Main Validator details

  • Operator Address: the address associated with the validator itself

  • Voting Power: percentage of the latest validator set's total voting power
  • Uptime & Missed Blocks: missed blocks shows how many blocks the validator has missed consensus for since they were added to the blockchain as part of the active validator set. Uptime is the percentage representation of the Missed Blocks count
