Rated offers independent, third-party node and node operator ratings, robust data pipelines and the most comprehensive infrastructure dataset, for Ethereum.


















Web3 infrastructure data is hard to get and poorly contextualized
Validator nodes and node operators secure billions in value. Yet information about how they perform, the risks that underlie them and the externalities they produce, is fragmented and difficult to find.


Rated solves for this with robust data pipelines, a network explorer and a powerful API
We unearth and then piece together the disjointed datasets that make up the whole of Ethereum’s validator set. We make that data usable through methodologies that are hardened by a community of operators and researchers.

A reliable data utility, at a fraction of the DIY cost
From performance benchmarking to rewards accounting, to building innovative applications like insurance and credit, Rated’s product lines can help get you there reliably.

Monitor your infrastructure
Leverage the Rated Explorer and API to monitor the performance of your infrastructure set.

Power innovative applications
Integrate the Rated API in your workflows and build insurance, lending and other financial applications.

Build reporting
tools
Use the Rated API to track rewards and penalties your infrastructure set has accrued.

Improve your performance
Run A/B tests on different setup configs and get high quality & granular feedback with our Testnet API.
Our APIs make it easy to add staking layer data to your applications
We’re on a mission to abstract all the complexity of Ethereum infrastructure data away, so you can focus on what matters most: driving value to your users.
Rewards API
Deploy precise accounting in a few simple calls, with granular tracking of validator rewards earned.
Performance API
Precisely track, improve and benchmark your current and historical performance of validator fleets.
Metadata API
Help users make informed decisions around staking with access to rich metadata about an operator’s useful life.
Enterprise grade SLAs available. Contact us for more information.
Help stakers make delegation decisions with the Rated widget
An embeddable widget that allows publishers to showcase their performance, vetted from an independent third party; powered by the Rated Metadata API.

We are counting pioneers in staking among our early adopter group
From liquid staking pools to financial application builders, and from large node operators to the next generation in Ethereum proof-of-stake middleware, we are enabling leading orgs across the industry with precise and easy to integrate data.

Lido has leveraged the Rated API to help screen validator operators in the last 2 onboarding rounds for its Ethereum set.

Nexus Mutual is using Rated as source of truth and a pricing input for its slashing and penalties insurance product.

Kiln is using the Rated API as an additional layer of validator monitoring and performance evaluation, on Ethereum Mainnet and Goerli.

SSV uses the Rated API to score for the performance of individual operators, as well as Threshold Signature clusters for its DVT network.

Indexcoop has partnered with Rated to improve transparency and promote good standards for its dsETH index product. Visit the dsETH page here.

Obol is using the Rated API to run live and post-hoc analyses on Testnets, and drive insight back into research.
We separate signal from noise in infrastructure set data
Our team specializes in contextualizing the variables that describe performance, externalities and risk that underlie nodes and operators. We stay on top of the latest developments on Web3’s base layer so you don’t have to.
Our mission is to promote transparency, good standards and improve the foundation of Web3
The reputation data layer that Rated is building is unlocking a whole new class of products and product features, as well as a level of transparency into Web3 infrastructure sets that were never before possible.

Our blog is the home of cutting edge data related research in the infrastructure layer of Ethereum. Read up on deep analyses of emerging trends, and updates on new releases.

Solo stakers: The backbone of Ethereum staking
This post discusses the results of the work we did in classifying Ethereum validators along the likelihood that they are a solo staker. We classified approximately 6.5% of validator indices on the Beacon Chain as solo stakers.

A better way to classify Ethereum's staking layer
London Nov. 29th, 2022 – Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of “tags” and a dedicated section for Node Operators on the Rated explorer.

The Merge series (part 3): MEV landscape
Part 3 of a 3 part blog post series on the Ethereum Merge. In this post, we dive into mev-boost and its adoption, the builder and relay landscapes, and what this adoption and optimization towards MEV and rewards in general mean for the network.

Read up on the latest methodology updates
We maintain an open library of methodologies that power all the features found on the Rated Explorer and APIs. Our documentation is among the most well loved knowledge bases in the industry.
Validator missed rewards computation
This section discusses the methodologies that underlie Rated's calculation of missed rewards on the Beacon Chain.

Baseline MEV
computation
Note: like with most of our work, the index in this calculation is the validator and the validator operator. MEV profits by searchers and builders will not be the focus.
