BNB Smart Chain (BSC) staking data provides comprehensive information about validator operations, delegator activities, and staking rewards on the BSC network. This data set includes daily snapshots of delegator balances, staking events, validator creation records, and reward distributions.

Overview of BSC Staking

BNB Smart Chain’s Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA) consensus mechanism relies on validators who stake BNB tokens to secure the network, validate transactions, and produce blocks. The staking mechanism includes:

• Validators: Node operators who stake a minimum required amount of BNB to validate transactions and produce blocks
• Delegators: Token holders who stake their BNB with validators to earn a portion of rewards without running validator infrastructure
• Stake Credit Tokens: Tokens representing delegator stakes with specific validators
• Rewards: BNB tokens earned by validators and delegators for their participation in network consensus

​

Common Identifiers

Several identifiers are used consistently across these tables:

• Operator Address: The validator’s management address (operator_address)
• Consensus Address: The validator’s block validation address (consensus_address)
• Delegator Address: The staker’s wallet address (address or delegator_address)
• Credit Contract: The validator’s stake credit token contract address (credit_contract or stake_credit_address)

​

Block Information

All tables include standard block information:

• block_timestamp: Timestamp of the relevant block
• block_number: Block number
• block_hash: Hash of the block

​

Unique Identifiers

Each table includes a unique_id column that can be used as a primary key for the records.
