# Stake Accounts

> Definitions of variables that appear in the Stake Accounts page on the Rated Explorer for Solana.

<Note>
  **Data freshness**: The views on this page refresh on a daily basis except for metrics related to the amount staked, the status of a stake account, and their validator delegate. These other metrics refresh every epoch which is around 2 days.
</Note>

In Solana, a stake account is the account that holds the staked tokens when they are delegated to a validator. Each stake account can only delegate to a single validator at any given time.

## Counters

There are four counters at the top of the view that show a general view of the delegated stake in the network at the moment.

**Total Stake**: Total amount staked in the network

**Stake Accounts**: The number of active (i.e. delegated) stake accounts

**Stake Accounts Deactivating**: The number of deactivating (i.e. undelegating) stake accounts

**Average Delegator APY**: the aggregate annual percentage yield (APY) for delegators in the network

## Network Penetration

This is the percentage distribution of stake that maps under any given delegator based on their delegated stake to validators. We calculate this as:

<Frame className="text-grey-800 dark:text-white text-sm overflow-x-auto lg:justify-start justify-center">
  $$
  Network\ penetration = \frac{delegated\ stake}{total\ network\ stake}
  $$
</Frame>

## Status

The current status of the stake account based on whether they are active (delegated), activating (in the process of delegating), deactivating (in the process of undelegating), inactive (undelegated).

## Validator Delegate

The name of the validator to which this stake account is delegating to.

## Delegator APY

The annual percentage yield earned by this delegator. On the `1d` time period, the APY takes into account the rewards received for the last 3 days to smooth out the noise given Solana's staking rewards schedule, which is every epoch (\~2 days). For more information, please refer to our documentation [Annual Percentage Yield (APY)](/documentation/methodologies/solana/annual-percentage-yield-apy/annual-percentage-yield-apy).

## Validator Effectiveness

This is the effectiveness rating of the validator to whom this stake account has delegated their stake to.
