# How to be a Nominator

The nominators are responsible for designating their participation to the validators. By locking their $SkyPirl on validators, they allow validators to be selected by the network to create new blocks and share the associated rewards and penalties.

While validators are active participants in the network who take part in the production and finality mechanisms of the blocks, nominators play a more passive role with a delegation approach. Therefore, there is no need for technical knowledge or specific equipment. However, a good nominator is wise with regard to the validators he or she chooses, paying attention to his or her own reward percentage and the risk of being sanctioned if the validator acts in a belligerent manner. Nominators are rewarded according to the number of shares they hold in the Validator (less commission fees).
