Rated, Home of the Industry’s Leading Network Explorer, Launches on Solana

cryptonews.com:

– Rated monitors node and node operator performance and risk on Proof of Stake networks, where node operators and validators steward billions in value.

Rated is pleased to introduce the Solana Network Explorer, offering a detailed, real-time overview of Solana’s network performance, allowing users to delve into the specifics of consensus data and validators that secure billions of dollars in value.

A significant amount of blockchain and transactional value is being built natively on the internet, yet information about how they perform and the risks underlying them is fragmented. Block explorers are essential, yet the work carried out by network operators and the underlying blockchain infrastructure providers is often in the dark.

Solana’s performance driven design is entirely reliant on the network of validators who make up the Solana Network. There are currently around 1767 validators securing the Solana with an active stake of approximately 58 Billion USD, across over 1 million active staking accounts.

Questions often arise about the actual composition of the network, Who are the network operators and stakers ? What risks are they taking,  and how do they perform?

The Rated Solana Network Explorer and suite of API tools answers these questions by providing detailed insights into the present and historical state of the network, including operator performance, commissions, network penetration, vote effectiveness/latency, client, geo and host distribution,  and more. In the blockchain realm, traditional metrics like uptime, latency, and APY only tell part of the story about a network’s health and the standing  of the operators within it ,  Rated saw the need to develop RAVER, an open-source methodology aimed at measuring
