How to join GEN-X as a validator?​

If you are interested in joining our GEN-X network and contributing to the first federated Gaia-X ecosystem with community-driven governance, you are welcome to contact us (contact@delta-dao.com) or any other partner from the network. As a prerequisite, you must commit to the Gaia-X Trust Framework and display W3C-compliant verifiable credentials for your identity and infrastructure. These Gaia-X compliant Self-Descriptions allow other participants of the Gaia-X Web3 ecosystem to decide if they trust you and your services.

If you want to learn more about Gaia-X compliance and the Gaia-X Trust Framework, you will find a great starting point here. You can also read the basic technical requirements, including step-by-step instructions on creating Gaia-X-compliant Self-Descriptions. Furthermore, we can recommend our blog post on the Gaia-X Compliance Service, which gives a detailed overview of Gaia-X's signing and validation services. When all conditions are met, any validator can initiate a vote to add a new member to the GEN-X network. The current validators then vote democratically on whether to accept the new participant.
