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.
