 ## Overview
-The `ValidatorManager` contract is used to create and operate a soverign L1. When converting to a soverign L1, the address of the `ValidatorManager` contract is specified in the `ConvertSubnetToL1Tx` transaction to the P-Chain. The `ValidatorManager` contract is then initialized with the initial validator set, and the subnet is converted to an L1 with the initial validators registered to the P-Chain.
