The Big Picture

Dividends are what validators earn for their validation work. While miners get incentive, validators get dividends. This score determines the validator's share of emissions, which then gets distributed to their delegators (minus take).

Why This Matters

Thinking about delegating to a validator? Dividends show their earning power. Higher dividends = more emissions = better returns for you (after take).

Example Scenario

Query Dividends(netuid=1, uid=5) returns 0.08 (8% of dividend pool). This validator captures 8% of validator emissions on subnet 1. Strong performance.

Common Questions

How do dividends translate to delegator returns?
Validator earns dividends, keeps their 'take' percentage, distributes rest to delegators proportionally. Your return = (dividends × (1 - take)) × (your_stake / total_validator_stake).
Why do some validators have zero dividends?
They may not have validator permit, may not be setting weights, or may have very low stake. Only active validators with sufficient stake earn dividends.

Use Cases

  • Check validator dividend earnings
  • Compare validator profitability for delegation
  • Build validator ranking by dividends
  • Calculate expected returns from delegation
