Vote latency in slots, with selectable statistics (avg and tail percentiles). Measures the delay between when a block is produced and when the validator's vote for that block lands on-chain. The minimum possible latency is 1 slot. Lower latency means faster confirmation and more vote credits under TVC. Alpenglow, due on mainnet in October 2026, removes vote transactions from blocks, so this metric ends then.
