Collator on Moonbeam/Moonriver

A collator with high enough tokens staked to them can join the active collator pool, and will have a chance to produce blocks. They collect transactions from users and produce state transition proofs for the relay chain to validate. Similar to validators in most Proof-of-Stake chains, tokens staked to the collator would be slashed if the collator misbehaves.

Forbole is running a collator node on Moonriver now, and will be running one on Moonbeam when it is launched. Forbole's collator address is: 0x0418656Fdf3646968489b8e6aF6C25562803c69D.

The staking process in Moonbeam/Moonriver is called "nominating a collator" or "nomination". People stake their MOVR tokens to any collators are nominators. Collators receive part of the block rewards, which they can share as staking rewards with their nominators proportionally.
