Understanding Commission

Validator commission affects delegator returns:

Commission Rate: Expressed as a decimal (e.g., 0.10 = 10%)
Delegator Impact: Higher commission means lower delegator rewards
Competitive Factor: Validators may adjust commission to attract or retain delegators

Sample Query

Track commission changes for all validators:

SELECT
  validator_id,
  auth_address,
  old_commission_percentage * 100 as old_commission_pct,
  new_commission_percentage * 100 as new_commission_pct,
  (new_commission_percentage - old_commission_percentage) * 100 as change_pct,
  block_timestamp
FROM monad.staking.validator_commission_changes
ORDER BY block_timestamp DESC;
