Staking beacons?

I have a question.

In the white-paper there are the validators and there are the beacons.

Are the validators the only component that will be allowed to be operated by the public and that earns a reward?

If the beacons will also be opened up, do you have any specs for these and who will be allowed to operate them? I assume there is a higher level of staking that would be needed?

Yes, that is also in the Whitepaper.

MINIMUM STAKING - BEACON 5,250 PRV
NUMBER OF BEACON NODES - Dynamic
BEACON REWARD WEIGHT - 2

Not sure about the specifications, nor when they will be publicly available.

Hi @thaibao, do we have a plan to have the beacon operated by the public in the future?
He wants to know about the specs, too. Please share your words.

Hi @Thriftinkid According to the 2021 roadmap, we haven’t planned to do it this year.

We will keep you posted if it is available in the future.
