Account, validator, and snarker reference, endpoint descriptions, and links.
Accounts
Mina is an account-centric blockchain meaning that an account is the entity that is stored in one of four Mina ledgers: the Snarked Ledger, the Next Epoch Ledger, the Staking Ledger, and the Staged Ledger, and whatever happens on-chain, is an account update. An account on Mina has a public key by which it is found on-chain and a private key used to sign transactions. It takes 1 Mina to open an account on Mina.
Minascan shows a list of all accounts on the Mina blockchain.

Validators
Validators are accounts that process and validate transactions with a signature, thus supporting network consistency. Anyone can become a validator by staking Mina funds to themselves. Validators are incentivized to be part of the Mina security layer by receiving regular epochs - once per epoch (almost 14 days and 21 hours).
Minascan shows a list of all validators on the Mina blockchain. You can also see the staking terms each validator offers.
The following endpoints are available for Mina validators on Blockberry.

Snarkers
Snarkers are accounts that produce zk-proofs on Mina for validators to validate transactions.
Minascan shows a list of all snarkers on the Mina blockchain.
