Staking Validators
The cornerstone of the Ethereum ecosystem is the consensus supported by a widespread, global, and decentralized peer-to-peer network. Every node in this node that validates the blocks and other operations is called the validator. The validators are simply the full nodes running the proof-of-stake consensus, guaranteeing that an external party can't alter an operation.

In 2022, the Gasper's proof-of-stake Consensus was introduced to replace the Ethash Proof-of-Work, which operated for 8 years.
Proposing a block in the Ethereum blockchain is not obvious, but it plays a key role in the reward system.
The Attestation and its propagation mechanism allow the Ethereum network to establish a view of the blockchain's state.
Keys are an essential cryptography component, and the validators manage them in a specific way.
Rewards and penalties are major for a healthy network and incentivize businesses or individuals to run validators.
The validators represent an elementary component of Ethereum and are crucial for its global operation. You can read everything you need in this section.
