Validator APY%

The validator APY calculation is conceptually the same as the Delegator APY% in terms of calculating and using stake-weighted rewards. Noise is also filtered out by only taking into account validators who have been active for the whole time window.

A validator’s total rewards take into account their commissions from voting rewards, block production fees (base fees and priority fees), and commissions from MEV extracted through Jito if applicable.

APY% = (validator’s rewards per stake in SOL * 365 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds) / time period in seconds)

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).
