Validator Info

Terms of Service

Effective date: 30 July 2026 · Last updated: 30 July 2026

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at validator.info, including all of its subdomains, pages, data views, dashboards, reports, calculators, feeds and any application programming interface we may make available (together, the “Service”).

The Service is operated by the team publishing under the name Validator Info (“Validator Info”, “we”, “us”, “our”).

By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, do not access or use the Service. Your continued use of the Service after any change to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the amended Terms.

2. Definitions

“Content” means all data, statistics, metrics, scores, rankings, charts, tables, reports, text, graphics, layouts, logos and other material made available through the Service.
“Network” means any blockchain protocol for which the Service publishes data, including without limitation Solana, Polygon, Celestia, Cronos POS, Terra Classic, dYdX, HAQQ, AtomOne, TX and EigenLayer.
“Validator” means any node operator, validator, restaking operator or similar participant of a Network about which the Service publishes information.
“You” means the person or entity accessing the Service.

3. What the Service is — and what it is not

3.1. The Service is an informational and analytical resource. Validator Info aggregates publicly available on-chain and off-chain data about Networks and Validators and presents it in a structured form, together with our own calculations, comparisons, commentary and periodic reports.

3.2. We are not a financial intermediary. The Service:

does not accept, hold, transmit, custody or control any digital asset, cryptocurrency, token or fiat currency;
does not execute, facilitate, broker or route any staking, delegation, unstaking, transfer, exchange or other transaction;
does not require, request or store private keys, seed phrases, or wallet credentials;
is not a broker, dealer, exchange, investment adviser, financial adviser, fund manager, custodian, payment institution or money services business, and is not registered or licensed as any of the foregoing in any jurisdiction.

3.3. All transactions are yours alone. Any decision to stake, delegate, redelegate, unstake or otherwise transact on any Network is made by you, executed by you through tooling of your own choosing, and settled by the relevant Network protocol. Validator Info is not a party to it and has no ability to reverse, cancel, modify or recover it.

3.4. Absence of registration and of notification services. The Service is available without registration. We offer no user accounts, no wallet connection, and no notification or alerting service on any channel, including Telegram, electronic mail, short message service and push messaging. Nothing on the Service constitutes an undertaking to monitor any Validator on your behalf or to notify you of any event.

4. No advice of any kind

4.1. Nothing on the Service constitutes, and nothing on the Service should be construed as, investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, legal advice, tax advice, accounting advice, or a recommendation, endorsement, offer or solicitation to stake with, delegate to, transact with, or avoid any Validator, Network, asset or protocol.

4.2. We do not know and do not assess your financial circumstances, objectives, risk tolerance, tax position, or regulatory status. No Content is personalised or suitable for you by reason of appearing on the Service.

4.3. Rankings, scores, grades, “top”, “best” or similarly labelled listings, sorting defaults, comparison tables and editorial commentary are our opinion, derived from a methodology of our choosing which may change at any time. They are not statements of fact, not a guarantee of future performance, and not a recommendation.

4.4. Past performance of any Validator or Network — including uptime, skip rate, commission, APR, APY, MEV or tip revenue, or any historical return figure shown on the Service — is not indicative of future results. Yield and reward figures are estimates based on assumptions that may prove incorrect and on protocol parameters that may change without notice.

4.5. You should obtain independent professional advice before making any decision that may have financial, legal or tax consequences.

5. Accuracy of data — provided “as is”

5.1. Sources. Content is derived from public blockchain data, node RPC and gossip endpoints, third-party APIs, price feeds, Validator-submitted information and our own computations. We do not control the majority of these sources.

5.2. No warranty of accuracy. We make no representation or warranty that any Content is accurate, complete, current, timely, uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for any purpose. Content may be delayed, stale, partially loaded, incorrectly attributed, mis-calculated, or absent. Blockchain data may be reorganised, forked, pruned or reinterpreted after publication.

5.3. Methodology may change. Metrics, definitions, epoch ranges, normalisation, filtering rules and scoring weights may be revised, corrected or withdrawn at any time and without notice, and historical figures may change as a result.

5.4. Verify independently. You are solely responsible for independently verifying any Content before relying on it. Do not rely on the Service as your sole source of information for any decision involving value at risk.

6. Validators, advertising and third parties

6.1. Listing is not endorsement. The presence of a Validator, Network, protocol, product, operator, service or link on the Service does not constitute an endorsement, certification, vetting, audit, approval or recommendation by us, and does not imply any relationship between us and that party.

6.2. No responsibility for third parties. We have no control over, and accept no responsibility or liability for, the conduct, solvency, security, performance, availability, honesty, compliance or content of any Validator, Network, third-party website, third-party API, wallet, exchange, or other third party referenced by or linked from the Service. Any dealings between you and such a third party are solely between you and them.

6.3. Validator-submitted material. Where a Validator or operator submits information to us (such as a name, description, logo, website or contact details), that party represents that it has the right to do so and grants us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display, reproduce and distribute that material through the Service. We may edit, refuse or remove any submitted material at our discretion, and we do not verify its truthfulness.

6.4. Corrections. If you believe information published about you or your Validator is inaccurate, contact us using the contact details published on the Service and we will review it. We are not obliged to publish, retain or amend any particular item of information.

6.5. Advertising and editorial independence.

6.5.1. The Service displays banner advertisements and may display other sponsored placements. Such placements are commercial arrangements in respect of which we receive payment or other consideration.

6.5.2. The appearance of an advertiser on the Service signifies that the advertiser has paid for the placement and signifies nothing further. It does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, review, certification, audit, verification or approval of that advertiser, of any Validator operated by it, or of its products, services or security. Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 12.2 apply to advertisers in full.

6.5.3. Payment for advertising does not influence the metrics, scores, rankings, sort order, comparisons, reports or commentary published on the Service, and does not secure inclusion in, exclusion from, or preferential treatment within any list or dataset. Advertising operations and data operations are maintained separately. We reserve the right to publish data or commentary unfavourable to an advertiser, and the exercise of that right shall not constitute a breach of any advertising arrangement.

6.5.4. We may refuse or withdraw any advertisement at our sole discretion, including where we consider it to be misleading, unlawful, fraudulent, or incompatible with the independence of the Service.

6.5.5. Activation of an advertisement directs you to a third-party website. Outbound advertising links carry campaign tracking parameters which identify the campaign and the placement and which do not identify you. We accept no responsibility for the advertiser’s website, its content, its offers, its terms, its security or its privacy practices, and any dealing between you and an advertiser is solely between you and that advertiser. You should verify any offer independently before acting upon it, and any request for private keys, seed phrases or the transfer of funds should be treated as fraudulent.

6.5.6. The treatment of personal data in connection with advertising is addressed at Section 5 of the Privacy Policy.

7. Assumption of risk

You acknowledge and accept that participation in proof-of-stake networks carries substantial risk, including without limitation:

slashing, jailing, tombstoning or other protocol penalties applied to a Validator, which may result in partial or total loss of delegated stake;
operator failure — downtime, missed or skipped leader slots, missed attestations or votes, key compromise, misconfiguration, insolvency, or abandonment;
commission and fee changes, including retroactive or unannounced changes to stake commission, MEV or tip commission, or reward-sharing arrangements;
lock-up, warm-up, cool-down, unbonding and withdrawal delays, during which assets cannot be moved or sold;
protocol changes — hard forks, parameter changes, governance decisions, inflation or emission schedule changes, consensus redesigns and validator-set caps, any of which may materially change economics or eligibility;
market risk — extreme price volatility, illiquidity and total loss of value;
technical risk — bugs, exploits, MEV extraction, network congestion, censorship, chain halts and reorganisations;
regulatory risk — changes in law or enforcement affecting staking, digital assets or your ability to hold them.

You use the Service, and act on anything you learn from it, entirely at your own risk. You may lose some or all of your assets. Only put at risk what you can afford to lose entirely.

8. Permitted use and prohibited conduct

8.1. You may access and use the Service for your own lawful, informational purposes.

8.2. You must not, and must not permit any other person or automated agent to:

use the Service in violation of any applicable law, regulation or sanctions regime;
access the Service by automated means in a manner that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionate load on our infrastructure, or that circumvents or attempts to circumvent any rate limit, access control, authentication, robots directive or technical restriction;
scrape, harvest, mirror, re-host or systematically extract Content in bulk for the purpose of building, training, marketing or operating a competing or substantially similar product or dataset, except with our prior written permission;
resell, sublicense or commercially redistribute Content as a standalone product;
interfere with, disrupt, probe, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, its servers, networks or any account or data on them;
introduce malware or any other harmful code;
remove, obscure or alter any proprietary notice, attribution or watermark;
misrepresent the origin of Content, or present it in a false, misleading or defamatory context, or in a way that implies endorsement by us;
reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any part of the Service except to the extent that restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

8.3. Fair use of data. We generally welcome referencing our published figures and charts in research, journalism and commentary, provided you attribute them to Validator Info with a link to the relevant page and do not alter their meaning. This permission is revocable and does not extend to bulk redistribution.

8.4. API. If we make an API available, its use is subject to these Terms together with any additional documentation, rate limits or key terms published for it. We may impose, change or withdraw limits, require keys, meter usage, or discontinue the API at any time.

8.5. Enforcement. We may, without notice and without liability, block, rate-limit, or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, for any reason, including suspected breach of this Section.

9. Intellectual property

9.1. Raw public blockchain data is not owned by us. However, the Service as a whole — including its selection, arrangement, structuring, enrichment and presentation of data, its derived metrics, methodologies, scores, reports, written commentary, design, layout, source code, and the “Validator Info” name and logo — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property and database laws.

9.2. Except as expressly permitted in Section 8.3 or by applicable law, no right or licence in the Service or Content is granted to you.

9.3. Third-party names, logos and marks appearing on the Service belong to their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only.

9.4. Copyright complaints. If you believe material on the Service infringes your rights, contact us using the contact details published on the Service, with sufficient detail to identify the material and your rights in it.

10. Availability and changes to the Service

10.1. The Service is provided on a best-efforts basis. We do not guarantee any level of availability, uptime, latency, data freshness or support.

10.2. We may at any time, without notice and without liability: modify, suspend, restrict or discontinue the Service or any part of it; add, change or remove Networks, Validators, metrics, pages, reports or features; change methodologies; or impose conditions on access.

10.3. We may perform maintenance, migrations and experiments that interrupt or degrade the Service.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE.

WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, TIMELY OR ERROR-FREE; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; THAT THE SERVICE OR ITS SERVERS ARE FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS; OR THAT ANY CONTENT IS ACCURATE, CURRENT OR RELIABLE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. To the extent such an exclusion is not permitted, the exclusions above apply to the fullest extent permitted by the law applicable to you, and any warranty that cannot be excluded is limited in duration to the shortest period permitted by that law.

12. Limitation of liability

12.1. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER VALIDATOR INFO NOR ANY OF ITS OPERATORS, CONTRIBUTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, STAKING REWARDS, YIELD, DIGITAL ASSETS, TOKENS, CRYPTOCURRENCY, VALUE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, DATA, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

12.2. WITHOUT LIMITING SECTION 12.1, WE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR:

ANY DECISION YOU MAKE TO STAKE, DELEGATE, REDELEGATE, UNSTAKE OR TRANSACT, OR TO REFRAIN FROM DOING SO;
ANY SLASHING, JAILING, PENALTY, DOWNTIME, MISSED REWARD, COMMISSION CHANGE, OR OTHER ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY VALIDATOR;
ANY INACCURACY, DELAY, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, MISCALCULATION OR MISATTRIBUTION IN ANY CONTENT;
ANY FAILURE, BUG, EXPLOIT, HALT, FORK, REORGANISATION, GOVERNANCE DECISION OR PARAMETER CHANGE OF ANY NETWORK;
ANY ACT, OMISSION, FAILURE OR INSOLVENCY OF ANY THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING DATA PROVIDERS, PRICE FEEDS, WALLETS, EXCHANGES, ADVERTISERS, SPONSORS AND LINKED SITES;
ANY ADVERTISEMENT, SPONSORED PLACEMENT OR THIRD-PARTY OFFER DISPLAYED ON THE SERVICE, OR ANY TRANSACTION YOU ENTER INTO WITH AN ADVERTISER;
ANY UNAUTHORISED ACCESS TO, ALTERATION OF, OR LOSS OF DATA.

12.3. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, AND (B) ONE HUNDRED EURO (EUR 100). The Service is presently provided free of charge, and you acknowledge that this allocation of risk is an essential basis on which we make it available to you.

12.4. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12.5. If you are a consumer, these Terms do not affect your mandatory statutory rights under the law of your country of residence.

13. Indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Validator Info and its operators, contributors, employees, contractors, agents and licensors from and against any claim, demand, action, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of or reliance on the Service or any Content; (b) your breach of these Terms or of any applicable law; (c) your infringement of any right of a third party; or (d) any material you submit to us.

14. Compliance, sanctions and export

You represent and warrant that you are not: located in, ordinarily resident in, or organised under the laws of any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions; listed on any sanctions or restricted-party list maintained by the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States or any other competent authority; or acting on behalf of any such person. You must not use the Service in breach of any applicable sanctions, export control, anti-money-laundering or counter-terrorist-financing law.

You are responsible for determining whether your use of the Service and your participation in any Network is lawful in your jurisdiction. The Service is not directed at, and may not be used by, any person where such use would be contrary to local law or would subject us to any registration or licensing requirement in that jurisdiction.

15. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and explains what information we collect and how we handle it.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on the Service and changing the “Last updated” date above. Material changes take effect when posted. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not accept the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

17. Governing law and disputes

17.1. These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims), are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator of the Service is established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

17.2. The courts of that jurisdiction shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim, save that if you are a consumer resident in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you retain the benefit of any mandatory protective provisions of the law of your country of residence and may bring proceedings in the courts of that country.

17.3. Informal resolution first. Before commencing any proceedings, you agree to contact us using the contact details published on the Service and to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for a period of thirty (30) days.

17.4. No class actions. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you may bring claims against us only in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding.

17.5. Time limit. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Service must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, failing which it is permanently barred.

18. General

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms published for a specific feature, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior understandings.
Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
No partnership or agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment or fiduciary relationship between you and us.
Third parties. Except as expressly stated, no person other than you and us has any right to enforce these Terms.
Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including network outages, chain halts, infrastructure or third-party provider failure, natural events, war, civil unrest, or acts of government.
Survival. Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17 and 18 survive any termination of your use of the Service.
Language. These Terms are drafted in English. Any translation is provided for convenience only; in the event of conflict, the English version prevails.
Headings. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
