Validators
Beta — Validator analytics is under active development. Data, scoring, and features may change.
Polygon PoS has 100+ active validators. POLTRACK tracks all of them with scoring and analytics.
POLTRACK Score
Each validator receives a composite score (0–100) based on seven components:
| Component | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Reliability | 25% | Checkpoint signing rate |
| Decentralization | 20% | Stake concentration and delegator distribution |
| Record | 20% | Validator age and operating history |
| Health | 15% | Current state: jailed, missed checkpoints |
| Consistency | 10% | Variance in performance |
| Commission | 5% | Commission rate impact on delegator yield |
| Transparency | 5% | Completeness of validator metadata |
Score badges: Excellent (90+), Good (75–89), Fair (50–74), Poor (25–49), Critical (0–24).
Tags
Validators receive auto-computed tags based on on-chain data: exchange, institutional, distributed, retail, 0% fee, high fee, top performer, growing, declining, and others.
Use the filter buttons on /validators to find validators by tag.
Fee income
Under PIP-65, validators receive priority fees from Polygon PoS transactions in periodic batch distributions. Under PIP-85, 37% of the priority fee pool is shared with stakers.
POLTRACK tracks batch payments and estimates per-validator fee income.
Performance
Performance is measured by checkpoint participation on Ethereum L1. Validators must sign checkpoints to earn rewards. Missing checkpoints reduces rewards for all delegators.
