Validators

Validators play a crucial role in securing and maintaining the Solana network by processing transactions and participating in consensus. When choosing a validator to stake your SOL with, consider several key factors: commission rate (lower means more rewards for you), performance metrics like skip rate (lower is better), total stake amount (higher indicates more trust), and their uptime history. It's also worth reviewing their website and community presence to ensure they're a reliable operator. The table below provides detailed metrics to help you make an informed staking decision.
