Share of votable slots where the validator actually voted: votes ÷ (votes + missed votes). Well-run validators sit at 98–99%+; at the network level it's a consensus-health signal, since widespread misses delay finality. Alpenglow, due on mainnet in October 2026, removes vote transactions from blocks, so this metric ends then.

What it shows
Percentage of votable slots in which the validator submitted a successful on-chain vote. A missed vote forfeits both vote credits and the associated inflation reward for that slot.
How it is computed
For each validator, the vote success rate is votes landed on-chain divided by total votable slots (successful plus missed votes), as a percentage. At client and network level the rate is recomputed from pooled totals rather than averaging per-validator percentages, giving each slot equal weight.
Aggregation: Pooled ratio: sum of votes divided by sum of total votable slots across the group.
Things to know
- Well-run validators typically maintain 98 to 99% or higher. A sustained drop below 95% is a delinquency signal and may prompt stake withdrawal by delegators.
- Network-level drops usually indicate cluster incidents or widespread connectivity problems rather than individual validator failures.
- A missed vote forfeits both vote credits and the associated inflation reward for that slot, tying this metric directly to staking income.
