Validator Rewards

The iota.staking.validator_rewards model provides detailed information about rewards and performance metrics for each validator per epoch. It only inclues data post-IOTA migration to the Move ecosystem.

Understanding Validator Performance

Commission Rate

The percentage of rewards that validators keep for themselves. Lower commission rates mean more rewards for delegators.

Tallying Rule

The tallying rule is IOTA’s mechanism for evaluating validator performance. Validators observe and report on each other’s behavior, resulting in a global score that reflects reliability and performance.

Gas Survey Quote

Each validator submits a gas price quote that contributes to determining the network-wide reference gas price.
