# Running a Validator
This document describes how to participate in the Solana testnet as a validator
node.
This section describes how run a Solana validator node.
Please note some of the information and instructions described here may change
in future releases, and documentation will be updated for mainnet participation.
## Overview
Solana currently maintains several testnets, each featuring a validator that can
serve as the entrypoint to the cluster for your validator.
Current testnet entrypoints:
* Developer testnet, devnet.solana.com
Solana may launch special testnets for validator participation; we will provide
you with a specific entrypoint URL to use.
Prior to mainnet, the testnets may be running different versions of solana
software, which may feature breaking changes. For information on choosing a
testnet and finding software version info, jump to [Choosing a Testnet](validator-testnet.md).
The testnets are configured to reset the ledger daily, or sooner, should the
hourly automated cluster sanity test fail.
There is a network explorer that shows the status of solana testnets available
at [http://explorer.solana.com/](https://explorer.solana.com/).
Also we'd love it if you choose to register your validator node with us at
[https://forms.gle/LfFscZqJELbuUP139](https://forms.gle/LfFscZqJELbuUP139).
There are several clusters available to connect to, see [choosing a Cluster](../cli/choose-a-cluster.md) for an overview of each.
