Rated is a company that rates node and node operator performance and risk on Proof of Stake networks, where node operators and validators steward billions in value. In order to provide more detailed insights into the performance and risks of blockchain networks, Rated has introduced the Solana Network Explorer. This tool offers a real-time overview of Solana’s network performance, allowing users to delve into consensus data and validators securing billions of dollars in value. The company recognized the fragmented nature of information about blockchain networks and the lack of visibility into the work carried out by network operators.
Solana’s performance-driven design relies on a network of validators who secure the network. Currently, there are around 1767 validators securing Solana with an active stake of approximately 58 billion USD across over 1 million active staking accounts. The Rated Solana Network Explorer and suite of API tools aim to provide detailed insights into the present and historical state of the network. Users can access information about operator performance, commissions, network penetration, vote effectiveness/latency, client, geo, and host distribution, among other metrics. Rated developed the RAVER methodology, an open-source approach to measuring risk-adjusted performance more comprehensively in the blockchain realm.
In the blockchain space, traditional metrics like uptime, latency, and APY only tell part of the story about a network’s health and the standing of operators within it. Rated’s methodology sheds light on the specifics of Solana’s network and establishes a path towards enhanced transparency, accountability, and ongoing innovation in the ecosystem. The introduction of the Solana Explorer on Rated adds valuable context to the Solana validator network and makes it easier for users to monitor and understand the network’s core functioning. The company is excited about launching support for Solana and believes that the tools they are introducing will bring material value to the ecosystem.
Rated Labs is a pioneer in the Web3 infrastructure data space, with a focus on providing insights into network performance and risk. Since its inception, the company has garnered nearly 250k unique visitors on its network explorer, 15k monthly active users, and 500 million calls on its API spread across 45+ integrations. Rated has also formed partnerships and integrations with leaders and innovators in the staking ecosystem, including Lido, Metamask, Liquid Collective, Chorus One, and more. Those interested in exploring Solana’s network and operators can visit the Solana Rated Explorer, as well as access the company’s API and press kit for more information.
