- Validator - contains validator statistics including per-era commission information as well as (total) Node rewards
- Metrics
- Address Creation - age of the address. "Veteran" validators are generally more reputable
- Identity - on-chain identity (configurable in the XX Network Walllet) means more transparency
- Identity - on-chain identity (configurable in the XX Network Wallet) means more transparency
- Slashes - any violations that the validator may have performed
- Nominators - number of nominators. This can range from 1 (self-staked validators) to dozens (which may indicate the validator is reputable and successful, or that Simple Staking tool picks this node with some regularity, or even that be a scam)
- Commission - this is "average", so it won't tell you if it wasn't set to 90% the day before, but generally 20% is the upper limit of commonly seen range. A low average may be attractive, but it can also be a bait so other metrics need to be evaluated as well (for example, an old validator address, on-chain identity, and a history of validation longer than 100 eras would be good signs)
- Fequency of Payouts - regular payouts indicate more engagement and free the nominators from having to do it themselves
- Frequency of Payouts - regular payouts indicate more engagement and free the nominators from having to do it themselves
