The default network series of the Explorer (superminority_validator_count). Download the data (CSV)
The minimum number of top-staked validators whose combined stake reaches 33.34% (superminority) or 66.67% (supermajority) of the network total. A superminority can halt the chain, and a supermajority can finalize blocks. Higher numbers mean that stake is more evenly distributed.

What it shows
The minimum number of top-staked validators, ranked by active stake, largest first, whose combined stake reaches or exceeds 33.34% of total network active stake. This is the size of the smallest coalition that could halt the chain by refusing to vote. A higher number means greater decentralization.
How it is computed
Validators are ranked by active stake from largest to smallest. The superminority count is the smallest number of top-ranked validators whose combined stake reaches or exceeds 33.34% of total network active stake. This is the smallest coalition that could halt the chain by refusing to vote.
Aggregation: Single value per day: the minimum validator count to cross the 33.34% stake threshold.
Things to know
- Only validators that both produced at least one block and have a recorded active stake on the given day are included in the ranking.
- The threshold is 33.34%, not exactly one-third. This is a deliberate product choice.
- No client, scheduler, or country breakdown is available; it always reflects the full validator set.
- A higher superminority count indicates greater decentralization: more validators must coordinate to threaten consensus.
