 # Stake Requirements
 
 This page provides an overview of the stake requirements to become a validator
-on the consensus layer and to run a ParaTime compute node of the Oasis Network.
+on the consensus layer, to run a ParaTime compute nodes and to run observer
+nodes on the Oasis Network.
 
-## Consensus Layer
+## Registering an Entity
 
-To become a validator on the consensus layer, you will need to have enough ROSE
-for **registering your entity**, **registering your validator node**, and be among
-the top entities by stake to be included in the **validator set**.

-Current requirements are:

+ To run a ParaTime compute node you will need to have a minimum stake which

+| -------- | -------------- | -------- |

+## ParaTime Observer Node
 
+To run a ParaTime observer nodes, you will need to register an entity and add
+your observer nodes to the entity descriptor.
