Bond

1,000,000 VORD must be bonded before you can join. The operator chooses at approval:

  • Self-bond — hold ≥ 1,000,000 VORD at your operator address; the amount goes in the Bond field of your signed register message. Operator picks “Accept only”.
  • Operator-seeded — the operator funds the 1,000,000 VORD bond for you from treasury (“Accept + seed 1M”, AdminSeedValidator). You still boot and provide your VRF/endpoint, but you do not need to hold the bond yourself.
