The platform validator group runs the normal validator. Its group help is Run normal validator components (base/src/platform_network/cli_app/main.py:60).

​
platform validator run

Starts a validator that fetches the active challenge set from the registry, runs evaluations through the challenge orchestrator, and submits computed weights on-chain on a fixed interval (base/src/platform_network/cli_app/main.py:834-854).

​
What run reads from config

All values come from the validator.* section of your settings file (base/src/platform_network/config/settings.py:41-52).
The effective weights endpoint is weights_url if set, otherwise registry_url (base/src/platform_network/config/settings.py:50-52). Leave weights_url empty to read weights from the same host that serves the registry.

​
Wallet and chain

validator run builds an on-chain submit runtime, so it needs valid wallet and chain settings from the network.* section. See Settings reference for network.wallet_name, network.wallet_hotkey, network.chain_endpoint, and network.netuid (base/src/platform_network/config/settings.py:10-17).

Configure your validator

See the annotated validator.example.yaml for a complete, ready-to-edit configuration.
