WitnessUpdateOperation | @beblurt/dblurt

Users who wish to become a witness must pay a fee acceptable to the current witnesses to apply for the position and allow voting to begin.

If the owner isn't a witness they will become a witness. Witnesses are charged a fee equal to 1 weeks worth of witness pay which in turn is derived from the current share supply. The fee is only applied if the owner is not already a witness.

If the block_signing_key is null then the witness is removed from contention. The network will pick the top 21 witnesses for producing blocks.
