How well the validator set is doing its job each day. Every epoch, validators are expected to attest — to vote on the head of the chain. This chart plots the daily participation rate: of all attestations expected, the percentage actually included on-chain. It is a liveness and health measure, not a count of validators — a high rate means validators are online and the consensus layer is healthy, while dips signal validators going offline or network trouble. QRL 2.0 only (the Proof-of-Work chain has no validators).

FAQ about this chart
Common questions about this page+
What does the attestation rate chart show?
It shows the daily attestation participation rate of the QRL 2.0 validator set: of all the attestations validators were expected to make that day, the percentage that were actually included on-chain. Each epoch, validators attest to the chain head; this chart measures how reliably they did so.
How is this different from the number of validators?
The validator count tells you how many validators exist; the attestation rate tells you how well they are performing their duty. You can have many validators but a low attestation rate if a lot of them are offline or out of sync. This chart is a liveness and health signal, not a roster.
What does a low or jumpy rate mean?
On a mature network the rate sits near 100%. A low or volatile rate means validators are repeatedly missing their attestations — common on a young network where nodes go up and down. Sustained dips on an established network would indicate a consensus or connectivity problem.
Why is there no attestation rate for the Proof-of-Work chain?
Attestations are a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, and only QRL 2.0 runs a beacon chain with validators. The original Proof-of-Work chain secures blocks by mining, so it has no validators and no attestations to measure — hence the QRL 2.0-only badge.
