Validator Efficiency

Definition

Validator Efficiency refers to the degree to which nodes responsible for validating transactions and securing a blockchain network perform their duties effectively and resourcefully. This metric is particularly relevant in proof-of-stake and other consensus mechanisms where validators are incentivized to operate reliably. High validator efficiency contributes to network throughput, reduced latency, and overall stability. It also influences the cost of network operation and the distribution of rewards among participants.
