Table Details

The beacon.raw.balances_daily_est table provides daily validator balances for all validators on the Beacon Chain using an Eastern Standard Time end-of-day boundary. Each row is one validator’s state for that EST calendar day: the snapshot is the slot at 23:59:59 EST (04:59:59 UTC the next day on slot_timestamp). EST is a fixed UTC−5 offset with no daylight-saving adjustment, so the boundary stays at 04:59:59 UTC all year. Column definitions match beacon.raw.balances_daily, with an additional slot_timestamp_est field for the snapshot time in EST (slot_timestamp minus 5 hours).

Use Cases: Auditing, Accounting & Research

Auditing and compliance: Track balance changes day over day; use withdrawal_address, epoch fields, and finalized / execution_optimistic for reconciliation and certainty of state. Accounting and financial analysis: Daily snapshots in EST for reporting aligned to US Eastern business dates (note: no daylight-saving shift); use balance / raw_balance deltas between consecutive days for accruals. Research and network analytics: Study lifecycle transitions via status and epoch columns; aggregate by date(slot_timestamp_est) for EST-dated network metrics.
