Network Performance

Number of times the validator's attestation was included on-chain.

This count includes all attestations submitted by the validator, even if they were included too late to earn a reward (such late attestations are still considered "missed" for reward purposes). "Included" reflects every attestation that made it on-chain, regardless of timeliness or eligibility for rewards.

This metric indicates whether your validator is actively submitting attestations to the network.

Number of times the validator was assigned an attestation duty. This represents the total opportunities to attest, regardless of whether the validator fulfilled the duty.

Number of times the validator attested with the correct head block. Correct references are necessary to be rewarded by the chain but incorrect references result in no reward or a penalty.

Number of times the validator attested with the correct source block. Correct references are necessary to be rewarded by the chain but incorrect references result in no reward or a penalty.

Number of times the validator attested with the correct target block. Correct references are necessary to be rewarded by the chain but incorrect references result in no reward or a penalty.

Counts the number of correct head attestations that were included early enough to receive a reward.

Attestations that were included too late to earn a reward (and are treated as missed for reward purposes) are not counted as valuable.

Counts the number of correct source attestations that were included early enough to receive a reward.

Attestations that were included too late to earn a reward (and are treated as missed for reward purposes) are not counted as valuable.

Counts the number of correct target attestations that were included early enough to receive a reward.

Attestations that were included too late to earn a reward (and are treated as missed for reward purposes) are not counted as valuable.

Average inclusion delay measures how quickly a validator's attestations are included in the chain, expressed in slots. Lower values indicate more timely inclusion and better performance.

An ideal value of 0 means every attestation was included at the earliest possible opportunity—one slot after it was assigned to you.

Note: Do not confuse this metric with the reward.inclusion_delay field found in the rewards endpoint, which refers to a specific reward (measured in gwei) that was only applicable prior to the Altair hardfork.

This is your average inclusion delay, excluding any missed blocks.

• If avg_inclusion_delay_excluding_missed_slots is close to zero but avg_inclusion_delay is higher, this indicates that most of your attestations are included promptly, and any lost rewards are primarily due to missed blocks on the network (outside your control).
• If both values are large, it suggests your validator is experiencing delays in submitting attestations, likely due to issues with your validator's setup or connectivity.

Note: avg_inclusion_delay is used for reward calculations. Therefore, an avg_inclusion_delay_excluding_missed_slots of zero does not mean there were no missed rewards.

The avg_inclusion_delay_excluding_missed_slots is always less than or equal to your actual avg_inclusion_delay.

Number of times the validator successfully participated in the sync committee.

Number of times the validator was assigned to participate in the sync committee.

Number of times the validator missed participation in the sync committee.

Number of times the validator successfully proposed a block.

Number of times the validator was assigned to propose a block.

Number of times the validator either missed a scheduled block proposal or had their proposed block orphaned

Number of slashing proofs included in blocks proposed by the validator. A slashing proof provides cryptographic evidence that one or more validators proposing two different blocks for the same slot.
