📚 Validator Monitor FAQs

Answers to common questions about Validator Monitor.

The app

What does Validator Monitor cost?

Nothing. The app is free on Google Play and the Apple App Store.

Do I need a wallet or an account?

No. You don't connect a wallet or sign in. Pick a validator and the app shows its data.

Does it only work for validators in The Vault stake pool?

No. It covers every Solana mainnet validator and every stake pool. Search by name, vote account or identity key. Validators in The Vault stake pool also get pool data in The Vault tab.

Can I follow more than one validator?

You can switch to any validator at any time by tapping the name at the top of the screen. Alerts follow one validator, which you choose under Notifications in the menu.

Data

Which network does the app show?

Solana mainnet-beta. The bottom of every tab shows the network and the time of the last update.

Are the calculators' results guaranteed?

No. Calc, Gauges and Multiply are projections based on the numbers you enter and on current network conditions. Inflation, MEV, fees, SOL price and your stake all change over time.

How is my country and continent rank worked out?

From the location of your node's gossip IP. See Performance tab.

Feedback

I found a bug or a wrong number. What should I do?

Open a support ticket in The Vault Discord. Include screenshots, your validator's pubkey, the steps to reproduce it, and what you expected to see.

Can I earn $V for feedback?
