# Validator Accounts Validators can be seen as entities that vote on (i.e. validate) if a proposal/claim should pass. They are meant to act on the pallet as decentralized controlling bodies which facilitate the transparent and fair carbon credit marketplace. These entities are subjugated to penalizations and they only generate profits off of the primary sales (i.e. sales made from the project owner to another entity) and off of the secondary sales (i.e. sales made between other entities). --- # 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. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://veles-carbon-credits.gitbook.io/veles-carbon-credits-pallet/pallet-entities-and-functionalities/entities/validator-accounts.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
