Display stake distribution among validators

Open alfredonodo opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

Hi, it would be interesting to have a diagram showing the distribution of stakes among validators. 32 ETH are needed to participate in the validation, how many validators own 33%, 51% and 67% of the coins? Thank you

Do you mean how many validators are owned by specific ETH1 addresses?

Validators always operate with an effective balance as their voting weight. So a validator that has a balance of 33 ETH only votes with their effective balance, which is capped at 32 ETH

Correct. Ethereum 2.0 encourages decentralisation by limiting the amount needed to participate as a validator to 32 ETH. A whale, e.g. a CEX or a DEX, holding X ETH could divide them into N wallets and participate as N validators. It would be useful to be able to see the distribution/concentration of the stake among the various validators i.e. the number of unique validators and unique depositors.

We do have some context around this question here: https://beaconcha.in/pools although more addresses need to be indexed to give a more accurate picture.

Thanks for the link. I am aware of it, however the data does not seem to be up to date especially compared to https://etherscan.io/dashboards/beacon-depositors One advantage of beaconchain explorer is that it shows the number of validators per pool. It would be nice to have up-to-date and downloadable data.
