# Unjail Validator

Unjailing a Coreum validator node will **reactivate a validator so it can again participate in the blockchain network’s core operations after being temporarily disabled for a rule violation**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Unjailing a Coreum validator node means re-enabling a previously suspended validator so it can again help run, secure, and validate the blockchain network.
{% endhint %}

Follow these steps to unjail the validator node:

**Step 1: Navigate to Validator Node Page** - From the left navigation panel, navigate to the **Validator Nodes** Link on the platform. On this page, you will see your deployed Coreum Validator node listed under **Validator Nodes (x).** On your desired node item, click the **Manage** button under the **ACTIONS** field.

**Step 3: Unjail Validator Confirmation**: To unjail a validator, access the settings menu on the dashboard and select "Unjail Validator." Confirm the action by approving the transaction using the **same wallet that was used during staking**. If a different wallet is used, the application will throw an error requiring the same wallet. Finally, initiate the process to re-enable a previously suspended validator..
