# Checking your Validator Status

Check the [Polkadot.js Apps](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss://explorer-rpc-ws.mainnet.stages.humanode.io#/accounts) Explorer to see if you completed all the steps and have become a validator.

There, navigate to `Developer` -> `Chain state` -> `session` -> `validators()`. Press **+** on the right.
