Understanding Validator Creation

When a new validator is created on Monad, it receives:

Validator ID: A unique integer identifier assigned sequentially by the network
Auth Address: The authorization address that has control over the validator’s stake and operations
Initial Commission: The percentage of block rewards the validator will retain before distributing to delegators

Sample Query

List all validators with their creation details:

SELECT 
  validator_id,
  auth_address,
  commission_percentage * 100 as commission_pct,
  transaction_from_address as creator,
  block_timestamp as created_at,
  block_number
FROM monad.staking.validator_creation
ORDER BY block_timestamp ASC;
