Delegators If you as a User of the service are a delegator, you accept to comply with the ToS and you confirm to have read the FAQ for Delegators and have full knowledge about being a delegator and the risks associated with it. You’re also aware and accept that delegators share the revenue of their validator, but they also share the risk. In terms of revenue, validators and delegators differ in that validators can apply a commission on the revenue that goes to their delegator before it is distributed. In terms of risk, delegators’ Atoms can be slashed if their validator misbehave or malfunction. By accepting to be a delegator you accept the following risks: First, staked Atoms are locked up, and retrieving them requires a 3-week waiting period (“unbonding period”). Additionally, if a validator misbehaves or malfunction, a portion of its total stake can be slashed (i.e. destroyed). This includes the stake of their delegators. By being a delegator, you also are aware about and accepts the following regarding sentry nodes and validator nodes:

Sentry nodes: The sentries are hosted on Amazon Web Services and are provided as a public utility to the Cosmos network. The sentry nodes offer protection from outside interference, such as denial-of-service attacks or attempts to compromise security. Multiple sentries are deployed behind load balancers in order to scale with demand and provide high availability. To avoid any single point of failure, sentries are distributed evenly inside several availability zones.

Validator Nodes: The validator nodes are co-located in a secure datacenter or in AWS and connect exclusively through sentry nodes to the Cosmos network. We operate two nodes in an active / hot-standby setup. As an added precaution secret key material reside in a tamper-proof hardware security module. Using single-tenant, physical servers has the added benefit of mitigating current and future speculative execution and cache side-channel attacks.
