Read full descriptionHide full description
Perch is a fast, read-only monitor for Solana validators. Track the validators you care about on both mainnet and testnet, and see the metrics that actually matter at a glance. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • Epoch progress and time remaining • Leader slots — produced, skipped, and tim • Leader rewards earned this epoch • Timely Vote Credits (TVC) and your rank • Vote and identity account balances • Activated stake, commission, and client v SFDP COMPLIANCE Perch checks your validator against Solana Foundation Delegation Program requirements and flags issues before they cost you — including client version bounds, commission caps, skip rate, vote-credit minimums, Jito commission, and whether your BLS key is set. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no login, no tracking. Perch reads only public on-chain and network data, and the validators you track are stored on your device. Perch is an independent monitoring tool and is not affiliated with the Solana Foundation.
