The total monthly cost, in USD, of running the validator: mainnet and testnet nodes, hardware, hosting and everything else needed to keep them secure and reliable.
The percentage fee that the validator takes from the rewards generated by the delegated stake. This is an incentive for the validator’s services and maintenance of the network.
The percentage fee that the validator takes from the rewards generated through Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) opportunities. It's an additional revenue from reordering transactions within blocks to maximize profit.
The total amount of SOL delegated to the validator by delegators. This stake contributes to the validator’s performance, as higher delegated stakes can increase potential rewards.
The amount of SOL that the validator operator has staked as a delegator.
The percentage of blocks that the validator misses. A lower skip rate usually indicates a more reliable validator and directly influences rewards.
The current market price of 1 SOL in USD.
The annual rate staked SOL earns from inflation alone, before commission — protocol inflation divided by the share of supply that is staked, so it runs higher than the inflation rate itself. Block rewards and MEV are priced separately below.
An estimated number of epochs in a year based on the current epoch duration.
Block and MEV rewards differ sharply by client: measured per leader slot, Harmonic lands about 30% above the network median and Agave about 20% below. Picking one fills the two reward fields with that client's median.
The amount of SOL that the validator earns per block validated, which is shared with delegators based on the validator’s commission.
The amount of SOL that the validator earns from Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) tips per block, adding to the validator’s revenue. MEV refers to additional revenue from reordering transactions within blocks to maximize profit.
The SOL fees validators incur for on-chain voting to support network consensus. These fees, similar to regular transaction costs, can become a validator’s main expense, especially at higher SOL prices.
The amount of SOL reimbursed to validators for voting in one epoch. The compensation mechanism is designed to incentivize their participation in network governance.
Leader slots scheduled to the validator per epoch. On Auto the count follows delegated stake — at the rate measured for the selected validator, or at the network’s stake per slot when none is selected. Turn Auto off to enter a fixed count of your own.
