We are thrilled to announce that Rated Labs, the company behind @ratedw3b, has raised a $12.888 million Series A round to accelerate our mission for greater transparency and rich context in Web3 infrastructure data. Read more 👉

At Rated, we help you understand and make better decisions about blockchain infrastructure by provoding tools such as our recently launched Block Insights endpoint. Learn more at and

Read more here as we dive deep into the relationship of CUs, block rewards, validator performance, and fluctuating blockspace demand:

3. Although CU usage rates are similar across the majority of validators regardless of stake, this may change with a doubling of the limit, giving an advantage to well-resourced validators that can monetize the expanded block space, and potentially increasing centralization risk.

@solana @SolanaFndn @aeyakovenko @laine_sa_ @WholegrainMax @robplust 2. The top ten validators on Solana, in terms of stake weight (~21% of active stake), each producing 3k – 8k blocks per day, stand to gain as much as an additional 460 SOL per day or around USD 76.8k in today's prices.

We've released new research on quantifying the impact of compute units (CU) on Solana validator rewards. Key insights:.1. Raising the per-block CU ceiling from 50M to 100M could add 0.0575 SOL in rewards per block for validators that consistently fill the additional block space.

We have also made the necessary changes on the backend to track validator-related metrics on a stake/balance level instead. Stay tuned for more upgrades and changes in the coming days!. How can we better support you with the Pectra upgrade? Let us know at

@ethereum We also have endpoints with data on the consolidation churn capacity used over specific time periods. This can also be viewed on a per entity level based on the highest level of aggregation. Check them out here:

@ethereumfndn @ethStaker @nixorokish @hanni_abu @drakefjustin @mikeneuder @VitalikButerin First, we have endpoints returning data on processed validator consolidations on an individual validator- and entity-level. Try them out:.- Validators: - Entities:

Congratulations to the @ethereum developers and the community for a successful Pectra hardfork!. With today's upgrade, we're releasing new data API endpoints related to the hardfork. You'll see them in action as they power new features in our explorer.

For more information on the RAVER and our other data endpoints for various networks, see here:

@NethermindEth @ethereum @ethereumfndn @WeekInEthNews We ranked different node operators running at least 100 validators and who were active for the whole month of April. The source of this data is our validator performance endpoints. See them here:

To lessen noise, we only considered validators that had opportunities to propose more than the median in the past 4 weeks (Mar 28-Apr 25). However, the endpoint itself returns data for all validators regardless. Try it and let us know what you think!.

@jito_labs @jito_sol @brian_smith_0 SIMD-0123 allows for an in-protocol way to distribute block rewards to delegators which mean these metrics become very relevant for stakers. To help, we've released an endpoint that gives data on block level stats per validator, incl. avg CUs and txns.

@SolanaFndn @aeyakovenko The top 5 looks very different and they are the only ones averaging more than 0.1 SOL per block in Jito-Solana MEV tips:. @coinbase 04, @global_stake, Ikari, Gladiator Stake, and GERSIA. Interestingly only Coinbase is in the top 5 of both block rewards and MEV tips.

Did you know that in the last 4 weeks, there are only 5 @solana validators which have an avg rewards per block higher than 0.051 SOL?. They are @coinbase 04, Watchtower ( @italoacasas ), @RadiantsDAO, @SuperteamDE x @StakingFac, and @MRGNGroup 4. MEV tips per block though. 🧵👇

We're happy to support a network like Babylon who are innovating on proof-of-stake infrastructure and security. It's been a pleasure working so far with the @babylonlabs_io team and we are looking forward to seeing how the Bitcoin staking ecosystem further evolves.

@babylonlabs_io @babyloneco @bbn_foundation @menzel_clayton @sina___v @Trudy_liuu @baby_fisherman The data is aggregated daily so expect data to start being returned a day after the mainnet launch. Check our docs for more info: We also have endpoints related to validator-delegator relationships (e.g. stake state).

Rated supports Babylon 🤝. With the launch of Babylon Genesis Mainnet, we have also launched our Babylon validator and network rewards endpoints. With these endpoints, you can see exactly how much a validator is earning, and how it compares to the broader network.
