We have some news: we’re proud to share that Rated has joined @Figment_io to scale our mission of delivering trusted, institutional-grade, proof-of-stake data.

5/ And coverage from Coindesk here. https://t.co/uINHHmwqM4

4/ For more info, please see the announcement on the Rated Blog. https://t.co/6XSvMQCO8t

3/ Proof-of-stake is entering its institutional era. Together, we’ll be delivering the data layer it deserves.

2/ For our users and customers: 🔹 The Rated Explorer remains live and maintained 🔹 APIs continue uninterrupted 🔹 The same team carries the torch inside Figment

1/ Rated & Figment have been close partners for a long time. We’ve powered parts of Figment’s data stack, and share a deep belief that reliable, transparent data is the foundation for institutional adoption of staking. Now, we’re combining forces to scale that mission globally.

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 https://t.co/LDZtVO7UGH 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: https://t.co/GuWj4dmZbD

@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: https://t.co/8RXhjpnIAL - Entities: https://t.co/qjXvlcCZ4b

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! https://t.co/2NUcnt8zll

@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. https://t.co/ofOOWkk5ze

@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.
