hi
i am setting up a validator and i had a query
like right now the funds wallet is generated and stored in the node itself
is there any way to decouple the funds wallet from the validator?

If you are worried about security of your validator wallet:

1- You can limit it to 10,000 TON, create a nominator pool, and use another wallet to send your funds in the pool. This way, your risk is limited to 10,000.

2- Yesterday I found a very interesting wallet, which allows funds to only be sent to a predesignated address. This I think will help you secure that 10,000 too. I haven't tested it myself, but you can find it here:

awesome
thanks
