As a frame of reference, maintaining an Ursula is similar to the deployment and maintenance of a
high-availability web service, with the addition of ethereum accounts management.
In order to be a successful Ursula operator, you will need a machine (physical or virtual) which
can be kept online and ready to perform cryptographic operations for the network. However, short

2. Fund Worker Account with ETH
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ensure that the worker's ethereum account has ETH for transaction gas.
Ensure that the worker's ethereum account has sufficient ETH to pay the gas for regular transactions, or
it may forgo subsidies (inflationary rewards).
**Reducing the gas costs burdened upon stakers/workers is an active and high-priority area of network development.**
