# Validator FAQ

> Frequently asked questions: getting BERA, technical support, and where to get help for node operations.

## How do I get enough BERA for a validator?

Buy `$BERA` on the open market through various DEXs and CEXs, or through the [Berachain Hub](https://hub.berachain.com/).

## I need help with a technical problem

Visit the [Discord](https://discord.gg/berachain) `#node-support` channel. Make sure you have reviewed the [Production Checklist](/nodes/operations/production-checklist) first.
