# Validators

The TICS Scan validator page provides detailed information about validators on the Qubetics blockchain. It displays key metrics like validator names, addresses, total stake, commission rates, and uptime percentages. Users can see how many blocks each validator has validated and their overall performance. This page helps users choose reliable validators for staking and ensures transparency in the network’s decentralization and security.

### Validator Summary

The Validator Summary provides a comprehensive overview of validator activity and network participation on the Qubetics blockchain. It includes key metrics that reflect the health and efficiency of the validator ecosystem:

* **Onchain APY**\
  Shows the current annual percentage yield _(APY)_ offered by validators for staking rewards _(e.g., 31.58%)_. This metric is essential for delegators looking to maximize their returns by staking tokens.
* **Total Validators**\
  Displays the total number of validators participating in the network _(e.g., 45)_. This indicates the overall capacity and decentralization of the blockchain.
* **Bonded Rate**\
  Represents the percentage of the total token supply that is staked or bonded to validators _(e.g., 19.947%)_. A higher bonded rate reflects strong participation in securing the network.
* **FR 8.001d: Active Validators**\
  Shows the number of validators currently active and producing blocks _(e.g., 42)_. This metric highlights the validators contributing to the blockchain's stability and operation.

### FR 8.002: Validators Table

The Validators Table provides detailed information about each validator on the Qubetics blockchain, helping users understand their role, performance, and contribution to the network. The table is organized into the following columns:

* **FR 8.002a: Validator Name**\
  The name or identifier of the validator _(e.g., Shidoguardian, Xshrimp.com)_. This makes it easy to identify individual validators.
* **FR 8.002b: Voting Power**\
  Represents the validator's influence in the network, determined by the total tokens delegated to it _(e.g., 3025)_. If no tokens are delegated, this field may be empty, indicating no active voting power.
* **FR 8.002c: Delegators**\
  Shows the number of accounts delegating tokens to the validator _(e.g., 1)_. This reflects the level of trust and participation from the community.
* **FR 8.002d: Self Bonded**\
  Displays the number of tokens the validator has self-bonded to maintain its stake _(e.g., 3035.00000000)_. Self-bonding shows the validator's personal commitment to securing the network.
* **FR 8.002e: Commission**\
  Indicates the percentage of rewards retained by the validator as a fee for its services _(e.g., 0.05%)_. Lower commission rates may attract more delegators, but higher rates often reflect the quality of the validator’s infrastructure and services.
* **FR 8.002f: Status**\
  Shows the current status of the validator:
  * **Active:** Actively validating blocks and contributing to network operations.
  * **Deactivating:** In the process of leaving the active validator set.
  * **Inactive:** Not currently participating in validation.

### FR 8.003: Pagination

Pagination controls at the bottom of the validator summary allow users to navigate through multiple pages of token data efficiently (e.g., 1, 2, 3 ... 12).
