# Validator Network

To decentralize trust, DataProof operates a network of validators who help verify ZKP proofs, process AI models, and anchor results on-chain. A decentralized validator layer ensures that no single party controls the verification process, maintaining platform neutrality and resilience.

### Validator Roles:

Run integrity checks (ZKP validation, model inference)

Propose and verify results

Stake $DATA to participate and earn rewards
