We’re excited to introduce a major update to the Diamond UI focused on validator analytics, staking transparency, and an improved user experience.
This release introduces enhanced Validator and Delegator Profiles together with new historical performance metrics, making it easier for both delegators and validator operators to evaluate validator performance and make informed staking decisions.
New Reward Analytics
One of the biggest additions in this release is a new set of historical reward-based performance metrics.
Unlike stake size or voting power alone, these metrics provide a much clearer picture of actual validator performance and historical profitability.
RpT30 — Rewards per 1000 DMD (30 Days)
RpT30 measures how many DMD rewards were earned for every 1000 DMD delegated to a validator during the last 30 days.
Example: 1000 delegated DMD earned 5.82 DMD during the last 30 days.
RpT30 naturally reflects multiple aspects of validator quality, including:
- Validator profitability
- Active epoch participation
- Bonus Score efficiency
- Validator uptime
- Pool saturation
- Validator election frequency
For delegators, RpT30 becomes one of the most valuable indicators when comparing validators.
Note: RpT30 reflects only staking rewards and does not include the validator owner reward share.
VOS30 — Validator Owner Share (30 Days)
Validator owners now receive a dedicated profitability metric. VOS30 displays the total rewards earned from the 20% validator owner reward share during the previous 30 days.
This helps validator operators evaluate:
- Validator profitability
- Active participation frequency
- Whether the validator stake is sufficient
- Overall validator performance over time
If a node operator reward share is configured, the displayed value represents the validator owner’s net earnings after deducting the configured operator share.
AEP30 — Active Epoch Participation
AEP30 shows the percentage of epochs during the last 30 days in which a validator participated in the active validator set.
This metric explains why two validators with similar scores may generate different rewards, as active participation depends on a combination of Bonus Score, stake size, and the validator selection process.
Estimated APY
Validators now display an estimated Annual Percentage Yield (APY) calculated from historical rewards over the previous 30 days.
This provides a familiar way to compare staking performance while clearly indicating that it is:
- Historical
- Estimated
- Non-guaranteed
Validator Saturation
A new saturation indicator shows how close a validator pool is to the 50,000 DMD maximum pool capacity.
This helps delegators understand when a pool is approaching its staking limit and how increasing pool size may affect future reward efficiency.
Updated Validator & Delegator Profiles
Both Validator and Delegator Profiles have been redesigned to provide a clearer overview of staking activity and rewards.
The updated layouts include:
- Dedicated rewards analytics
- Historical performance statistics
- Improved stake and rewards overview
- Enhanced tooltips explaining every metric
- Better organization of validator and delegator information
Improved Validators List
The Validators List has also been significantly enhanced with new analytics and customization options.
New Performance Columns
The validator table now supports additional performance metrics, including:
- RpT30
- VOS30
- Active Epoch Participation (AEP30)
- Estimated APY
- Validator Saturation
All metrics can be enabled or hidden using the Customize Columns feature.
Better Validator Comparison
The new reward-oriented metrics make validator comparison significantly easier. Instead of relying primarily on stake size or voting power, delegators can now evaluate validators based on historical reward performance and actual network participation.
RpT30 is expected to become one of the primary metrics for selecting a validator, as it directly reflects historical staking profitability.
Thank you to everyone who continues testing and paving ways to improve the DMD Diamond UI.
