Validator
Post-quantum validator identity and evidence.
ML-DSA-65 covers registration proof, HotStuff proposals, votes, quorum certificates, slashing evidence and finality-certificate formats.
Public-safe is not unrestricted. Privacy, safe-mode, read-only, quota, role and gateway policies can still mask or deny a listed surface.
Validator parameters
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Maximum active set | 64 |
| Maximum validator registry | 2,048 |
| Minimum BFT threshold | 4 |
| Epoch | 1,000 blocks |
| Reward claim window | 360 epochs, nominally 33 days 8 hours |
Finality boundary
The BFT/finality surface exists and is tested, but strict activation is not armed in the deployed release. Public lag and status signals are informative. talero_finalizedHead remains the canonical read.
Lifecycle boundary
The runtime-transaction lifecycle is supported through a private write endpoint. Direct administration RPC is development/admin only. The EVM staking bridge is unsupported and not wired.
