# As Validator Even when becoming a validator on the NEAR Protocol network is a permission-less process. Meta Pool team is really interested in that high valuable node runners can secure the network transactions. Validator community is wide in variety and includes individuals, communities, startups, VC's, corporations and more.\ \ In this way, we motivate and support initiatives that help more validators to be active on the NEAR Network, as this is the way to have a securest network. Meta Pool have an automatic assignation mechanism that will evaluate the performance of your validator once that it is online and producing blocks/chunks. Once it have a good performance delegation of NEAR tokens from Meta Pool will be done. * [Official documentation about validators on NEAR Protocol](https://docs.near.org/concepts/basics/validators). * [Vote for validators to assign an extra delegation.](/master/meta-pool-ecosystem/vote-governance.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
