Learn about the Validator object type, its fields, and how to query validator data.

Validators

Validators are nodes in the network responsible for validating transactions and maintaining the blockchain's integrity. These entities stake network tokens as collateral and use computing resources to validate transactions and achieve consensus on new blocks. In return, validators receive compensation through newly minted coins or transaction fees.

Sample Queries

Basic Validator Query

{
  validators(order: { address: asc }, limit: 5) {
    id
    address
    isActive
    metrics(limit: 20) {
      metricKey
      defaultValue
    }
  }
}

Search Validators

{
  validators(where: {search: "00000"}, order: { address: asc }, limit: 5) {
    id
    address
    isActive
    metrics(limit: 5) {
      metricKey
      defaultValue
    }
  }
}

Validators can be filtered and ordered using the same patterns as other objects. Use where for filtering and order for sorting.
