The Qubetics Validator Overview Page offers a list view of validator performance, including voting power, self-stake, blocks proposed, and delegator participation. It helps users analyze staking opportunities with metrics like APR and commission rates, enabling easy sorting and navigation.
The Validators Overview section gives users a clear and concise summary of the overall performance of validators and the network's health. It is a key area for understanding how the network operates and provides essential metrics for both validators and delegators.
FR 6.001a: Total Validators This metric displays the total number of active validators in the network (e.g., 60). A higher number of validators indicates greater decentralization and security for the network. It shows the level of participation in block validation and consensus, reflecting the network’s robustness.
FR 6.001b: Staking APR Displays the current annual return rate for staking tokens with validators (e.g., 18.5%). The APR is calculated based on the total rewards distributed and the total tokens staked.
Three tabs categorize validators based on their current status:
FR 6.002a: All Validators Displays all validators in the network.
FR 6.002b: Active Shows only validators actively participating in block production.
FR 6.002c: Inactive Lists validators temporarily not participating.
FR 6.002d: Deactivated Shows validators that are permanently removed or not validating.
The Validator List Table provides a comprehensive view of all validators in the network, organizing key details into columns for easy navigation and analysis. This table is essential for both delegators and validators to assess network performance, validator contributions, and staking opportunities.
FR 6.003a: Sr No. A unique serial number is assigned to each validator for quick reference.
FR 6.003b: Name Displays the name of the validator (e.g., Shinobi Validator, Sherlock Nodes). The validator name is a human-readable identifier, making it easier for delegators to recognize and select validators.
FR 6.003c: Validator Address The blockchain address associated with the validator (e.g., 0x47865...46845). This address uniquely identifies the validator on the blockchain. Clicking on the address opens a detailed page with metrics like blocks proposed, commission history, and staking statistics.
FR 6.003d: Status Displays the validator’s current operational status. The status column helps delegators identify reliable validators and avoid those not participating in the network.
Active: The validator is actively participating in block validation and consensus.
Deactivating: The validator is in the process of being removed from the active set due to insufficient stake, performance issues, or other reasons.
Inactive: The validator is not currently validating blocks and is out of the active set.
FR 6.003e: Total Stake The total amount of tokens staked with the validator (e.g., 625.26 TICS). This metric reflects the validator's overall influence in the network and their ability to attract delegations.
FR 6.003f: Commission The percentage of staking rewards retained by the validator as a fee for their services (e.g., 0.1%). Commission rates allow delegators to understand how much of their rewards will be kept by the validator.
FR 6.003g: Self Stake The amount of tokens the validator has staked themselves to maintain their role (e.g., 40.25 TICS). Validators must maintain a minimum self-stake to remain in the active set. Insufficient self-stake can result in status changes to "Deactivating" or "Inactive".
FR 6.003h: Delegators The number of users who have delegated tokens to the validator (e.g., 2). This metric indicates the validator’s popularity and level of trust within the community.
Pagination controls below the table help users navigate through multiple pages of transaction data by selecting specific page numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3). Additionally, the table can be sorted by columns like value, timestamp, or transaction hash, allowing users to organize the data according to their preferences for easier analysis.
