHub account.

2. Clone the repo from your own account. Make sure you clone the repository from your account (your fork), NOT the original repo.

git clone git@github.com:xxxxxx/validator-profiles.git
cd validator-profiles/

3. Create and switch to a new branch named after your validator. For example:

git checkout -b Wraith-profile

4. Copy the template README.md and JSON Profile into your folder inside validators/<your-valoper-address>.

5. Change the contents and add your information as necessary. You can modify anything within your own designated validator folder, including adding image files, new folders, etc.

6. Commit and push the information to your repo.

git add -A
git commit -m "Edit Wraith profile"
git push origin Wraith-profile

7. Under your repo page, click the “New pull request” button. Make a Pull Request to our repository with a summary of the changes. Name your PR with your validator moniker and identify whether it is a "New Profile" or an "Edit to Existing Profile."

8. Your PR will be reviewed as soon as possible. If there are no problems with your PR, it will be merged into the master branch, which will update your Validator Profile. If it is your first time creating a profile, you will be added to the Validator Directory.

profile.json

Registered validators (validators who have submitted a profile) can opt in to receiving support from Terra by putting their contact information in a profile.json file. Terra provides various validator support such as automatic notifications when your validator is missing blocks or votes.

{
    "contact": { // contact info for delegators / outreach
        "email": "validator@example.com",
        "telegram": "@validator"
    },
    "notifications": { // notification settings
        "email": "technicalemail@example.com" // email to receive notifications
    }
}

Terra Station Checkmark/ Inclusion in Asset Repo

A complete profile including a Terravaloper and a contact email in the profile.json file must be submitted in order to receive a checkmark in Terra Station. New profiles are manually reviewed by the repo owner and a second reviewer approves the addition to the Station Assets Repo. This is the final step in completing a profile.
