Participation Node Operator · Participation Node · Pure Proof of Stake
Why Algorand scores 85.2.
The score is a relative entry-barrier measure. It never modifies the TBB Network Quality ranking.
How to participate
A concise orientation; use the official network documentation for production setup and current protocol requirements.
- 1Run a synchronized Algorand node.
- 2Configure participation keys/account for consensus participation.
- 3Keep the node online and rotate/maintain participation material as required.
Low
Consensus participation is not proof-of-work mining; the primary barrier is operating a properly configured online node/account rather than specialized mining hardware.
Consumer / server
No ASIC mining rig is required; a continuously connected participation node is the relevant operator role.
