+### ⭐ HIGHLIGHT | Validator Gating 🌁🌉
+
+The Validator Gater feature allows the interception of validator-related actions, such as staking, unstaking, and explicit validator membership adjustments (federated membership), based on user-defined policies. By implementing a custom smart contract that adheres to the `IValidatorGater` interface, developers can enforce custom logic to either permit or deny these actions.
+
+This feature is designed to support both federated and collateral-based networks, providing flexibility to manage validator permissions and validator power assignments through an external gating contract.
