Decentralization is only as strong as its validators. Misconfigured or exposed nodes can introduce risks that affect the entire network. That’s why at PGDN we’re publishing transparent validator security benchmarks to give operators and communities the tools to improve.

• Validators scored on a 0–100 scale.

• Median score: 45%

• Highest observed score: 93%

• Lowest observed score: 15%

• 18.5% of validators met or exceeded our “good practice” threshold of 70.

To make this benchmark actionable, we’ve launched the PGDN Sentinel Discord Bot:

• Query validator scores directly in Discord

• Trigger rescans instantly

• Claim ownership to unlock enhanced analytics

We’ll refresh this dataset every month, building a public archive of validator security benchmarks across multiple protocols. Transparency + tools = stronger decentralized infrastructure.
