+# Listing a VSP on decred.org
+
+Public VSP servers are a key part of the Decred infrastructure as they make
+Proof-of-Stake far more accessible for the average user.
+It is therefore desirable to increase the number of public VSPs listed in
+Decrediton and on [decred.org](https://decred.org/vsp) in order to promote
+decentralization and improve the stability of the Decred network.
+
+## Operator Requirements
+
+* Familiarity with system administration work on Linux.
+* Ability to compile from source, setting up and maintaining `dcrd` and
+ `dcrwallet`.
+* Willingness to stay in touch with the Decred community for important news and
+ updates. A private channel on [Matrix](https://chat.decred.org) exists for
+ this purpose.
+* Availability to update VSP binaries when new releases are produced.
+* Operators should ideally be pairs of individuals or larger groups, so that the
+ unavailability of a single person does not lead to extended outages in their
+ absence.
+* Ability to effectively communicate in English.
+
+## Deployment Requirements
+
+* At least one machine dedicated to hosting the web front end, handling web
+ connections from VSP users.
+* At least three dedicated machines hosting voting wallets and a local instance
+ of dcrd.
+* The machines used to host the voting wallets must be spread across 3 or more
+ physically separate locations.
+* The web frontend must have an IP that is distinct from those of the voting
+ wallets, and is ideally located in another physical location.
+* The VSP must be run on testnet for 1 week to confirm it is working properly.
+ Uptime and number of votes made versus missed will be checked.
+* The VSP must be run on mainnet in test mode (no public access) until a VSP
+ operator demonstrates they have successfully voted 1 ticket of their own using
+ the VSP.
+* The operator must have an adequate monitoring solution in place, ideally
+ alerting on server downtime and application error logging.
