# Overview

Becoming an Avalanche primary network validator requires significant financial resources. 

BENQI provides various solutions that streamline and provide cost-effective infrastructure for anyone wishing to launch Avalanche primary network validators affordably.

**Pay-as-you-Go (PAYG):**  Ideal for short-term users such as MEV searchers. Users pay AVAX upfront, and BENQI provides the full 2,000 AVAX required for validator staking.

We cover this deeply in the [payg](https://docs.benqi.fi/ignite/payg "mention")section.
