4. Paste the hex output from `author_rotateKeys`, set the commission, allow or block new nominations, then click **Bond & Validate** to link your validator with its session keys.
You can also set the **commission** and **blocked** nominations option via `staking.validate` extrinsic. By default, the blocked option is set to FALSE (i.e., the validator accepts nominations).
On the [**Staking**](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/#/staking){target=\_blank} tab in Polkadot.js Apps, you can see your validator's status, the number of available validator slots, and the nodes that have signaled their intent to validate. Your node may initially appear in the waiting queue, especially if the validator slots are full. The following is an example view of the **Staking** tab:
The validator set refreshes each era. If there's an available slot in the next era, your node may be selected to move from the waiting queue to the active validator set, allowing it to start validating blocks. If your validator is not selected, it remains in the waiting queue. Increasing your stake or gaining more nominators may improve your chance of being selected in future eras.
