Validator
Definition: An Ethereum validator is a participant in Proof of Stake that proposes or attests to blocks after activating stake under protocol rules.
Validators are part of Ethereum consensus and are distinct from ordinary wallet users who simply hold or transfer ETH.
How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet
Terenval uses Ethereum network state secured by validators; ordinary wallet use does not make a user an Ethereum validator.
Important: Do not confuse holding ETH in a wallet with operating validator infrastructure.
