Attestation Rewards

​

Beacon Chain Attestation Rewards

The majority of a validator’s rewards come from making attestations. While assigning committees and slots is randomized, each active validator is guaranteed to make one attestation per epoch.

Validators earn rewards for attestations only when included in Beacon Chain blocks. Each attestation consists of three votes, with rewards based on the following criteria:

• Inclusion of the attestation with the correct source checkpoint within 5 slots

• Inclusion of the attestation with the correct target checkpoint within 32 slots

• Inclusion of the attestation with the correct head block within 1 slot

Attestation rewards for Beacon chain are split up into two separate tables. Both tables are retrieved from /eth/v1/beacon/rewards/attestations/{epoch} RPC Method.

​

Attestation Rewards Daily

Attestation reward rewards collected by validator aggregated by day from beacon.raw.total_rewards. Note that attestation does not include sync committee rewards.

For each validator, there is only entry daily.

Query Sample

Finding the total rewards for specific Epoch

select 

    epoch, 

    count(distinct validator_index) as validators, 

    sum(head) as sum_head,

    sum(target) as sum_target,

    sum(source) as sum_source,

    sum(inactivity) as sum_inactvity,

    sum_head + sum_target + sum_source + sum_inactvity as epoch_attestation_reward

from beacon.raw.total_rewards

where epoch = 289610

group by all
