Validators, liquid staking and uPLS
Learn what a validator does and what a liquid staking receipt can represent.
What this is
A validator is part of PulseChain's proof-of-stake system. It can attest to blocks. It can propose blocks. It can take part in sync work. ValidatorX describes pooled participation in that work.
A validator helps PulseChain check blocks. It can add blocks. ValidatorX groups PLS for this work.

What liquid staking can do
Liquid staking can pair staked PLS with a receipt token. The published ValidatorX material calls uPLS that receipt or position-linked token. A holder can keep a token. The underlying position still follows the protocol's rules.
Liquid staking gives a receipt token. Here it is uPLS.

What uPLS cannot say
uPLS does not promise a fixed value. It does not promise a fixed exit time or available liquidity. Its rights come from the relevant smart contracts and ValidatorX rules. Read those rules. Do not treat a receipt token as simpler than the underlying position.
A receipt token has rules. It does not promise value. It does not promise a quick exit.
