+#Stake Wars 2.0 Validators List
+
+Hello! This is the list of professional validators that joined Stake Wars 2.0
+Fork this repo and submnit a PR adding your validator, or fixing any typo or error in the description.
+
+| Validator Name | website | Logo | Blurb | Account ID | Fees | Country |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Nearkats | https://near.dev | https://docs.nearprotocol.com/img/icon-core.svg | The unofficial and Betanet-only validator that provides token delegation services. Stake with us! | @nearkat | 0% | US |
+| NUC Home Alone | - | - | A small, Intel NUC-based validator node, connected to a residential Interenet connection | @nuc.test | 0% | US |
+| Validators.Online | https://validators.online/ | --- | --- | @validatorsonline.test | 1% | MY |
+| Wetez | https://wetez.io | http://www.wetez.io/_nuxt/img/72ebb49.png | Wetez is the most professional team in the POS ( Proof of Stake) field. And we provide the most secure and efficient node management service. Stake with us! | @wetez11.test | 0% | CN |
+
+Note: at this stage, the delegation contract doesn't support validator fees. Therefore the `Fees` column can be safely omitted by now, so we can scope this phase to test the deposit/staking, performance/returns, and unstaking/withdraw.

-# Here are some test scenarios you can earn points for
-
-## This list will expand over time
-
-Some of these scenarios will require reaching out to request something from us. The best place to do that is Discord. We're going to set the wallet to start accounts at 100k NEAR starting next week. If you have specific things you need aside from that, please let us know for future tests.

-### \* Time Series Challenge
-
-Connect to the network, work for 10 sec, disconnect from the network, wait for 10 sec, repeat.
-
-Do this for values: 1 sec, 10 sec, and 60 sec.
-
-This can be probably emulated through some Linux tool that blocks network connections, just have a cron job that blocks network for X seconds, then unblocks it for X sec, repeat.
+# Stake Wars 2.0 Test Scenarios
+Please note that Stake Wars is not rewarding any node-related test scenarios. Instead, we want you to test the functionalities of the delegation smart contract, by performing the following actions:
+- deposit and withdraw tokens
+- lock and unlock tokens in the staking
+- measure the rewards
