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 Sui’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.
