How to Become a Validator(Testnet)
In order to become a Ramestta Network validator (on the Testnet), you must stake a RAMA. Remember you will need test RAMA and MATIC on the Polygon Mumbai network.
You can claim test MATIC at https://mumbaifaucet.com/ You can claim test RAMA at https://testnet.ramascan.com/faucet
During Testnet, anyone can become a validator (there's up to 10 slots). While this is a test environment, validators who don't behave correctly can be turned off to allow others to join the board. Also remember that during Testnet, validators will be receiving test Bone (they have no real monetary value).
Users can stake test RAMA using the Validator Dashboard.
